Meet Snapmaker U1
Make More, Waste Less
Perspectives from Pros
Creative Vibes, Uplifted by U1
Whether you're bonding over colorful creations at home, building your ultimate hobby hub, or adding a clever twist to your everyday style, the U1 makes it all effortless and fun.

Switch Filaments in 5 Seconds with SnapSwap™
Most printers rely on filament changers to switch between colors or materials, spending more time purging than actually printing. With four toolheads preloaded and pre-heated with their own filaments, the SnapSwap™ system lets the U1 switch by simply swapping the toolheads, cutting your wait time from approximately two minutes to only five seconds[2].

No More Purging for Color Change
Filament-changing printers "purge" by wasting perfectly good filament—pushing one color through the nozzle until the last trace of the old one is gone. The U1 doesn't play that game. It only purges the tiny amount of filament that's actually degraded by the time a new print job begins, or during flow-rate calibration, cutting waste by up to 80%[3] on every print.
Rock-Solid & Precise Locks
The U1 uses steel-ball kinematic couplings to click each print heat into perfect position, then locks it securely—no screws, no magnets, no extra motors. Locked fast, rock solid, tested over 1,000,000 swaps with zero failures.

Less Waste Means Serious Savings
So. Much. Waste. On other 3D printers, printing a multi-color model leaves behind a mountain of garbage—often wasting 3 or 4 times more material than what ends up in the actual model! U1 avoids the waste with smart tool swapping, saving filament, saving money, and even saving the environment.
How Much Can You Save in a Year?
* “Others” refers to 3D printers that use a filament changer to swap materials.
* Based on PLA filament at an average cost of $15/kg, with a printing frequency of one piece per week.
Pick Your Material Pairs
With four independent extruders, the U1 lets you mix and match materials freely, giving each part its own function, or making support removal a breeze with low-adhesion combos.
Mix Materials for Easy-to-Remove Supports
- PETG Support
- PVA Support
With 4 toolheads, U1 prints stable PETG components to support your creation safely, avoiding mid-print warping. These supports are easy to detach without damage, so you can skip tedious prying and keep your finished prints intact.
PVA is costly but necessary for some creations. U1's 4-toolhead system minimizes purges to little or zero, so you can pair PVA with other materials freely, reduce waste greatly, and save money dramatically!
Blend Rigid and Flexible Materials
- PETG+TPU
- PLA+TPU
With 4 individual extruders, you can match flexible TPU and rigid PETG together, print more creative artwork such as a 3D printed hand bag.
Smooth Print Starts with Smart Calibration
With four toolheads working at high speed, precision isn’t optional—it’s built in. The U1's compensation algorithms lock every toolhead in sync, dampen vibrations, dial in extrusion, and level out the build surface, so you get the smooth, dimensionally accurate results you’d expect from a top-tier single-head printer.
Toolhead Offset Calibration
U1 automatically aligns each toolhead with the main nozzle, holding offset under 0.04mm[4] to ensure sharp prints without vertical shifts.
Toolhead Offset Calibration
The U1 automatically aligns XYZ offsets between multiple toolheads, keeping offsets within 0.04mm[5] for sharp prints without vertical shifts.
Vibration Compensation for Consistent Prints
Input Shaping, aided by a precision accelerometer sensor, reduces vibrations caused by rapid directional changes by pre-processing movement commands to cancel out resonant frequencies. By adjusting acceleration profiles and introducing calculated delays, it prevents surface artifacts like ghosting or ripples, allowing the U1 to deliver clean edges, smooth walls, and sharp details even at high speeds.

Fine-tuned Extrusion for Exquisite Details
The U1 uses Pressure Advance to stay ahead of flow delays, especially during quick moves or sharp corners. It tweaks extrusion timing based on motion changes, so filament flows smoothly even when speeds shift. That means fewer blobs, less thinning, and crisp, consistent detail.

The First Layer Matters Too
The automatic mesh bed leveling delivers a flat, grippy first layer, setting the stage for every print.

Effortless Filament Management
The U1 comes equipped with a super-compact automatic filament system that holds up to four spools on standby. It handles everything from filament detection and loading, so you can print in vivid color, hassle-free.
- Auto-loading
- Backup Mode
- RFID Recognition
Auto-loading
No more threading, fiddling, or guesswork. Just hang your filament and let it roll.
Backup Mode
When Backup Mode is on, U1 automatically switches to a matching spool when one runs out, so you'll never stress over what to do with those almost-empty rolls.
RFID Recognition
U1 uses RFID to detect specs like color, type, and more for Snapmaker official filaments, no need to type anything in.
Manage Your Prints with Ease
Snapmaker Orca builds on Orca Slicer’s powerful engine and adds engineer-tested profiles for official materials and machine models. Paired with the Snapmaker App, you can start, monitor, and control your prints from anywhere—and even capture 2. time-lapse videos to replay your creation in motion. Easy print management is right at your fingertips.
- Snapmaker APP
- Snapmaker Orca
- 3.5-inch Touchscreen
Anomaly Detection and Alert
With a mix of over a dozen sensors and precision mechanics, the U1 automatically spots issues and guides you through quick fixes, ensuring smooth, successful prints every time.
Capture the Highlights, Skip the Messes
The built-in chamber camera isn’t just for time-lapses. Starting with an OTA firmware update planned for December 2025 [5], its AI will detect spaghetti and workspace obstructions and alert you in Snapmaker Orca or the app, helping you avoid wasted time and material.
CoreXY System with 500mm/s Speed
The U1 is built on a CoreXY motion system with lightweight, rigid carbon fiber X-axis rails, delivering speeds of up to 500mm/s and maintaining long-term precision across a 270 × 270 × 270mm work area.
How the U1 Is Built and Tested
Snapmaker machines are built for excellence, as our longtime users know very well. From careful assembly to rigorous lab testing, each unit is crafted for the reliability, consistency, and creative freedom you've come to expect.

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] This is a typical result from Snapmaker Lab tests and is for reference only.
[3] 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.
[4] This data was measured using clean nozzles. Calibrating with an unclean nozzle could lead to less accurate results.
[5] Detection capabilities will be enabled in December 2025 through an OTA firmware update.
[6] This data was obtained using Snapmaker ABS filament, under a printing temperature of 280°C.
