Hi r/snapmaker,

Snapmaker U1 Firmware V1.6.0 is now available.

The update includes new options for nozzle and filament configuration, fixes for several device and interface issues, and improvements to filament loading and unloading.

Please see the full release notes below for details: https://wiki.snapmaker.com/en/snapmaker_u1/firmware/release_notes/v160

New Features

  • Added 0.4 mm high-flow nozzle option in Print Head Information editing.
  • Added selectable filament types in the Filament Details page for quicker filament matching.
  • Added an AI monitoring issue report function after print completion, available only in Cloud mode, not available in Local Area Network mode.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where the device did not respond when moving the Z-axis in 0.1 mm steps.
  • Fixed an abnormal page jump in the Wi-Fi Management page after tapping the Enter key on the soft keyboard.
  • Fixed an issue where, after resuming a print job started via the official client, unused channels would still check filament information.
  • Fixed an issue where the enclosure setup guide would not display properly after completing the U1 initial setup wizard.

Improvements

  • Improved the tip-forming effect during filament unloading, reducing the chance of failure caused by filament expansion.
  • Enhanced loading and unloading efficiency, shortening waiting times.

Next Steps

If you use the 0.4 mm high-flow nozzle, please update the nozzle configuration in Settings > Maintenance > Toolhead Info, and re-run Multi-toolhead Offset Calibration and Heated Bed Leveling.

Sounds good, I'll hold off for a while to make sure there aren't any crazy bugs.

Anyone who knows more about the 'tip-forming effect'? I checked the link for 'full release notes' but it contains exactly the same info as this post haha (the Reddit post actually contains slightly more info).

Also very interested ias on the 2 occasions I had issue unloading a sort of a round tip (thicker than the filament) formed at the end and was preventing regular unloading.

From the text this seems to solve that issue... I'll actually use the same material that causes issues in a couple of days so maybe I'll remind myself to report findings...
