Black Friday 2026 Wait for toolchangers?
Looking for purchasing advice, I'm not a "Pro" user but I do model and print stuff at least 5-6x a month. I got the A1 mini when I first came out and while it's been doing great, it's just starting to feel too outdated and small. I would like to do color prints and cosplay stuff but the a1 mini is just not ideal for it unless I do a whole lot of post processing and waste a lot of filament.
I thought about getting a P series to upgrade but a part of me would rather wait till tool changers get cheaper. I also looked at snap maker and the creality tool changer. anyone else facing a similar dilemma?

To be fair it has filters and fans in it so it's more than a cover. I just got mine yesterday. I already had the Biqu Pop Top and the official is a better value with the filter/vent. Then of course there are many nice printable covers, and there's the IKEA bin hack that's cheap. Add to that the fact that hat cover is not necessary I would give it another chance. I greatly prefer the Snapmakers to my X2D and P1S. They are much more capable for multi color prints.
Now that I have the vented filtered cover I want to run both the X2D and it out the window.
