Our verdict
The X1 Carbon is a $1,199 enclosed machine with a bed that reaches 110°C and a hotend that reaches 300°C — which means it prints 10 of our 10 materials clean and none are off the table. The enclosure is the headline: ABS and ASA print without a draft shield, and high-temp materials get the still air they need.
Carbon-fiber filaments are a load-and-go affair — the hardened nozzle is stock, so PLA-CF and PETG-CF carry no asterisk here. Multi-color is on the table via AMS (optional add-on).
