Hi everyone,

We’ve open-sourced the Snapmaker J1 Screen App, the Android touchscreen control application for the Snapmaker J1 dual-extruder IDEX 3D printer.

The repository includes the source code for the touchscreen application and related modules, with features including independent left/right extruder control, duplication, and mirror printing modes, Wi-Fi and USB file transfer, real-time machine status monitoring, remote control via HTTP API, and firmware OTA updates.

If you’re interested in exploring the project, you can find the source code and project documentation on GitHub:

Hi,

I’m actually thinking about giving it a try. But two questions:

  • how would I get this software, after successfully compiling it, on the physical printer?
  • Would it brick the printer if there is any error in an update?

Thanks for your patience. I’ll check with our engineering team and share more details when available. Best regards,
