As I’ve said before, the machine is still in testing. I’ll be back with full results later.

S58_is_the_goat Impressive system but it seems it's just a Band-Aid fix until a real tool changer comes out. The snapmaker u1 prints even faster than the prusa xl so being twice as slow as the xl is a let down. Reply
edzieba it still needs a sizable purge tower Prime tower, not 'purge tower'. Two unrelated concepts: purging is removing the 'old' filament that fills the meltzone and nozzle after filament is changed upwards of the heatbreak. Priming is the process required for any nozzle going from cold to hot (or warm to hot) to ensure consistent flow by forcing out air pockets, and more importantly getting the nozzle up to a consistent known backpressure to ensure calibrated pressure-advance actually works . Just like toolchangers (e.g. the Prusa XL) priming the nozzle is necessary after nozzle-swaps in order get filament flowing back all the way through the melt zone to the nozzle orifice. Like with other toolchangers (or filament switchers), you can omit the prime tower (e.g. by priming into infill) at the cost of quality: if you run out of infill before priming is completed, your visible outer walls will have gaps from inconsistent flow, and the infill will contain cavities that compromise part strength. .

chaos215bar2 The price revealed to Tom’s Hardware starts at $2399 US for a basic H2C with an AMS 2 Pro. This is the model we are reviewing. You can also pick up an Ultimate combo that comes with an additional single spool AMS HT for $2999. An AMS HT for $600? Apparently no one from Tom's hardware could be bothered to take 30 seconds to scan the product page, because what the "Ultimate Set" comes with is an additional AMS 2, an AMS HT, and 5 additional nozzles. And that's on top of the single AMS 2 and 6 nozzles the base includes. It's a separate set that must obviously ship in its own box due to size. And the laser at $2999 does not include the extras. Please do some basic research before posting. It's really disrespectful to your readers to completely gloss over the information that's actually new in the announcement like this. Is this the kind of reporting you expect people to pay a monthly subscription to view in your paywalled articles? Reply
zworykin Please, for the love of all things literary – "half as fast" as the XL. Not "twice as slow" – which isn't a thing. Reply
