I had exactly the same thoughts. But then I switched to Snapmaker Orca because I can also access my PI via Safari. When it comes to functions that are different, I haven’t come up with anything great apart from the start code. What I am definitely missing is the connection to the device, the control of the bed temperature for inside and outside separately and as a whole (incl. bed leveling graph). I also don’t understand why both nozzles are heated when I’m only printing with one and multi-material is switched off.I would also be interested to know what differences you have noticed.

the start of print purge wastes bed space so whats a good start up gcode to make the nozzles purge between the bed and wipe pad? this should be standard
I think in process parameters under “multimaterial” → “ooze prevention” you could enter a large value, e.g. -200 if pla is selected in the unused extruder and then the extruder that is unused wont heat up.
Servus.
It has been a year. I hope there is still a plan to build the functionality of wifi connection into Snapmaker Orca, eliminating the need for Luban as an awkward workaround.
In Cura Slicer, the prime tower is cylindrical. In my experience, this creates a stable tower, less likely to be knocked over. Also, in Cura, the two materials are primed in separate concentric walls, ensuring that materials that are not compatible, like PLA and PETG, are printed each on top of their own type, while still building a stable column.

I’ve created a couple of topics here detailing my difficulties in making multicolored prints with this program – one in terms of its failure to accommodate overlapping objects, and another for its not being able to figure out that it shouldn’t try to put supports for one object inside of another object. Maybe there’s some simple thing I’m not understanding – but if so, please not only tell me what that is, but can we also make it more foolproof?
“Skip” function- allow user to skip bad items. This is not as critical as Bambu were you fill the plate to reduce per unit poop, but sometimes I print multiples to improve efficiency.
Filament synchronization! This MUST be a feature of any multi-color printer slicer program! Or just integrate the U1 into Bambu Studio, then you won’t have to worry about the software… because they’ve got the software technology down!
Yes. We have shared a beta version of the J1 firmware that supports “Direct Machine Connection support for Snapmaker Orca”. We aim to release the stable version by the end of this month.
Good day - I wonder whether the Snapmaker Team could give us an update a- of the timeline concerning new version and b- what/which functions will be amended and/or added ?
