I’m probably asking the wrong question: Since the A1 hotend is stainless steel, which I’ve read conducts heat much worse than the X1’s hardened steel, getting to an apples-to-apples comparison won’t be as straightforward as I first thought. What I should have titled this post is: “Can the A1 print faster than the X1 and still maintain great print quality?” because that’s what I really care about and want to know. The watts was just my first attempt to answer the question objectively. So, I’m going to change the title now to that, because maybe someone who owns both may have done such a comparison.
