pre-release2 years ago

This branch may turn into the stable one. I just want to iron out the last bugs with a beta before.

There is still some problems on the code generation (mainly for multi-extruders printers), but these will be taken care on the next version.

known issues

  • windows: delete the opengl32.dll to get back normal performance.
  • windows: translations are borked (unless you use the uft-8 mode)
  • I again made an error when naming the zip ><

new

  • Now you can set the spacing between extrusion lines.

    • There are two ways of deciding the 'width' of an extrusion line: by width or by spacing. One is set, and the other is computed over the other. The computed one has its label grey.
    • Set one will update the other one, taken into account the current layer height.
    • If you're using variable layer height, it's the (computed) width that is used, so the spacing will be different: bigger on big layer, and thinner on thin layers.
    • you have a little help image below (the help collapsible thingy) to explain the difference between width and spacing.
  • add icons on tabs (can be disabled/resized in preferences)
  • added a fourth option in the gui layout option : tab

    • Allow going back to sliced preview without the trick of modifying a printer setting.
    • All tabs are on the same bar instead of splitting them between the top bar and the bottom.
    • As it's a bit hacky (the panel has to be moved between tabs), some linux distribution may have some quirks with this option.
  • Vendor profiles have been moved to slic3r/slic3r-profiles. You have to git submodule update if you clone this repo.
  • add start_gcode_manual to disable automatic 'start gcode' output #875 (in the Custom G-code tab). Note that it won't print anything, you have to ensure that you write everything needed in your Start Gcode section.
  • Update localization tools, now written in python and takes into account the ui_layout ini files.
  • Allow to choose the splashscreen. Can be random.
  • Update VORON cube to current version. Thanks to Benoit Miller
  • out-of-bounds objects RED instead of blue. Thanks to Pavulon87
  • Add export to prusa menu item (so you're not limited to the .3mf that is already compatible)
  • gui colors are now modifiable in preferences
    • default gui colors are in colors.ini
  • Implement option from old Slic3r mainline to permit printer firmware to define their fan speeds from 0-100 instead of 0-255. Thanks to Joseph Lenox
  • #949 Consolidate what is a "project": The project is the current .3mf (even if not saved/named yet, it start with an empty one)
    • ask for saving the project if unsaved changes
    • ask for preset reset if new project
    • delete all : new project or just delete
    • need some more works, as there may still exist some incoherencies

bugfixes

  • Fix firmware min_length (may be the cause of some unwanted model simplification)
  • Revert "only one perimeter on top" to october algorithm.
    • if some letters on top of a flat surface create problems, set min_width_top_surface to 0 (on this layer only if needed).
  • Allow to have no prusa profiles.
  • write some initialisation lines at the right line #1121
  • Fix fan speed on overhangs #1127
  • fix loading prusa conf
  • fix polyhole algo
    • add a hole_to_polyhole_threshold to allow a user-defined margin (because not all circles are perfect) #924
    • do not considerate ngons as circle if n<9
  • Fix deadlock when canceling the slicing while creating thumbnails
  • Fix clipper::union adding extremely small holes even with safety_offset
  • fix anchor_length > anchor_length_max error
  • fix macos icns #1086
  • Fix for auto-heating when using one extruder from many #1103
  • #1083 Make deselectable the automatic switch from tabs during background processing
  • #1076 adjust color changes for z_offset
  • #1073 fix Infill doesn´t switch to Rectilinear at 100%
  • no infill: allow margins and denser infill
  • fix crash on slice if no extruder names
  • fix error when no settings directory
  • Implement more tests. Thanks to Joseph Lenox
  • #922 Infill bridge issues
  • #944 Spiral vase mode should now turn off some of SuperSlicer's new settings
  • #979 Thumbnail sizes gui bug
  • #988 don't use the cost-based field in other seam algo.
  • #1005 Draft shield if complete objects
  • #1007 fix temperature calibration
  • #1016 Multimaterial Toolchange Temperature can now be set to a value below 175°C
  • #1002 ironing post-process angle
  • #995 thin wall bug (boost voronoi bug) mitigation

note: I haven't tested the linux & macos build.
