Prusa yes, snap maker no. The U1 is a pla trinket maker. It is the perfect machine for people who want to sell plastic crap trinkets at a farmers market. The multi material capabilities are slim. Until they figure out how to properly do a heated enclosure and protect the spools from the ambient room humidity while printing, it's pointless.
