A 2.2.51.2 version is available (fix various bugs) linux & macos build may arrive, when i'll find a solution for compiling without destroying boost quota.
A 2.2.51.1 version is available (fix two bugs)
new & changes
-
Rename of the project. (I may rename it again in the future if the need & opportunity arise.) Rationals are :
- The '+' can't be parsed by search engines.
- The '3' is a subject of strong opinions. I don't have one, so i want to stay away of it if possible.
- 'super' convey well enough the 'feature creep' orientation of this fork vs other slic3r branches.
- I choose slic3r++ to follow slic3rPE, now that it's PrusaSlicer and as i'm a fork of it, i follow the change.
-
As there are a rename, your profile directory has changed its name: to transfert your custom settings, you can export the bundle and re-import them, or just copy the content of your slic3r++ directory into SuperSlicer (it's in c:/user/myusername/appdata/roaming in windows)
-
Calibrations: Now you have a menu entry that let you ask for generated parts to help you calibrate your printer and settings. It's a feature that will evolve on the long run, so every advice is welcome.
- Bed level calibration: help you to have a perfect first layer! (NSFW)
- Filament flow calibration: the definitive flow calibration, that let you be sure that your extruder will exerts the right pressure at the right time.
- Filament temperature calibration: generate custom-sized & labelled heat tower test, made from the model of gaaZolee.
- Bridge flow calibration: helps you to set the bridge flow setting to have the best bridges possible.
- Top layer calibration (over-bridge flow calibration) to let you try to have the nicest top surface possible.
-
Extra wipe option (for external perimeters), that may help to reduce the seam
-
Small screen may be a bit better supported, with extra thin labels where needed.
-
#206 reverse direction on overhang overhaul:
- now has a dedicated setting & a threshold (how steep the overhang is)
- when reverse_direction trigger on the external loop, it also trigger for all other loops on this side (so, no more U-turn)
- do not depends on extra_perimeter anymore
- now extra_perimeters split into extra_perimeters (the old useless one) and extra_perimeters_overhangs
-
extra lift on first layer, for those who have a very very bad plate, or screw head that pop off of it.
-
first steps to allow a milling post-process if you have a tool-changer printer.
-
external perimeter overlap (experimental, not tested yet)
-
updates on voron profiles: now use the start_macro, so if you used 'my' custom start procedure, you should move it to your own klipper macro before updating!
-
add sorting setting for complete_objects
-
various gui improvements (fields sizes complete objects pop-up now a warning text)
bugfixes
- #232 Do not auto-generate G-code when using Klipper
- #247 fix because a polygon can disappear if grown.
- fix bug when unticking "complete objects"
- #250 allow klipper to do firmware retraction.
- #252 some "complete objects" problems, wip but now the check should be perfect.
- #256, the first layer speed is not overridden by the automatic one.
- #260: now, it's not mandatory to have M20X gcode in the output gcode, you can activate or deactivate those (before, it was Marlin only).
- #260: better text & layout for filament cooling, removal of the "activate-auto cooling" as it does nothing.
bugfixes in the 2.2.51.1
** bugfixes in the 2.2.51.2
- #269 fix to makes it recognize slic3r++ config from gcode
- #266 use boost to trim the line, safer. Thanks to @pix for the fix
- typos, thanks to neophrema, thierryzoller and paulhew69
- #272 better calibration placement with skirt/brim
- #276 fix klipper dual extruder problem
- Calibration: now doesn't change the "last directory used" anymore
- Fix bug where perimeters could be printed after infill because they wanted to start with a thin wall.
known issues
- afterburner profile are all with 250*250 bed, you have to edit this or use the mobius one and reduce the retraction.

There may be an appimage for linux, if all goes well
A bug-fixes only (most of them, and win-only for now) has been posted in the previous release post. It's the stable release (2.2.50.1).
