Mini You — order queue
Live orders pulled straight from Shopify — no more manual URL pasting. Each order's approved image(s), style/finish/costume/theme choices, and nameplate text are parsed automatically from the order note. Click Convert to generate the actual 3D print file for that order.

Manual conversion
Fallback / test-mode tool — paste an approved image URL directly (the studio's Test Mode link at ?test=1 opens this page pre-filled), pick the pose, and generate the 3D file.
This calls the same Meshy image-to-3d pipeline as the customer studio, just triggered manually per order/test instead of per preview attempt — keeps credit usage down since the 2D preview studio never generates a mesh on every retry.
🖨 Slicing the GLB in Snapmaker Orca
Researched for the U1's 4-toolhead SnapSwap system — settings below reflect community-tested values as of early 2026. Re-check the Snapmaker wiki periodically since Snapmaker Orca is still in beta.
Slicer: use Snapmaker Orca (a purpose-built OrcaSlicer fork for the U1), not stock OrcaSlicer — it ships with U1 printer/tool-change G-code built in, so you skip manual toolhead-parking setup. For true full-color gradient/blended effects (not just per-part colors), use the Full Spectrum fork instead — same base, adds virtual mixed-color filaments.
First-time calibration (Calibration menu, in this order):
- Flow Rate (coarse pass, then fine pass)
- Pressure Advance
- Temperature Tower — per spool, especially for non-Snapmaker filament
Tree supports: Support Type → Tree(Auto). Uses 25–50% less material than normal supports and can angle around overhangs instead of dropping straight down — good default for a chibi figure's arms/hair overhangs.
Variable / full-color layering (Full Spectrum fork only, Print Settings → Others → Dithering): set Dithering Cadence Height A/B to control the ratio between two blended filaments (e.g. 0.3mm + 0.15mm ≈ 2:1 blend) and Dithering Step Size to your layer height for smooth transitions, or larger for visible color banding as a style choice.
| Setting | Default | Optimized |
|---|---|---|
| Outer Wall Speed | — | ≥210 mm/s (confirm via VFA test) |
| Inner Wall Speed | — | 210 mm/s (match outer) |
| Wall Printing Order | Outer/Inner | Inner/Outer/Inner |
| Z-Hop Type (all 4 extruders) | Auto | Normal — fixes the Z-axis knocking/layer-shift bug |
| Prime Tower Width | 30 mm | 20 mm |
| Prime Volume | ~45 mm³ | 15–18 mm³ (up to 35–45 mm³ if you see color bleed) |
| Minimal Purge on Wipe Tower | 60 mm³ | 10 mm³ |
| Prime Tower Wall Type | — | Rectangle (or Rib if it topples on tall prints) |
Run the built-in VFA test (Calibration menu, range 100–300 mm³/s) before locking in wall speed — temporarily set Max Volumetric Speed high (~200 mm³/s) in filament settings so the test isn't flow-limited, then read off the speed where ripples disappear.
