This is a function enhancement version based on 1.7.3.50. And this version includes some new features and bug fixes.
Features
1. Support skipping objects in multi-filament(multi-color) printing
Currently, the function is not in its optimal state. Changing the filament and flushing cannot be skipped, even if the filament becomes useless after skipping objects. If we skip filament changes and flushing when the filament is deemed useless, the filament ordering would change as well. This could lead to disorganized flush volume and cause color mixing in the models. Despite these challenges, users can still benefit significantly by only excluding failed objects in multi-filament printing. We will continue to improve and plan to support skipping flushing and changing filaments in the future.
2. Users can define the filament printing order of the first layer
This feature has been requested by many users on GitHub. Find more details here. Thanks to everyone for their suggestions! The GIF below demonstrates the operation of changing the filament order of the first layer.
The model used in this demonstration is from Clem 3DVO. Thanks!
3. Users can define the part clipping order of one model in object list. #1896
This is function from PrusaSlicer and we just bring it back. Thanks PrusaSlicer!
In addition, a brim ear can be generated by applying the clipping order while using support filament. Users can merge small disc parts to the model, and use support filament to print it as a brim. The GIF below shows that process. The model used in this demonstration is from Estudio Aditivo. Thanks!
It's an experimental function, and the elephant foot compensation needs to be set to 0 mm if you add a brim ear for an additional part of a model. We will continue to follow users' suggestions!
4. Add Ellis' pattern method for pressure advance calibration for 3-rd party printer which is picked from OrcaSlicer. #2222
Thanks @thewildmage for the original code contribution!
