SnapmakerShowcase#1

Every 3D printing story starts with a Benchy.

For our first time-lapse with the Snapmaker U1, we went back to where it all begins: a 4-color 3DBenchy.

Model: 3D Benchy

Designer: Daniel Norée

Source: Creative Tools

Material: Snapmaker SnapSpeed PLA

Layer height: 0.2 mm

Nozzle: 0.4 mm hardened steel

Print settings:

• Acceleration: 10000 mm/s²

• Speed: Infill 270 mm/s, Top fill 200 mm/s, Walls 200 mm/s, Travel 500 mm/s

• Shell: 5 bottom layers, 3 top layers, 2 walls

• Infill: 15%, grid pattern

Total print time: 2h17m

Filament used: 36.07g

Did the U1 pass your print test this time?

Forget time for now… Is that time lapse from the official chamber camera? It looks great!

OK though. I did my two color benchy on my J1 in about 2 hours (I don’t recall exactly). So keeping that time with double the tools is pretty slick!

The U1 print speed is faster than I managed, even though the IDEX swap is slightly faster [on the J1]. And way, way faster altogether than a single extruder of course.

Very impressive, and it looks clean from here. Could we see some closer photos of the benchy?

It is from the built in cam

3DBenchy 2h17m…

…with color swaps on almost every level, sometimes three or four.

Here are the photos of the 4-color Benchy.

Thanks, @Sherry ! Overall this is really impressive.

for the speed used, the results are amazing! Any hint when will start and how much? =)

We will share updates with you as soon as we have news.

I think you didn’t mention the scale! Is this 200% of the original posted on MakerWorld? Because this is what I get if I download the 3mf and scale it 200% for an AMS system:

2d 20h with 1.2kg of filament

So U1 is 3.4x faster and less than half the filament? Saving half a spool in purge waste!

And yours might be slightly bigger even! This screen shot is with 160mm z height.

It was actually scaled to 180%, so very close!
