I don't know much about the Snapmaker U1 other than what's stated on this thread and on their site. Just looks like a more open alternative to Bambu if you need fancy features like multi filament printing.

I buy most of my filament from Micro Center (their Inland brand) and some I've gotten from Amazon.

    Thanks for the quick replies! That snapmaker U1 looks great, but I do see that page referencing their app, so it could go either way, depending on whether their app is a mandatory part of the pathway.

    The other one sounds like it might be a great way to get my daughter into more techy stuff, since she loves 3d printed stuff, so modifying it and needing to also modify the firmware might even be a plus for that.

    It looks like you can control it with vanilla Orcaslicer. See the last post in this Snapmaker forum thread, for instance. It may or may not be willing to take gcode through the USB port—the specs indicate it has one.

    It looks to me like they're continuing in their usual direction of fairly open software on mostly proprietary hardware.
