Changelog

🚀 New Features

Fuzzy Skin Painting

• Added freeform painting of fuzzy skin regions for localized texture control
• Supports three generation modes: Displacement, Extrusion, and Combined
• Multiple noise types available: Perlin, Billow, and more
• Evolves Fuzzy Skin from a simple roughness effect into a controllable surface design system

Support Interface Ironing

• Extended ironing feature to support contact surfaces
• Performs high-speed, low-flow pass (default 10%) after support printing
• Fills surface gaps and flattens irregularities for a smoother temporary printing base
• Improves bottom surface quality, overhang stability, and fine detail sharpness

Brim Ears

• Supports freeform drawing of localized adhesion structures ("ear-shaped brim") at model edges
• Improves adhesion only where needed, reducing filament waste and post-processing

Embedding Wall into Infill

• Generates periodic interlocking "tooth-like" structures between walls and infill
• Staggered across layers to improve interlayer bonding and structural strength
• Ideal for models where infill is exposed or heavily contacts outer walls

MakeNow Integration

• Fully integrated MakeNow into Creality Print
• Complete all operations within the slicer without switching to browser

🎨 UI Enhancements

G-code Preview

• Added filament usage display (length/weight) for each path type
• Enables better cost estimation and parameter tuning

⚡ Performance Improvements

• Optimized memory usage during post-slicing rendering
• Average memory reduction: ~10%
• Improved stability and responsiveness for complex and full-build-plate scenarios
• Consistent performance across desktop and laptop platforms

🔧 Optimizations

Color Change Sequence

• Optimized color change sequencing for first few layers in multi-color printing
• Adjacent colors prioritized for continuous printing, reducing purge complexity
• Purge volume reduced by ~10% with no negative impact on final print quality

Layer Artifact Optimization – Under-extrusion After Overhangs

• Addressed common issue of visible under-extrusion lines appearing after overhang sections
• Caused by rapid transitions from overhang slowdown to normal speed, where melt pressure and extrusion flow cannot respond instantly
• Optimized algorithm across seven key parameters:
  • Pressure Advance (PA)
  • Flow smoothing
  • Deceleration speed
  • Overhang speed
  • Melt chamber temperature
  • Under-extrusion timing
  • Acceleration
• Validated on multiple printers (K2 Plus, K2 Pro, K1, i7) under identical slicing conditions
• New experimental option available at: Process Settings → Speed → Advanced → "Improve Under-extrusion After Overhangs (Experimental)"
• Default parameters are recommended

Overhang Slowdown Logic

• Optimized overhang slowdown logic (@李孟龙)

Filament Mapping

• Fixed incorrect filament mapping via WAN for CFS auto-mapping (@GeoffZhong)

Cloud Upload

• Optimized failure handling when uploading to Creality Cloud without login (@neal)

Multi-Plate Preview

• Added total filament usage display in multi-plate preview (@Tynho)
