Our verdict on each
BIQU
BIQU suits first time buyers who want an FDM or resin printer without a large outlay, at an entry price of €160.95. The trade-off is colour, as multi colour is no, so prints stay single material and the 1 year warranty is the main cover.
Snapmaker US
For home makers pursuing multicolor models, Snapmaker US is the United States store for Snapmaker toolchanger 3D printers, filament and modules. It combines U1 multicolor printing with Artisan Premium 3-in-1 3D printing, laser and CNC capability for varied home workshops.

Pros and cons
BIQU
Pros
- The €160.95 entry price sits under the €167.73 lower quartile of the category, so entry costs less than most of the field.
- Both an FDM and a resin printer in fdm printer and resin printer, where Sovol Technology lists fdm printer only.
- Print speed of 100 mm/s mm per second, a useful figure for the same small part run over and over.
Cons
- Multi colour is no, so a part that mixes filaments needs a second job or hand finishing afterwards.
- Build size of 270 mm ranks 20 of 23, under the 390 mm median across the site.
- Support runs on email, help centre and community, which leaves out phone help for faults you would rather talk through.
Snapmaker US
Pros
- Offers U1 toolchanger printing for multicolor and multimaterial models
- Sells Artisan Premium 3-in-1 system for 3D printing, laser and CNC work
- Stocks SnapSpeed PLA filament, hot ends, laser and rotary modules

- Operates as a United States store with domestic shipping focus
Who each suits
BIQU
Who it suits
- First time buyers who want filament and resin in fdm printer and resin printer without a large outlay.

Snapmaker US
Who it suits
- Home creators exploring multicolor and multimaterial printing

Questions about each
BIQU
What does a BIQU printer cost to start with?+
The lowest listed printer is €160.95, which sits under the €167.73 lower quartile of the category, where the median sits at €262.21. That figure is a one-off hardware purchase price, not a rate that renews, so there is no second payment to plan for.
What kinds of printers does BIQU sell?+
The catalogue covers fdm printer and resin printer, so filament and resin sit under one brand and you can move between the two technologies. That is a wider split than Sovol Technology, whose range is fdm printer, and different again from Farnell at fdm printer and 3d scanner.
Snapmaker US
What does Snapmaker US sell?+
Snapmaker US sells Snapmaker 3D printers with filament, modules and accessories for home workshops. The range includes multicolor toolchanger printers and 3-in-1 machines alongside hot ends, laser units and rotary attachments.

What is the U1 toolchanger printer?+
