As Sandstorm 3D Designs continues to grow, we’re starting to look at adding another printer—or possibly more than one—to our printer fleet, and I’d really like to hear from the people actually using them every day.

If you have a printer you love, one you wish you had avoided, or simply some experience that could help us make a better decision, please share it with us.

What printer or printers are you currently running? What do you like about them? What has your experience been like? And are there any pros, cons, quirks, or things you think we should know before making our next purchase?

There’s no wrong answer here. Real-world experience from this community is incredibly valuable to us, and it helps us make decisions based on more than just specs on a website.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to share your knowledge and experience with us. Every bit of feedback helps Sandstorm continue to grow, improve, and hopefully make even better things for all of you. ❤️

I have a Bambu lab A1 and let me just say that my printer is an asshole lol

LOL All 4 of our machines are Bambu Lab. X2D, X1C, A1 Mini, A2L. All of mine have been beasts, 8000hrs on the X1C and 2500hrs on the X2D already. Very little work to any of them thankfully.

I have four bamboo lab, P2 S, which I have no issue with except if you have color printing it does take a while to print on those. I do have the AMS pros with them and then we have a Snapmaker U1 that we bought last month which really cuts down on the printing time for color printing, but I do not like that. The spools are on the side of the machine and you have to load and unload the filament every time you wanna change it out whereas with the P2 S you just put the filament in tell what color that’s a minor thing really I actually just bought another Snapmaker. U1 yesterday on the Amazon prime deal but I like both. My next printer will definitely have a bigger build plate area.

I love my Anycubic Kobra X's and so far my Creality SparkX i7 but i eventually want to get the Bambu Lab A2L and a Snapmaker and the new Creality SparkX i8 looks good too along with the Creality K3 only thing i don't like about Creality is the slicer. I like the Anycubic Next Slicer better.

I am thinking about the H2C but it is the price that gets me. But I have a friend that has 14000hrs on their machine with very little work ever done to it. You cant argue with those results, but it is a lot of money up front. Thank you

The only one I have any experience with is the Bambu A2L and so far it is great. Only 800hrs so far, but so far so good. Not sure what we are going to do because Bambu is coming out with their new machines soon. The only reason I like Bambu is the reliability of them so far. High hours with very little money into them other than regular things. I don't know anyone with high hours on a U1 yet. We will see.

Yes, I’ve been looking at it and it’s the price that’s stopping me right now but I thought the Snapmaker on the prime deal for 700 bucks was a good deal plus I had like 200 in Amazon gift cards I had never used so it was a deal to me, but the H2 C is definitely on my list. I just got my first two printers the first week of May and then we bought two more in July and then the Snapmaker last month and now another Snapmaker it seems like every time I turn around I just need another printer, which is not a bad thing. I’m not complaining because we’ve our business is starting out pretty good, but I really want to look at the H2 C. I want to be able to print bigger things.

Ya I agree, it's the price. We picked up the A2L because we needed to be able to make signs for customers. We live in an RV resort and everyone wants signs for their RV. So far for the price it has been great. I can make one of the notebooks in one plate rather than 2. So it's wonderful. But the H2C is on the list unless something better comes out.
