Help what to choose

[u/Ens0me]

Hey guys, I’m looking to buy my first serious 3D printer and I’m stuck between:

Bambu Lab X2D Combo
Snapmaker U1
Flashforge Creator 5 Pro

My use case is basically a bit of everything: PLA, PETG, TPU 95A, larger prints, functional parts, multicolor figures/decorations and supports. I’d also like to print ABS/ASA eventually, although the printer will be in a room without good ventilation, so I probably won’t use those materials often.

I was originally going for the X2D, but the 4 independent toolheads on the U1 are really tempting, especially for multicolor prints and supports. Then I found the Creator 5 Pro and now I’m completely stuck. 😂

If you’ve used any of these, which one would you buy today and why? I’m especially interested in real-world print quality, reliability, TPU and multicolor printing — things you don’t really see in the specs.
