I love finding models I'd hate to print on my X1C but is tailormade for the U1. Just under 12 hours for this print. I paused just above the waist to swap red for beige colored filament. Https://makerworld.com/en/models/2356673-fatman-dark-street#profileId-2577959

Printing this Oni mask took over one day. We had a huge storm during the later portions of the print, so I'm glad the power didn't go out. I used black, red and gold Silk PLA and matte white PLA. Man, I love being able to print this with just a prime tower and minimal purge.

The only bits that don't look as good are under the cylinders on the cheeks and under the top lip. However, you don't really see those areas unless you look from underneath. Otherwise it is a clean print.

15 hr print, no issues found. Used filament that came with the printer. I kick myself for not trying gold silk PLA versus yellow. https://makerworld.com/en/models/2733890-battle-beast-thokk-invincible-multicolor#profileId-3030537

This might be old news to the experienced folks, but I came across a forum posting about how to make supports that come off easier. I've tried this a few times and it works way better for me. I know I could use PETG supports with PLA, or support filament but if you don't have that on hand this might help.

Top Z distance: Increase slightly from 0.2 mm to 0.3 mm. This will make the supports easier to remove by increasing the gap between the support and the model, reducing adhesion.

Bottom Z distance: Keep this at 0.2 mm. Changing this usually does not significantly affect support removal unless you’re experiencing issues with supports sticking to the build plate.

Top interface layers: Reduce from 2 layers to 1 layer. This will make the supports easier to remove but may slightly affect the surface quality.

Bottom interface layers: Reduce from 2 layers to 1 layer. This can help with easier removal if the supports are sticking too much to the build plate.

This is the third print I've done so far. Came out clean and no issues during the print.

After doing the test print, I decided to do a Miles Morales figure. It looks much better in person than in the picture. And I am loving the reduction in waste and increase of speed over my X1C.

My RSD purchase finally arrived :)
