SnapMaker U1 UnBoxing - YIPPEE!!!!

[Kurt The 3D Printer GUY!!]

OK Folks - you better be Ready - and have your Seatbelts TIGHT - it's going to be a WILD RIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now - who is this CRAZY Guy - happy to have a new printer???

But - let's jump forward in the Unboxing for a Moment - only cause once I discovered this - I was like - OUCH - I Might have Damaged it in trying to Unbox and Move it! Will admit - I did NOT look at the whole Website to TRULY Know Everything about this printer before I bought it - otherwise - I would have KNOWN this was the Case! Check out the Underside:

Yup - it's Precariously Perched...

Let's keep going!  First - sadly - box was Damaged:

But - I proceeded forwards. Opening the top - Interesting packing and exposure of documents:

Pull them out and continue:

Quick check of Docs:

Finally - pull it out of Box - UGH - I really needed another humanoid help - but, I ain't got it...

Remove the bubble wrap tubes and keep going...

I love the interesting packaging - with a smaller box inside the top. Now, continue to Unwrap this BadBoy!

Finally - gotta be Serious - and get it up off the Floor! Ugh - my back is Yelling at me - but, I got it up on my Cart...

And - yeah - all that kind of special packing tape on a nest on top. 

Now it's time to Expose the Beast within the Packaging...

Nice view of the front...

Wait - let's open up that Door:

What is that JUNK in there??? Let's remove it - and get a good look:

Now that is a Big Arse bag of Dessicant!!!!

OK - it's Late - I'm overdue for Dinner...

Get ready for Part II...

Nice K.

Those screws on the tool head. - think they secure for shipping gave me a few problems. Me being stupid yes. Retightened them to much.

Also what do you think of the x y calibration - hitting the tool head against the frame.

I will keep you posted - and may do Unboxing Part II right here shortly...

Just an additional note...

All the initial Unboxing that I posted last night - I did ALL of that without looking at ANY Instructions. But, tonight I knew things would Probably get more complicated - especially with Potential assembly. Now I'm on the official Wiki Video - YEAH - good thing I Stopped when I did - and then went to the Video...

Am still taking pics as I go along - will do a follow-up unboxing phase 2 for sure.

DUDE - it's KILLING ME! Even has me bending over - to unscrew all these screws - so, yeah - my back is now Killing me - and it's a LONG WAY Until I can print - I did NOT REALIZE there would be SO MUCH Assembly Involved!!!! 

Just SHOOT Me Now...

Roots Pot will NOT be my 1st, nor 2nd - nor 10th print. I got plans in mind - including producing parts for Elegoo printer recirculation - as I realized I could find do the FUN Experiment that I wanted to do a while ago - make a Flexible Tube - like Big and Springy - with TPU and PLA Supports - so I am STOKED to try that!

But, it may not be till Sunday until I can produce ANY Real Prints...

I also hope that the machine does NOT have a problem - because STUPID FEDEX Delivered it on the floor SIDEWAYS in my building! Ugh...

What you think about printing materials with fillers in it? I’ve held back a bit. Just hoping they get popular enough for a lot of third part add-ons. Want and E3D nozzle for mine.
