For the backers, my fellow creative beta testers, and to Snapmaker. Let’s print the Snapmaker U1 on the Snapmaker U1!
Build video here, including build plate..:

@Wombley you are just the it man, this was so perfect to see the U1 make itself lol.
Is it Inception season 2 ?
Why isn’t there a small U1 inside the model ?
great job Wombley
Just came to post, lol…
By popular demand: A U1 in a U1 in a U1 in a U1 in a U1!
Note this was a very low-effort attempt for the laughs, just scaling the model in SM Orca and letting it fly. It’s “hairy” in spots as it was designed to print specifically at original scale, so certain defects came out from the model/slicing I didn’t bother addressing.
This was fun though, lol. All 3 of the smaller U1’s and their spools printed in a fraction of the time the original body did.
The smallest one I just had to paint some pieces with everything joined because tiny features wouldn’t slice at all by default at this scale, lol… spools were fine though.
Excellent - all you now just need is one double size the real U1 - not sure how many parts would be required though - probably about 16 - so probably not really practical.
Yeah. If I’d chosen a slightly smaller scale for the original one I did, I could’ve done one at full print volume and squeezed out one more, hahaha. I checked though, and at full volume, the original model wouldn’t quite have fit inside it.
Great job @Wombley, you’ve done it !
Awesome work! This is so funny hahaha
That is definitely cool, great job @Wombley
