Firmware Update 1.1.0 Summary - January 26, 2026

This update brings functional improvements, bug fixes, and noticeable optimizations for print quality, usability, and reliability.

:brain: Intelligent Features & Diagnostics

  • Enhanced AI Defect Detection
    The AI defect detection has been revised to significantly reduce false alarms (false positives).

  • QR Codes in Error Messages
    Certain error messages now include QR codes that directly link to official troubleshooting guides – faster problem resolution without searching.

:printer: Print Quality & Mechanics

  • Increased Z-Axis Motor Power
    Z-axis motor current parameters have been adjusted, providing more torque. This resolves quality issues caused by weak Z-axis movements.

  • Selective Flow Calibration
    Flow calibration can now be performed individually per toolhead. Previously calibrated toolheads do not need to be recalibrated → saves preparation time.

:thread: Filament & Material Handling

  • New RFID Filament Types Supported
    Additional official RFID filaments are now recognized.

  • New Medium Sensitivity Level for Filament Tangle Detection
    Tangle detection now offers a medium sensitivity level between “too sensitive” and “too slow.”

:wind_face: Cooling & Noise

  • Optimized Fan Control
    The logic for cooling fans has been improved to reduce unnecessary noise from inactive toolheads during printing.

:stopwatch: Print Time Calculation & Display

  • Accurate Print Time Display
    The print time shown on the completion screen now reflects the actual print time, with pauses no longer included.

:desktop_computer: User Interface & Comfort

  • Improved Storage Space Display
    Enhanced UI presentation for clearer management of available storage.

  • Auto-Refill Enabled by Default
    After the firmware update, Auto-Refill is automatically enabled (can still be changed as needed).

:lady_beetle: Bug Fixes

  • Prevented Firmware Crashes when the start G-code did not include a layer count.

  • Fixed Bug for Unexpected Nozzle Temperature Changes during pre-extrusion.
