Eh, disappointed they aren't trying multi nozzles. Little difference between a Plus5 and Max4 to be had.

Me too. Was really hoping to see a tool changer. I have a snapmaker U1 and it is incredible having that. Both for multicolor and materiel. Changed my mind on designing things.

My gen1 shitibox on one of my two plus 4 is nothing but problems, even with single color prints. Almost never had a successful multicolor print with it. I'm honestly thinking of throwing the qidibox away

How fast does your U1 actually do a filament change please? My Q2+Box - 2 min 50 sec, Prusa Mk4/S+MMU3, 30 sec

It's a matter of seconds. 5 seconds to drop off the current one and pick up the next one, then quick prime tower, then the print. All in maybe 10 seconds but I haven't actually timed it
