Thanks everyone for keeping the slicing showcase going!
Shoutout to the latest 10 contributors (according to the post date): @Wombley @Shelby @ThomasDN @unlucio @Marko @nik4223 @Ash (post twice) @Tjomme @nik4223

We hit another 10-post milestone — so this time we’ve got 2 winners!
Big congrats to @ThomasDN and @Tjomme !
Each of you will receive a spool of Snapmaker PLA/PETG. Please check your PMs for details.

Let’s keep these slicing result comparison coming. The next draw will unlock when there’re another 5 new contributors.

Update:
To encourage more people to join in, we’re now limiting the draw to one entry per person. This time, one contributor happened to post twice, and that’s fine — we honored it for this draw. Going forward, each person can only enter once.

Ahhahahah, showing the wheel is awesome! :blush:

Also, if it comes again please disqualify me. It’s nice to be included, but I just wanted to help the team reach a drawing. It feels greedy to actually enter when I’m sitting here testing the thing everyone’s eagerly waiting for. :sweat_smile:

Limiting the draw to one per person is completely fair. But we just might keep posting examples of how great the U1 looks in comparison to other brands! :wink: (Unless you really don’t want us to.)

Here’s what I got with one 2-color Greek Amphora Vase (version with 150% scale, it’s a tall print):

  • U1: 13h17min, 29.82g tower

  • Bambu P1S with the E3D HF Nozzle: 1d21h55min, 478.89g flushed + 112.76g tower

  • Model: Greek Amphora

  • Model creator: Surreal Sonicus Studios

  • U1 Saving: approx. 32.6 hours and 570.21 grams of filament

  • In total, U1 takes only 29% of the time and uses only 30% as much filament (only 5% as much waste!)
