Creality K3 vs Snapmaker U1

Hello everyone. Lately, the Snapmaker U1 printer has really caught my eye. I currently own the Creality K1, K1C, and K1 Max CFS; each has seen over 2,000 hours of use. I want to sell my K1 and K1C printers and upgrade to a new-generation multi-color printer, but I’m torn between the Creality K3 and the Snapmaker U1. What are the downsides of the U1? Does it have any known chronic issues? I’d appreciate your advice. The Creality K1 series (both single and multi-color models) gave me quite a bit of trouble over time—I experienced frequent clogging issues. (I have no experience with the K2 series.)

What is your take on this?

My Hydroponic Tower - FINAL

This is the latest update on my PETG printing project. I've been under the sun all day, and it's currently 40 C° in Türkiye.

I shared the initial version before, you might have seen it. I'll be starting to eat all the vegetables soon. I'm planning to extend the tower in the second phase. There's a lot of demand from people around me :)

I prepared this using Creality K1, K1C, and K1Max CFS printers.

3D Printed Hydroponic Tower

My first step into modern farming :)

My first hydroponic tower made with my 3D printer. I used about 2 kilos of PETG filament. I used Creality K1 and K1 Max printers. 24 lettuce plants are waiting to grow.

I gave them nutrients A and B, and adjusted the pH. They are ready to grow.

I have a 4-in-1 measuring device, I check it regularly. However, the system is not stable yet. Or maybe my lettuce plants love to eat :)
