J1 Bridge

OrcaSlicer + Snapmaker J1, finally talking to each other. Drag an STL, walk away, watch it print from your desk. On stock V2.8.0 firmware โ€” no Klipper conversion, no Pi, no soldering.

Monitor tab during a live print. Bed + dual hotends + state + controls, refreshing every 3 seconds. Pause / Resume / Cancel from your desk.

๐Ÿ“‚ Drag-drop slicing

Drop an STL anywhere on the Home tab. J1 Bridge slices it with the correct J1 profile, patches the printer's broken start macro, uploads, and starts the print. One drag โ€” no Reddit hacks, no manual gcode shuffling.

  • Correct J1 / J1s profiles built in
  • Start-macro patch removes wiper-mark artifacts
  • Auto-upload + auto-start

๐Ÿ“ท Camera tab built in

Plug a USB webcam in and pick it from the dropdown โ€” or point at a network MJPEG stream. No OctoPi flash, no SD card configuration, no separate Raspberry Pi to babysit. Snapshot button writes straight to disk.

  • USB webcam or network MJPEG
  • No OctoPi, no extra hardware
  • One-click snapshots

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Safety gates + honest Known Issues

Safety gates โ€” fan clamp, start-macro patch, bed-temp override โ€” default ON. And every copy ships with a built-in Known Issues tab on day one. No surprises, no marketing claim the code can't back up.

  • Fan clamp + bed-temp override
  • Multiple printer profiles
  • Known Issues page bundled in the app
