So I apologize ahead of time for the folks that don’t like these threads… But I have a likely simple question that I can’t find the answer too…
The U1 is my first printer not running Bambu Studio, in Bambu Studio there is a button that syncs the filament from the machine. Snapmaker Orca doesn’t do this right?
I have to load the colors from the printer into Snapmaker Orca manually?
Right click the preset, edit the preset to be the filament from the printer and that’s it?
It seems easy enough but I’m spoiled… It would be nice to have a simple “sync” button.
Thank you very much! I just found this out… I’m telling you I was spoiled by the sync button, and totally missed the simple drop down option. Simple indeed!
Right! I know Bambu Studio likes to get bashed by the Orca purists out there, but it has some great features like that “sync” button. I hope we get it for Snorca too.
Will I use my P1S as much as I used to? NOPE! Do I still love it? Yep! I just can’t stand the AMS system in general.
That said, I’m not gonna start bashing the entire Bambu ecosystem… it’s quite possible they’re been doing this long enough to have some good ideas and implementations
Thank you so much for telling the feature is available in SnOrca. I have the custom firmware and using its RFID identidication feature. Seems the sync doesn’t work very well. Only Snapmaker filaments are sync, those open sourced ones don’t.
Thank you so much for your reply. I try both using Generic system profile, for example, Generic PLA (maybe in NFC tag, we assign PLA Basic, and custom filament profile. Both doesn’t work for the RFID tag spools except for those I inputed in the machine.
Like other vendors, the official firmware only recognizes Snapmaker NFC tags, but I’ve been told the upcoming open-source build will almost certainly open up third-party/custom filament e-label support. Once it’s open you should be able to use your own NFC stickers to manage personal spools.
has you actually tested if it fully unlocks the third-party RFID support yet? I’ve got a mountain of generic PLA I’d love to slap tags on, but I’m not sure if I need to flash the custom firmware or if the official one handles it now?
Regards, Gar
Since I have not done that, I am curious about whether it was required to make third-party RFID functional at all with the new firmware. As I have got a lot of PLA filament material, it would be quite nice to put tags on them. Not sure whether there is any need for custom firmware, or it occurs automatically.
Exactly the same question that interests me as well. It would be nice if tagging filaments with RFID does not require any additional actions from me. Have you found out if the new firmware supports third-party tags?
It is exactly what I need. There is a lot of filament material without any brands, and the RFID tags will help to organize everything. Let’s hope that there will be no need for flashing it.
I use the PAXX FW so can’t be 100% but AFAIK the official FW only supports snapmaker RFID, hence PAXX has a option to choose between 4 or 5 different RFID tag options
