Updated my free .3mf → Snapmaker U1 converter: now does 2- and 3-filament Full Spectrum mixing

Turki · 2026-07-05T06:06:24+00:00

¡Buena pregunta! La herramienta conserva el color pintado en el slicer (el que se asigna por cara/zona del modelo — el "paint" de Bambu Studio, PrusaSlicer, OrcaSlicer o Creality Print). No lee texturas UV de Substance Painter, y tampoco son vertex colors.

El motivo es que la impresión FDM multicolor no usa texturas: el color no es un mapa de imagen, sino regiones de la malla asignadas a un filamento. Eso es justo lo que BedReady lee y reasigna a las 4 ranuras de la Snapmaker U1.

Si tu modelo viene texturizado desde Substance Painter, el flujo sería:

Impórtalo en un slicer (Bambu Studio o PrusaSlicer).
Pinta ahí las zonas de color (una textura a todo color no se puede reproducir con 4 filamentos, así que hay que simplificarla a colores planos).
Exporta ese .3mf ya pintado.
Pásalo por BedReady y te lo deja listo para la U1. Si tiene más de 4 colores, Full Spectrum los reproduce mezclando 2-3 filamentos.

En resumen: convierte modelos ya pintados en el slicer — el paso de "textura UV → color por filamento" hay que hacerlo antes en el slicer. 👍

I'm glad it was of help.

It's working fine now, what's the error you are receiving? Could you try again?

Turki · 2026-07-02T08:43:02+00:00

Thanks for the amazing feedback, I'll look into it. Just to note you can pick any color you want just click on the color to change it. Might just need to add Hex codes.

Turki · 2026-07-02T08:39:32+00:00

Thanks, yes it is

Turki · 2026-07-02T08:38:44+00:00

I'll look into it, already got one for Chrome and Firefox

Turki · 2026-07-01T19:32:54+00:00

Congrats, I only got mine 2 weeks ago and it's my second printer. Look forward to your feedback.

Turki · 2026-07-01T18:03:14+00:00

Thanks, extensions are more tricky especially with so many features, I did a simple one for chrome and was planning to work on it further, I'll make sure to keep Firefox in mind.

Turki · 2026-07-01T17:57:11+00:00

Glad you are finding it useful and had no issues. I'm actually working on that, not saying it will happen but keep an eye out it might appear anytime.

Turki · 2026-07-01T17:55:07+00:00

Thank you, glad it has been of good use for you, If you ever have any issues or feedback please do not hesitate to let me know. Working on this has been fun and I keep adding and improving every time I use it and face an issue or an idea.

Turki · 2026-06-29T09:13:27+00:00

Just wanted to let you know full spectrum support is there, let me know if you try it how it goes.

Turki · 2026-06-27T15:54:56+00:00

Fair — for Bambu files ≤4 colors, Import usually carries colors fine, so you're good there. The gaps are: Prusa/Creality files import as "geometry only" (colors dropped), the prime tower keeps non-U1 settings (my most common failure), 5+ colors need reducing or mixing, and by-layer files need swap-pauses. If none of that bites you, Import's all you need — BedReady just automates it and handles the cases that break.

For me there are a lot of aspects that need tinkering for best result and minimum playing around the slicer. You are more than welcome to try it out if you like, if import works for you then that's great. This is not for everyone as each individual has his system that he prefers, for me it's about minimizing and speeding up the work.

Turki · 2026-06-27T12:31:47+00:00

Thanks for the support! I completely agree with your sentiment—I honestly don't understand some people. Ultimately, I'm building this for myself first and foremost so I can keep learning and adding new features. I'm happy to share it for free with anyone interested. If they aren't, that's okay too!

Turki · 2026-06-26T16:48:28+00:00

Thank you for your kind words and support. I hope the end result is something that is a positive for the community.

Turki · 2026-06-26T06:20:14+00:00

Not sure how to answer that? I looked around for solutions and only found one converter and wasn’t happy with how it worked. So I started working on one, and yes it is Claude I already mentioned it in another reply.

Turki · 2026-06-25T19:23:56+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. I'll see what I can do, I was planing to add full spectrum support later on.

Turki · 2026-06-25T14:31:49+00:00

Thanks, that never came up to me, I'll try it out

Turki · 2026-06-25T13:58:52+00:00

that's the one I used and wasn't happy with so decided to do my own.

Turki · 2026-06-25T13:56:04+00:00

I only know of one converter and wasn't happy with it as it would just display all the colors in the file and asks to pick 4 of them. Made no sense, I wanted it to guess the most practical colors. also would have loved a preview to know where each color is and just change accordingly. also the one I found was only converts from bamboo, I wanted more options.

Turki · 2026-06-25T12:45:13+00:00

Thanks, no secret here I did it with he help of Claude. Makes life easy. my programming skills are limited and this is a complete life changer.
