notes:
[1]This data was obtained by printing with PLA filament and a 0.4 mm standard-flow nozzle, using a 0.2 mm layer height, 200 mm/s outer wall speed, and 250 mm/s infill speed.
[2]“Purge” here refers specifically to the process of squeezing out the remaining material from the extrusion path during color or material changes. It does not include the “wiping” procedure used to clean residual filament from the nozzle. During multi-material printing with the Snapmaker U1, a small amount of filament is used in a wiping tower to ensure print quality.
[3]This is a typical result from Snapmaker Lab tests and is for reference only.
[4]Filament usage may vary with model size, color layout, and print settings. In Snapmaker Lab tests under similar conditions, U1 used roughly 17% to 47% of the filament required by other single-head printers for the same multi-color prints.
[5]This data was measured using clean nozzles. Calibrating with an unclean nozzle could lead to less accurate results.
[6]Detection capabilities will be enabled in December 2025 through an OTA firmware update.
[7]This data was obtained using Snapmaker ABS filament, under a printing temperature of 280°C.
