#snapmakeru1 — Public Fediverse posts

Well… fuck. My #SnapmakerU1 - pretty new, not even two months old I think - already has issues with print head 3. Sounds like an angry cat sometimes, and right now when I try to load a filament it just can't. Tries like 20 times to extrude but fails with

"!! extruder[2]: state: load_extruding, error: move_extrude!raw msg:logic error!"

I knew Snapmaker =!= Prusa, but I didn't expect it to have issues this fast given the high praise it gets for quite some time now…

In order to get my #SnapmakerU1 working in LAN mode, I had to manually add an ARP cache entry ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

All the guides and tutorials show the LAN mode should simply work as a toggle switch, but it never worked for me.

I started packet capture with Wireshark and noticed that the ARP requests were not being answered.

Manually adding an ARP cache entry with the MAC address from an earlier multicast announcement made communication work.

Does everyone with a U1 have to do this?

Are these toasty temperatures fine? ._. My old printers can't tell me how hot the drivers were running, I wasn't aware they get this freaking hot.

I just updated a legacy Playaction figure and want to make it available for all followers, so here we are with a mid-week release free to download at Patreon, Printables and Makerworld. Hope you like it, guys!

Surprised how well the Snapmaker U1 is able to print ABS *without* the chamber enclosure on top.
To be fair I use 12mm brims, manual double-layer round brims on corners and copious amounts of 3DLac adhesive spray to make it not warp too much. But still, kinda impressive.

Part 2/5 of a new hot air AC exhaust. Fortunately I can print the (way larger) cold intake out of PLA as it never goes above 50°C… hopefully.

The #SnapmakerU1 #FullSpectrum #CMYK (actually CMYW) printing is amazing!

Got a "proper" CMYW set of filaments (discounted 3djake set because the polymaker lithophane set was sold out, I wonder why) and printed this:

(ignore the broken off piece in the back, the "flush tower" handled the "printing into the air" gracefully).

Just tried out #FullSpectrum #3dprinting on the #SnapmakerU1

It's amazing what kinds of colors can be simulated using the default set of white, black, yellow and red filaments. Not good by any measure, but better than nothing.

The Phase I jet troopers used the JT-12 jetpack, equipment that granted them great aerial mobility for assault and reconnaissance missions.#starwars #3dprinting #actionfigures #snapmakeru1

I'm wondering if any of us know anything about using an NFC tag instead of a RFID tag to label what kind of filament is on a spool. Phones can write to NFC tags, so it seems to me that if the U1 can see a NFC chip then perhaps we have a way to label film at spools that not labeled by their manufacturer.

I know that NFC is a newer subset of RFID. They both operate on the same frequency just below 14 MHz.

From the moment I saw the trailer for the new series Darth Maul: Shadow Lord, I had to revisit this figure. Built entirely from scratch and taking full advantage of multicolor printing capabilities of my new @snapmakeru1 , here is this new model, packed with as much decorative detail as possible.
I’ve created all the color details using new painting techniques in Blender, far more precise than painting by hand in the slicer.

So the left side of the missile turret printed, and I used Petg for the support interface layer and part of the interface layer yeeted itself.

But does it hold markers tho? Yes... Yes it does.

Still need to dial in the settings on my U1 to get things looking right

Es passt perfekt!!! I love it!

I'm really impressed with my #SnapmakerU1 so far.

I got my Snapmaker U1 last week and coming from my Creality K1 (which I really like!) it's great. I'm not a professional 3d printer, so I might be excited about dumb stuff, just so you know.

Obvious upgrade are the 4 print heads, so you can print multi color prints without all the wasted filament.

But since I didn't have a dryer at first, I also witnessed the U1 managing broken and, with the one annoying spool, tangled filament. It recognized there was a problem and stopped so I could fix it. Both problems with the K1 ended with aborted prints because the problem wouldn't be recognized so the printer would "print" air, because it didn't have any filament. (And I would have to clean the extruder with tangled filament, because it tried with more and more force to get more filament)

Also a the build plate size went to from 240x240mm to 270x270mm.

I mainly printed printer upgrades so far (Ikea Samla enclosure, adapters for older wider spools) and a axolotl which due to the undried filament didn't come out that well. But today I found a #hueforge model that was looking fun and quickly (3.5h) to print and I'm happy with the result.

Psyched about the Snapmaker U1, a multi toolhead printer for about 700€. I wanted to upgrade my K1 with multi color, but you can see that the K1 wasn't designed for this. When this Kickstarter came along I quickly decided this is the future instead of filling my printer with color change poop.
