Hello,

I’m a complete beginner and am torn between the U1 and the X2D. I know they are two very different printers, but I still have a few questions. Perhaps some of you own both printers.

Personally, I wouldn't do much multi-color printing right now; I’d lean more towards materials like ASA and ABS, since I do a lot of work with microcontrollers.

However, I have a daughter (5 years old), and I’m sure that, in the end, I would frequently print using multiple colors.

The H2D or H2C is out of the question; that’s too much money for a first printer.

A question for those who might also own the U1: If I were to buy a hood for the U1 and perhaps a chamber heater (like the Panda Breath), would the U1’s print quality with complex materials then be comparable to that of the X2D?

Can I use the X2D from day one without signing in, using the cloud, or registering?
