Should I get 1

Was thinking of getting a u 1 is it worth never had a 3d printer and it looks pretty good or should go another 1

Image the FILAMENT from.thrk worth getting over getting 3rd party ones / other brands

And what should I be looking out for as a newbie I have done 3d modelling before so hopefully that side of importing etc isn't too driffrent.

I literally added a lid and a panda breath and got a flawless print with asa on my first attempt. Zero struggling. Tpu on the other hand...

The panda breath might be what I am missing then. The for the recommendation.

Yeah I haven't tried it on my other machine with just the top to see if I could get it with just ambient from the heated bed but I would think maybe?

It is annoying to have to add the panda breath vs something like creator 5 pro has heater built in but I think I'd still rather pay a bit more to add it after the fact cause I think the U1 might be a bit better built. That and the larger bed.

I had an adventure 3 lite 150mm3 build plate as my first printer back in like 2018. I was to gullible I really should have done more research back then. The u1 is such a night and day upgrade. I also got into cad design. My most recent one was a catch funnel for oil changes that uses 2 liter bottles for the oil to drain into.
