As a new Snapmaker user, I would like to know how to update my original Snapmaker (currently running V1.60) to the latest PAXX firmware (V1.52 or V1.60). Before purchasing the Snapmaker, I used a Bambu Lab Mini printer and still have a large supply of Bambu Lab filaments. Would you recommend upgra…

[image] Mickey13: What additional features would I gain by using the PAXX firmware There’s enough information in the Paxx thread for you to work that out, especially if you follow the link to the documentation on GitHub. It makes no sense to repeat it here. I’ve used Paxx with no issues wha…

As a new user of the U1 I would not move over to the extended FW right away, but get acquainted with the Snorca Slicer. Eventually you can even use the vanilla Orca.

[image] CrazyIvan: Paxx is the only means you have to do it. Actually, that might not be true. There is another project which confers the user options to add their pick of firmware modules, and OpenRFID might be a module (but don’t quote me). What I’m saying is by open-sourcing the firmware…

While I understand your desire, I strongly doubt Snapmaker is going to be supporting their direct competition’s filament any time soon. I have been wrong in the past. There is a very simple solution to your request, though. You can just put it in as Generic Filament. You don’t need an RFID to use t…

Isn’t 1.5 the latest? or was there an immedeat 1.5.1 released?

1.5.0 caused problems with Z calibration. There has been 1.5.1 and 1.5.2 since then. 1.6.0 is due for release imminently.
