Snapmaker Studio v0.4.0-beta.20.1 — Honest Printer Hub + Simpler Navigation

A page-by-page navigation and wording pass to make Studio simpler and more honest for first-time Snapmaker U1 owners.

Fixed

  • Printer Hub wording now matches what it does. Earlier copy said the printer connection was "monitors only / read-only / never controls." Studio's Printer Hub actually monitors live status and can send, pause, resume or cancel a print — always with your confirmation, and it never auto-starts a print. The Printers page, Settings and the Dashboard card now say this plainly.

Simpler navigation

  • One Cost & Pricing Doctor. The sidebar, dashboard and help no longer repeat Cost, Pricing and Profit as three separate items — they are one page with all three figures.
  • Tools reuse the model you already have open. Scale, Print Quality, First Layer and Compatibility no longer make you re-pick a file you just opened.
  • Project Doctor opens straight to your loaded model's results instead of an "open a model" screen.
  • Find Models replaces a non-working "Import" button with a clear "open it from the source site, then open the model" note.

Always true

  • Your original files are never modified — preparing a model writes a new copy.
  • Studio does not slice; Snapmaker Orca does.
  • Advisory only — no print-success guarantees.
