U1 Firmware Release Notes

When using firmware V1.3.0 or above, it is recommended to use it with Snapmaker Orca V2.3.1 (or above), or Snapmaker App V2.3.2 (or above).

New Features

1. Added support for multiple nozzle diameters (0.2mm / 0.4mm / 0.6mm / 0.8mm).

Nozzle information is now editable. On the touchscreen, navigate to Settings > Maintenance > Toolhead Info > Modify the corresponding nozzle diameter > Save.

After replacing the nozzle, please perform Multi-toolhead Offset Calibration and Heated Bed Leveling to ensure print accuracy.

1. Added nozzle usage rules. To prevent printing anomalies caused by improper configuration of different nozzles, the following safety restrictions are included:

• Auto-refill is prohibited between nozzles of different diameters.
• The nozzle diameter specified in the G-code file cannot be mapped to the toolhead with a different diameter nozzle.

1. Enhanced network management, supporting connection to hidden SSID networks.

Bug Fixes

1. Fixed an issue where the "Unedited Filament" error message persisted.

2. Optimized the communication protocol in Cloud Mode to resolve control issues caused by weak network environments. For example, some users encountered situations such as receiving unexpected parameter configuration commands during printing or experiencing delays in receiving print tasks.

Improvements

1. Updated the AI defect detection model.

2. Optimized Pogo Pin continuity detection logic to prevent false detections from pausing print tasks.

3. Improved extrusion flow calibration and updated built-in parameters.

Firmware V1.2.0 and above requires Snapmaker Orca V2.2.4 (or above) or Snapmaker App V2.2.3 (or above).

New Features

• Added "Skip Objects" feature on the screen. To use it, first enable it in Snapmaker Orca under: Process > Global > Others > G-code output > Exclude objects.
• Added Ethernet connection feature. After inserting a USB to Ethernet adapter and connecting an Ethernet cable, the device will prioritize using Ethernet for a more stable network connection.
• Added Root access. Once enabled, users can access the device via SSH for advanced control and management.

Bug Fixes

• Implemented a DNS cache mechanism to avoid frequent repeated domain name resolutions.

Improvements

• Updated material color options to support a wider range of colors.
• Enhanced the defect detection model to reduce false positives and missed detections for spaghetti defects, and improved the detection of static foreign objects on the bed.
• When exporting logs, "Export AI monitoring photos" will be checked by default to facilitate troubleshooting of AI monitoring-related issues (users can uncheck it as needed).
• Added a reminder for bed temperature set to 0°C in the G-code file to prevent printing failures.
• Wi-Fi connection now supports WPA3 encryption.

Firmware V1.1.1 and above requires Snapmaker Orca V2.2.4 (or above) or Snapmaker App V2.2.3 (or above).

New Features

• Added heated bed flatness deviation detection. When abnormal unevenness is detected, the system will guide users through manual leveling to improve first-layer quality.
• Added a new log export path. Logs can now be exported to the logs folder within the Fluidd G-code directory.
• Added new filament types, including Snapmaker PETG HF, Snapmaker TPU 95A HF, Generic PETG HF, and Generic TPU 95A HF. Snapmaker PETG HF and Snapmaker TPU 95A HF will be available in the official online store in a future update.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where overall print time increased due to constrained motion-control parameters after extrusion flow calibration.
• Fixed an issue where the toolhead was incorrectly detected as loaded during a filament runout pause.

Improvements

• Updated the firmware’s built-in filament parameters.
• Improved print continuity when resuming after a pause.
• Improved alert dialog display. The screen now wakes automatically and stays on when an alert appears.
• Optimized the manual print resume workflow after filament runout. Material information no longer needs to be edited manually.

Original source

Firmware V1.1.0 and above requires Snapmaker Orca V2.2.1 (or above) or Snapmaker App V2.2.1 (or above).

New Features

• Added selective flow calibration. Users can choose specific toolhead(s) to perform flow calibration, avoiding redundant calibration on already calibrated toolheads to reduce preparation time.
• Added QR code guidance to certain error message pages. Users can scan the QR code to access the official solution for the corresponding issue, enabling faster troubleshooting.
• Added support for additional official RFID filament types.

Improvements

• Optimized cooling fan control logic to reduce fan noise from idle toolhead(s) during printing.
• Improved the AI defect detection model to reduce false positives.
• Optimized print time calculation logic. The duration shown on the print completion page now reflects the actual printing time, excluding paused time.
• Adjusted Z-axis motor current parameters to increase Z-axis output torque, improving print quality issues caused by insufficient torque.
• Added a medium sensitivity option to the filament tangle detection feature.
• Optimized the UI display for storage space management.
• Auto-Refill is enabled by default after updating the firmware.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where the firmware could shut down if the start G-code did not include a layer count command.
• Fixed an issue where the nozzle temperature could be modified unexpectedly during pre-extrusion.
