The 3 best creative replies will get a shoutout in my next post 
Thanks to everyone who joined the last Snapoll.
The poll is now closed, and itās been great to see the wide range of ways youāre planning to use the U1, especially those practical and hands-on applications that really make it shine.
A new Snapoll is just around the corner. Stay tuned and get ready to share your thoughts again soon.
SnapPoll#2
How much would you pay for Snapmaker U1 on Kickstarter? (USD, incl. shipping & taxes) 
Just the U1 with all four toolheads, no add-ons included.
Kickstarter discounted price, all fees included.
We want the Snapmaker U1 to be a great value. Thoughtful comments welcome: Iād pay $____ becauseā¦ (performance? features? support? innovation?)
How does it stack up against your current machine?
SnapPoll#3
Weāre exploring multi-material printing with the U1 and want to hear from you.
Which type are you most interested in or planning to try?
SnapPoll: What add-ons do you want most for the U1 Kickstarter?
Vote for your must-haves below. Select all that apply.
Have a must-have add-on in mind thatās not on the list? Feel free to add it, just keep it focused so the votes stay meaningful.
Note: Weāve heard your requests for hardened steel hotends in different sizes (like 0.2 / 0.6 / 0.8mm). While this is already on our roadmap, current software doesnāt yet support mixed nozzle sizes across toolheads, so for the Kickstarter, weāll offer only the 0.4mm option as an add-on.
Specifically for PEI sheets, different textures. The normal gold rough ones can be good for adhesion for some prints. But the black, smooth PEI can be so nice for smooth bottoms on other prints.
SnapPoll#5: Ever thought about how much filament $$$ U1 saves you every year?
Letās slice a Baby Dragon to see the difference:
U1 - 2h39min, 12.54g tower (waste)
Other printer - 15h26min, 182.63g flushed + 33.74g tower = 216.37g (waste)
Waste reduced by 94%, and ~200g filament saved for just one little dragon = ~$3 (when using PLA)
If you print multi-color models regularly, those savings add up fast:
$3/saved per model * 2 models/week * 48 weeks a year = $288/year
Curious ā which one is you?
In truth, Iām saving time! And I would get to start doing even more colors and materials.
As a weekend hobbyist, filament changers were always too slow (and yeah, wasteful) to be useful, so I never had one. The U1 would let me really go wild!
ā17 times less"??
How does anything become less when you multiply it by seventeen?
Haha, sorry for the confusion. The āxā after 17 was meant to indicate times, not a multiplication sign. Iāve corrected it now. 
Thank you, Thomas!
Not to split hairs but writing āx" or ātimes" means the same. Strictly speaking it should be 'āone seventeenthā.
āSeventeen times/x less" is of course understandable even if it is kinda nonsense. 
Why not just write āwaste reduced by 94%ā ?
Ok not to fan the flame here, but Iāve always taken ā[whole number] times lessā to mean ādivide by [whole number].ā 
Well that is the point, innit? You have to ātake it to meanā because what is written is nonsense. 
You wouldnāt say ātwo times lessā, would you? You would say half. Then why āseventeen times lessā?
Long time bug-bear for me too. Mathematical nonsense and terrible deterioration of language, but it has become normalised. I think it promotes misunderstanding of numbers.
The reason? It sounds more dramatic, so advertisers like it, and then it seeps into common usage. No way should it be lingua franca in technical discussions.
Whatās seventeen times less than seventeen? I would say -272.
My daughterās gut reaction would be ā0?ā
Thanks so much for your suggestions and feedback! We really appreciate you pointing out the potential confusion. The wording has now been updated to make it clearer and more accurate.
Donāt worry - we are just being pedantic because we have nothing better to do.
