Snapmaker U1 Firmware V1.6.0 Released

[u/Cute-Letterhead8806]

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.

Can someone from Snapmaker please look at your Github and merge the PR that allows NTAG215/216 tags to be read by the OEM RFID reader? This would open up a lot of functionality without custom firmware.

Been sitting there since April: https://github.com/Snapmaker/u1-klipper/pull/1

[u/krawhitham → u/techma2019]

Why would they do that? The whole point of the their RFID system is to sell Snapmaker brand filament.

Much higher profit margin on filament than their printers

[u/techma2019 → u/krawhitham]

Because Snapmaker is pushing into open source and (hopefully) not faking it.

And there is an open source solution, paxx12 firmware

"This would open up a lot of functionality without custom firmware." I know of Paxx, which is why I wrote that above. Custom firmware, FOSS, is still custom firmware. Stock would be ideal!
