I’ve had my U1 for a week now and there are a couple things that are bugging me. The video feed going to sleep, needs to be woke up every so often. Effects the camera in Fluidd too. Makes it a real pain when checking progress from somewhere else in the house. The filament management seems somewhat…

See the screener here. first, my U1 colors, second after having opened the 3mf as a project (this is important, don’t “import”, but open as project), see the different colors, then simply switch to the U1 printer again and the origi nal colors…

As a long user of snapmaker products and software: do not expect much software changes from now on. That they are aware of things will not result in implementation. Just shortly from my experience.

Yep, this did not work for me. I am on the latest version of official Snorca… Open Project… Misc (project) Bambu Printer is loaded… File loads with multiple plates as it should… Rando filament from the project appear… Click Printer to select my U1… My loaded filament on the U1 is not selectabl…

This post made a left turn, I was stating why I was thinking of going to the Paxx12 Extended firmware & was looking for feedback from those that have went that route. Maybe I could have worded the original post better. Still there has been some good information here.
