If your printer comes with a microSD card, you donāt need to upgrade your firmware.
Please follow these steps to check if your printer is upgraded successfully: connect the printer to the computer -> open Snapmakerjs -> In the console section, enter M1005 -> check the result. If the result is the same as the following picture shows, the upgrade was successful.
After upgrade, the .bin file will be deleted from the USB Disk automatically.
Added limit switch for 3D printing.
After you turn on the laser or CNC using the touch screen and then go back to the home page, the laser or CNC will be turned off automatically.
When there is something wrong with the thermistor, the touch screen will keep showing the temperature instead of showing the reboot screen. It will help identify the problem you encounter.
Only products come with the USB Disk can upgrade the firmware.
After you upgrade the firmware, please go to Control > Home Axes every time you turn on the printer so that the limit switch recognizes where the work area is.
Bug fixed for controllers in the April batch and later.
Caution:
If you upgrade the firmware to this version, please upgrade Snapmakerjs to Version 2.3.2 or above. If you only upgrade the firmware without upgrading the software, the software will have trouble recognizing the laser engraving module.

Change Log:
added Enclosure Door check (only for laser).
bug-fixed for calibration.
bug-fixed when stopping a print.
bug-fixed for the USB disk read error when the machine is printing.
basic - works with the V1.0 Enclosure or without an enclosure (without door check function)
Enclosure - works with the V1.1 Enclosure (with door check function)
Itās ok to re-upgrade your machine if you use the wrong version. If you choose the Enclosure version but you donāt have the V1.1 enclosure, the 3D printer and CNC carver can still work properly. However, the laser module will not start engraving after you choose a g-code file.
Note:
Only products that come with the USB Disk can upgrade the firmware.
You can check the About page for the firmware version after the upgrade.

Change Log:
Improved user experience regarding the enclosure Door Detection feature. In V2.6, you had to select the correct .bin file according to the version of your enclosure. With the firmware V2.7 and Snapmakerjs V2.5.0, you donāt need to select between .bin files.Instead, you can choose to use the Door Detection feature or not in Snapmakerjs.

Fixed the bug that some printers fail to upgrade the firmware using the provided USB Disk. If you have run into the USB Disk issue, please format it and make sure its file system is FAT32 before upgrading the firmware.
Fixed the bug that the printer doesnāt follow commands in the jog mode after the print is stopped on the touchscreen.
Fixed the bug that the printer doesnāt lock the slider of the Z axis, which leads to the X axis falling when the printer is not printing.

Change Log:
Workspace > Laser: power accepts setting of 0.1%. For the 1600mW laser module, a smaller power granularity can be used for focusing. For example, You can use 0.5% of 1600mW for focusing. This prevents the laser from burning the material when focusing.
Optimized user experience of the V1.1 enclosure. After opening the door detection switch, weak light focusing can be used even when the door is opened.
Bugfixes: deletes the .bin file when the upgrade is successful.
Added support to Z-Axis Extension Module. When you attach the Z-Axis Extension Module to your printer, upgrade the firmware to this version. Reconnect Snapmakerjs to the printer. Enter āM1025 M1ā in the console and press āEnterā. When the software replies āokā, your printer is upgraded successfully.
When you want to use the original linear module, enter āM1025 M0ā in the console and press āEnterā. When the software replies āokā, your printer can only print items as tall as 125 mm.
Also, you need to upgrade your software to the latest version and change the settings of the machine to generate G-codes for taller models.
