Legal & product notice
Basic and Pro, as described on this page, are made by a maker for makers.
SnapTouch is in beta and is not a big-company mass-market product. Units
are hand-assembled by one person.
This product includes software components licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL).
The corresponding source code for the firmware version supplied with your device is available on request for
at least three years from the date of purchase. To request it, email
hello@snaptouch.net.
SnapTouch can be built at no charge by advanced users using the public DIY instructions. If you do
not want to source parts, print, assemble, flash, and test the device yourself,
pre-assembled Basic and Pro units are offered here.
SnapTouch is an experimental beta hobbyist device. Each unit is powered on, flashed, and
given a basic hardware test before shipping. Beyond that, no setup,
configuration, compatibility, or troubleshooting support is included as a service—though
Pro buyers can email for general product questions and clarifications. That
still does not cover anything listed under "Not included" below (for example full
Home Assistant configuration or network and camera debugging).
What each mode needs on your side
SnapTouch only provides the handheld and its firmware. Whether a mode works in your shop
depends on software and hardware you install, configure, and maintain outside this sale.
Prerequisites by on-device mode (independent of SnapTouch assembly and testing)
| Mode |
You need (summary) |
| Printer mirror & touch |
A Snapmaker U1 with PAXX12 extended firmware installed on the
printer controller. Use the latest PAXX12 build for best compatibility with
SnapTouch.
|
| Dryer dashboard |
Home Assistant running with the right sensors/entities and
configuration on your side. SnapTouch reads what you expose—it does not replace HA setup.
Power and Humidity/Temperature devices are required.
|
| Dual live video |
PAXX12 on the U1. Video is served through Home Assistant—configuration
required. A second camera often needs additional hardware and
configuration (printer, HA, and network), also outside SnapTouch.
|
| RFID filament setup |
PAXX12 plus your RFID/tag encoding and workflow configuration. The
reader hardware ships on Pro; making RFID useful in your environment is still your
integration work.
|
PAXX12 and Home Assistant are independent third-party projects.
They are not written, distributed, or supported by SnapTouch, are outside my
control, and can change at any time. Feature behaviour on the handheld depends on their current
releases—again, use the latest PAXX12 build for the best match to printer, video, and RFID
modes. I do not provide PAXX12 or Home Assistant software, installation, or ongoing compatibility guarantees.
SnapTouch is an independent community project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or supported by
Snapmaker, PAXX12, Home Assistant, or OpenSpool.
