Buying call

Buy the U1 if you want multicolor and multi-material printing with less waste: reviewers praised its tool changer, high-speed CoreXY motion, open Klipper and Orca software, AI camera error detection and seamless automatic calibration. Skip it if you print heat-sensitive or high-temperature filaments often, because the open frame limits materials and the enclosure is extra. It started as a Kickstarter, and early units had connectivity bugs.
