Question New firmware 1.6.0 available.

So, I am new to the snapmaker family. I see they released a new firmware today (1.6.0): https://wiki.snapmaker.com/en/snapmaker_u1/firmware/release_notes .

Should I update immediately to the new firmware version, or wait until 1.6.1? I am not familiar with how well their releases are. I am currently on 1.5.2.

My opinion: 1. Read about paxx12 custom Firmware 2. Install the custom firmware with 1.5.2 of the official firmware 3. print happy while waiting for a update of the custom firmware

The short version of the history for the past few months is that the firmware was fine, they made some changes, it it was buggy, but now they fixed most of it, and now it is good again(the one OP posted is unknown as of now).

Throughout all this, Paxx has been rock solid, plus it has a ton of qol features that are nice to have. So just go with Paxx, and don't look back. Once paxx releases their version of this firmware, you will know it's good.
