Is it possible to add preset amounts for numbers on the touchscreen. For extruder and bed temp. And fan speed And work speed. Or even a keypad where we can enter our own. The slider is quite annoying

i agree the slider is a little difficult to use for a precise input.
I would like to see LED controls on the menu and also during a print. I have my printer in my room so i use â M355 S0 â in my start Gcode but i would rather be able to see my print clearly and then turn off the LED light when im going to go to sleep.
M300 support would be nice but iâm not sure if the printer has a speaker.
I could probably make those sorts of changes myself if the firmware was open source or if the Config files could be released.

I entirely agree with you!

Could we also eliminate having to click âGot itâ on the display EVERY TIME we change filament? Yes I fully realize that the extruder will move. One time acknowledging that dialog would be enough.

Another firmware thing id like to see is for the settings i change mid print to stay where i set them. I realized the fan speed was too high for my PETG so i just went through the menu to change it and it went right back at the next layer. speed settings and heated bed settings work just fine but the hotend temp and fan speed keep resetting after every layer.

I can only agree with the previous speaker.
There is an urgent need for action to ensure that settings made during printing remain.

I agree about the number pad.
Here is another suggestionâŚ
Layer count or Z axes travel. I have enjoyed this feature in other printers. Often percentage complete is not accurate. Displaying layer count, or height / Z axes travel can be very informative to the user.
Thanks,
Ken

it would also be really nice if the printer could recognize when a print is being started via a program like PronterFace. I use it all the time instead of moving the USB drive back and forth all the time but it would be nice if i could change the z offset during a print from pronterface.
The UI for printing does not come up during prints started through USB
Correct me if I am wrong, but doesnât Pronterface send the file gcode for gcode to the printer? In that case the printer UI is circumvented completely, and Snapmaker could not do anything about that even if they tried.
yes but my creality printers were able to handle changes made mid print. it would be cool if snapmaker could do it like creality did
Only make me click âGot itâ once instead of every time I click load or unload. Seriously annoying. I already know the extruder will moveâŚ

Hooray, german language! Thanks Snapmaker!
Now add
- a ânever show this message againâ switch to each warning message,
- some user-defineable temperature preset buttons as suggested above,
- manual setting of nozzle size as Jade showed a while ago (unless that is implemented by now?)
- manual correction of the xy autoleveling,
- z moves down to z=0 instead of z=5 to easily allow manual z level fine tuning with the bed knobs and the card you supply with the printer,
- a possibility to manually enter the glass bed thickness which then allows us using our own buildplates and
- a simple command line to enter Gcode commands into the printer via Touchscreen and read the response from Marlin as the Duet board features (which then should allow changing Marlin firmware settings permanently for more sophisticated user interaction)
and then I am happy 
In case anyone wonders why I do not chime in when it comes to remembering temperature: I did not find a case yet when this happens that is not caused by the gcode of the file to be printed, and IMO that one always needs to override manual settings. Otherwise you would need some really complex logic to cover all cases when or if the print file should be followed or not. Have fun programming such a thingâŚ

is anyone else having tool change issues with the new firmware?
T0 stays where it was while T1 moves right up against it and then they both move back and forth on the y axis.
YES to all the avove!
Received my J1 2 days ago and I love the build quality of it. If Snapmaker would add those features it would be an even more impressive machine.
Or finally RELEASE THE FIRMWARE! As promised on Kickstarter and required by Marlin. Whatâs stopping you? What?

I would have preferred to leave the update. Since then, nothing has worked on my J1. Itâs stuck in an endless loop where it wants to install the update again and again. Once it has done that and I want to click on something, it tells me that the app has been stopped. If I confirm this, it starts the update again from the beginning.
I havenât received an answer from support for days, although I have written to them several times.
Unfortunately, I have also noticed a few things with the device that cannot be left as they are
- bad feeding of the filament, it is a bit better if the filament is not fed through the tubes.
- When the print heads are moved quickly, the carriage rattles.
I am really disappointed with a device in this price range.
German:
Ich hätte das Update lieber gelassen. Seither geht bei meinem J1 garnichts mehr. Hängt in einer Endlosschleife wo er immer wieder das Update einspielen mÜchte. Hat er das gemacht und ich mÜchte etwas anklicken, kommt die Meldung das die APP gestopt wurde. Bestätige ich dies, fängt er wieder von vorne an das Update einzuspielen.
Vom Support bekomme ich seit Tagen keine Antwort, obwohl ich schon mehrmals angeschrieben habe.
Leider habe ich auch beim Gerät einiges festgestellt, dass man so nicht lassen kann
- schlechter Einzug vom Filament, es ist etwas besser, wenn das Filament nicht durch die Schläuche gefßhrt wird.
- wenn die DruckkĂśpfe schnell bewegt werden, rattert der Schlitten
Bin wirklich enttäuscht bei einem Gerät dieser Preisklasse.
I got that rattle problem too
Bad feeling
I hope for your sake that support will get back to you soon.
Unfortunately, the response time from Snapmaker support is really bad.
I have already fixed both problems.
Please check the correct guidance of the bridge, in addition, check which bearings are installed, laterally the Y-bearings should be visible.
If they are green, they are the better ones, if they should be Schwaz, they are the old ones that also gave me trouble.
For the retraction difficulties, there is already also a solution, should that not be enough, comes soon a tutorial, or solution.
German:
Ich hoffe fĂźr dich, dass der Support sich bald meldet.
Leider ist die Reaktionszeit vom Snapmaker Support echt Ăźbel.
Ich habe beide Probleme bereits behoben.
Bitte ßberprßfe die korrekte Fßhrung der Brßcke, zusätzlich, prßfe welche Lager verbaut sind, seitlich sollten die Y-Lager zu sehen sein.
Wenn sie GrĂźn sind, sind es die besseren, sollten sie Schwaz sein, sind es die alten, die auch bei mir Ărger gemacht haben.
Fßr die Einzugsschwierigkeiten gibt es bereits auch eine LÜsung, sollte das nicht reichen, kommt demnächst eine Anleitung, bzw. LÜsung.
Thank you for the answer.
Do you also have a tip regarding the infinite loop?
Or a way to change the version J1_V2.4.7_20230224 in such a way that you can get it over V 2.4.8?
German:
Danke fĂźr die Antwort.
Hast du auch einen Tip bezĂźglich der Endlosschleife?
Oder eine MÜglichkeit die Version J1_V2.4.7_20230224 so zu verändern, dass man sie ßber die V 2.4.8 drßber bekommt?
