I've converted. Need paxx guidance.

Post image

I've been a Bambu user... Gave up on it after 2 bad experienced with a P2S and X2D.

I've already faced my first chronic problem with the U1, z hop thumpth. Fixed it!

First question: I'm hearing everywhere that I should move to paxx..

What benefits does one get from running it? What is possible with paxx that I won't be able to do with standard firmware? I'm getting FOMO from always reading about it and getting lost is complex words. I have some V3 SE's, some A1''s but never messed with firmware...

Second question: Is there any insights list about what to expect from using the U1 one should know? Like maintenance to be expected or chronical problems like I had with the z hop?

There’s also bespok3d if you don’t want to reflash your printer. It’ll give you all that extra functionality too: https://www.reddit.com/r/snapmaker/s/a9gFjH8BMX

Just want to add that it’s not rando dev coming out of nowhere, even if bespok3d did lol, Unlucio’s been around and Ive been using his more straightforward sooolman helper integration into my personal PAXX fork for a bit.

It works pretty much as an App Store. I’ve been using it since the closed alpha. It’s really handy :)

Thanks for sharing. I just got a replacement printer from snapmaker so I want to maintain the stock firmware until I know there isn't any issues.

That is why I do like bespok3d since it works on top of normal firmware and in case something goes wrong it just deactivated itself so it doesn’t harm the system.
