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

[Tool] Bambu Lab to Snapmaker U1 .3mf Converter - Keep your color painting! - U1 Toolchanger - Snapmaker: where creation happens

image
image1467×916 39.9 KB

Hey Snapmaker community !

I’ve built a free web tool that converts Bambu Lab .3mf projects to Snapmaker U1 format, preserving your multi-color painting work.

Link: https://bl2u1.nbn.cat

Off-line/self hosted version: GitHub - josuanbn/bl2u1: Bambulab Studio to Snapmaker Orca (for the U1) converter · GitHub

Note for experienced users: If you already understand the difference between importing geometry vs. opening a Bambu Lab project file directly (and the potential G-code issues), this tool is primarily a convenience for you. The main benefit is that it loads the model with the original color mapping intact, rather than defaulting to whatever filaments you currently have active in Snapmaker Orca.

What it does:

  • Converts Bambu Lab/Bambu Studio .3mf files to Snapmaker U1 compatible format

  • Applies the 0.20mm Standard print profile

  • Remaps colors and filament types to U1 compatible profiles

  • Automatically enables Tree Supports (auto) if the original model has supports enabled

  • Supports up to 4 filaments/colors

How to use:

  1. Upload your Bambu Lab .3mf file

  2. Adjust filament colors and types if needed

  3. Click “Convert and Download”

  4. Open the converted file in Snapmaker Orca for final slicing

Hope this helps someone else in the community!

Feedback and suggestions are welcome.
