U1 Top-Cover Mod - U1 Toolchanger - Snapmaker: where creation happens
-
I designed a more aesthetically pleasing top cover for the U1. You can customize the color scheme, personalize your own nameplate, and it features a magnetic flip-open lid.
-
It mainly uses one type of self-tapping screw for easy installation, though the print time is quite long—it took me a whole week!!

U1 Full-Spectrum Fork Gradient Generator Tool - U1 Tool Changer - Snapmaker: Where Creation Happens
Inspired by a post I saw on the Snapmaker subreddit the other day, I created a web app you can use to create custom color gradients for use with the Full-Spectrum Snapmaker Orca fork.
It lets you make smooth gradients using any kind of filament, to get results similar to ones you could get with rainbow filament (but with more control, as you can specify the exact start and end colors and speed). You can interpolate between as many colors as you like, and also use color mixes containing multiple filaments as nodes on the gradient.
If anyone would like to test it and give any feedback on how it works with real-life prints, that would be great, as I don’t have a U1 (only a single-color printer).
Here’s the link: https://gradients.garden
Hope this is useful to someone!
EDIT: You can now search for a filament name to import its color directly, courtesy of the colorimetry data from filamentcolors.xyz
