Bed protection keeps on snapping off when almost up
Hello all,
Exactly as the title depicts it: the bed of the Snapmaker U1 keeps on making a strong sound and the underside white plastic cover snaps off, when the bed goes upwards.
It happens at the same height.. more like the screws are not aligned? what should I look for? I`m a previous Ender 3 S1 owner, can disassemble my older printer, reassemble it, recalibrate it, and also change its cylinder sealing rings and head gasket.... :)))
Does anyone have a solution for this or am I the only one with this problem?
Yyiiiiielp!!
Just ordered the U1 today. I have a Bambu P2S.
What are some of the deferences between Snapmaker and Bambu that I will need to know? I’ve only been printing for a few months. Will it be as easy to print with as the Bambu?
Transferring files to printer
Due to my Laptop deciding to give up the ghost just as my U1 has arrived I need some advice.
How can I get g-code files from my phone onto the U1?
I have gotten someone remotely to slice the models on their computer (with my printer settings) and email me the g-code. However now I am struggling to get them from my android phone or tablet onto the printer. The Snapmaker App does not seem to have an option to do it and plugging in either the phone or tablet as a USB does not show up on the printer.
Any suggestions from y'all more knowledgeable than I am?

Snapmaker orca trouble
I just got the Snapmaker u1 and absolutely love it! I made the dragon mascot to have a flexible/wiggly head to put on the top of the printing head. it gives me this notification and doesn’t let me slice. Not sure what to do. Anything would help!
Ripples on second layer
I'm trying to print a Hueforge and this is how the second layer is going down. the first layer looked perfect so I'm not sure why this is happening.
does anyone have any ideas why it is happening and any issues to try and fix it?
Default vs Custom firmware?
I have about 1000 hours on my A1 Mini and decided to pull the trigger on a U1. I’ve been scrolling through the subreddit and keep seeing the custom firmware mentioned. Is this something that is recommended?
I saw a post talking about making the camera frame-rate better with the cfw, and even adding a usb webcam. I’m also interested in Full Spectrum printing. Is cfw needed for this?
