# ThreeDaPrint/niimbot > Firmware patch for the Niimbot B1 printer (version 5.22) that enables real density control and full darkness on any label, including third-party media. - Magnitude: 0.0 out of 10 — Quiet - Stars: 124 total · Not enough measurements today - Star trust: star growth looks organic - Category: Hardware, IoT & robotics · Language: Python · Created: 2026-09-19 · Last push: 2026-09-21 - GitHub: https://github.com/ThreeDaPrint/niimbot · Page: https://gitnova.dev/en/r/ThreeDaPrint/niimbot ## Useful for - Flash the B1 5.22 with the patch to print on third-party labels - Verify D1–D5 darkness progression using test images via src/niimbot_b1.py - Port the patch to another firmware version using an LLM and the checkpoint docs ## Why it’s here - There are not enough fresh counter measurements for today's UTC day. The gain is unknown. - The repository is 16 days old and already has 124 stars. ## Star trust Star growth looks organic. Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer. ## Numbers - Forks: 18 - Issues and pull requests: 4 - Watchers: 3 - Average over the last week: 0 per day - Usual pace: 6 per day ## Stars per day, last 30 days (oldest → newest, today is partial) 2026-10-06 … 2026-11-04: None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None ## Magnitude by day, last 14 days 09-22 1.8, 09-23 1.1, 09-24 0.4, 09-25 0.3, 09-26 0.6, 09-27 0.9, 09-28 0.7, 09-29 0.7, 09-30 0.6, 10-01 0.7, 10-02 0.6, 10-03 0.3, 10-04 0.3, 10-05 0.0 --- Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score. Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast. Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
