Comment on upgrading creality k1 -> snapmaker u1

After a bed slinger (any cubic Kobra) A upgraded corexy (Sapphire S) I switched to the Snapmaker u1 and so far I think its the best decision I made.
What i live about it: the setup/multicolour function.
I rarely use multicolour prints, but sometimes I just print multiple parts in multiple colors and its awesome. Just press print and leave it alien, couldn’t be happier!
I printed multiple “print in place parts” For example this monitor shelf with VERY little tolerance without any changes in the settings. Turned out perfect! And some fidget toys (also print on place) without any issues.
There is still room for speed optimisation ( German YouTube tutorial ) but i think i am fine, so far there is no need for me to make it faster.
The only downside for me was that it isn’t fully enclosured. And 120 bucks for a “bucket” with fans is way too much.
I still need to decide if make an “IKEA enclosure” or just built a classic plexiglass cover.
Also I dunno why but there is a huge gap in the door, so when you build/buy an enclosure you really should also insulate the door for better inside temperatures

Thank you.
Great news about the pip models.
Are you using the filament with RFID for automatic detection?
FuyuhikoDate@feddit.org 1 day ago
Both
It came with 4 roles with RFID (nice to have) and I used 2 older roles of pla I had lying around.
One prints perfectly the second needs a bit calibration (stringing) and desperately more drying.
Btw. I forgot: I recommend a Klipper fork, since -and I really dont know why they freaking doing that… You cannot use the webcam in the clipper browser view.
