OrcaSlicer V2.0.0 RC Release

on GitHub

This is the OrcaSlicer V2.0.0 RC release.

This update introduces some new features and fixes some bugs found in the V2.0.0 Beta.

What's Changed

• Rewriten 3D Honeycomb infill by @gringer in #4425

  Are you ready to embrace your new favorite infill pattern? Allow me to introduce the revamped 3D Honeycomb infill. The current 3D Honeycomb infill pattern includes many bridges, making it less than ideal for high-speed printing and resulting in reduced strength. However, the improved 3D Honeycomb significantly reduces bridging, providing better strength and print quality. It offers similar strength to Gyroid infill but prints faster, thanks to requiring fewer direction changes.

  @gringer is the original author of the 3D Honeycomb implementation in Slic3r too(and hence in OrcaSlicer/PrusaSlicer/SuperSlicer/BambuStudio/etc...)
  

  My stress testing shows that the new 3D Honeycomb infill can handle fast printing (200mm/s) without breaking a sweat.
  The following test was performed on a Prusa MK4 printer:
  Actual infill print speed: 200mm/s
  Filament: PETG
  Infill pattern: new 3D Honeycomb

  

• Tweak the home page in OrcaSlicer by @SoftFever in #4602

  1. Add a new preference option to explicitly and easily enable/disable the Bambu network plugin.
  2. Show/hide the user login panel in the Home tab automatically according to the new option. This should give users who don't use Bambu machines or accounts a clean startup interface.
     

• Tweak OrcaSlicer log by @SoftFever

  1. set default logging level to warning and make it configurable in .conf file
