|
|
- Fine-tune calibration features
|
|
1. Enforce max volumetric speed in PA line mode
|
|
2. Ensure print speeds are consistent across all blocks in the flow-rate calibration process. This is to help users calibrate those challenging filaments(such as TPU) by minimizing the influence of printing speed - thanks @psiberfunk for his input on this
|
|
- New printer models: thanks @erebus04 and @GP3D84
|
|
1. Tronxy X5SA 400

1. Exit calibration mode when a new model is added to the scene(creating a new project after calibration is recommended)
|
|
2. Skip emitting M106 P2 command if the auxiliary fan is not enabled.
|
|
3. Fix an issue that previously there was a z-fighting issue when bed models are used for 3rd party printers
|
|
4. Fixed an issue that max volumetric speed was not correctly calculated if flow-rate was changed per object.
|
|
5. CICD for Linux build - thanks @fang64
|
|
Known issues:
|
|

|
|
### [V1.4.0 changes](https://github.com/SoftFever/OrcaSlicer/releases/tag/v1.4.0):
|
|
- Add Layer Time/Layer time(Log) display (NOTE: need more tweaking work for BBL printers as the layer time is skewed by the preparing time)
|
|
- Add `sandwich`(inner-outer-inner-infill) mode support for Arachne engine.
|
|
- Change default `wall loop` from 2 to 3
|
|
- Fix an issue that the last used printer was not remembered after application restart. (Thanks Bambulab engineers, for the quick response and fixing)
|
|
- Optimized layer height sanity check logic. It will check against `max_layer_height` in the printer settings now. (I can use CHT 1.8 nozzle to print 1.0 mm thick layers now ;) )
|
|
- Add Prusa MINI+ profile
|
|
- expose `bed_exclude_area` parameter to 3rd printers
|
|
- Fix some 3rd party printer related issues introduced in [BambuStudio v01.04.00.17](https://github.com/bambulab/BambuStudio/releases/tag/v01.04.00.17)
|
|
1. Can't send sliced files to printers
|
|
2. AMS filaments were added to non-Bambulab printers
|
|
3. Wrong bed setting was applied
|
|
|
|
### [V1.3.4 changes](https://github.com/SoftFever/OrcaSlicer/releases/tag/v1.3.4):
|
|
1. Add a new printer order - sandwich mode:
|
|
This new order is similar to the outer-wall-first mode in achieving the best dimensional accuracy. This new approach however avoids printing outer walls right after a long travel, which may cause artifacts on the surface in many cases.
|
|
sandwich-mode1
|
|
sandwich-mode2
|
|
2. Support RRF firmware(experimental)
|
|
3. Fix a compatibility issue for gcode-preview
|
|
4. Merge upstream changes
|
|
|
|
### [V1.3.3 changes](https://github.com/SoftFever/OrcaSlicer/releases/tag/v1.3.3):
|
|
1. Improve top surface quality.
|
|
Fix a bug that internal solid infills didn't use monotonic when top surface is using monotonic lines
|
|
2. New feature: filter out tiny gaps.
|
|
Note: for aesthetic considerations, this setting won't affect top/bottom layers. In other words, gap fills that can be seen from outside won't be filtered out
|
|
3. PA(pressure advance) now support multi-color printing. A new PA value from the selected filament profile will be applied whenever there is
|
|
a filament/extruder change action. This change only affects multi-color printing.
|
|
5. Users can now set float values of layer time in Filament->Cooling tab.
|
|
6. Allow to set target bed temp to 0
|
|
7. Fix a bug that layer number is not displayed correctly in klipper UIs
|
|
8. Force using linear PA model when manual PA override is enabled for Bambu machines
|
|
9. Remember the last used filament
|
|
10. Skip checking BL network plugin for third-party printers.
|
|
### [V1.3.2 changes](https://github.com/SoftFever/OrcaSlicer/releases/tag/v1.3.2-sf):
|
|
1. Support device control view for 3rd party printers
|
|
2. Port `Small perimeters` feature from PrusaSlicer. I also add an extra option to adjust the small perimeter threshold
|
|
You might want to reduce speed for small perimeter parts to prevent failures like bellow:
|
|
3. Add fan speed preview mode
|
|
4. Fix an issue that print time estimation is inaccurate when `Klipper` g-code style is used.
|
|
### [V1.3.1 changes](https://github.com/SoftFever/OrcaSlicer/releases/tag/v1.3.1-sf):
|
|
1. Support change bed size and nozzle diameter
|
|
2. Allow users to specify the bridge infill direction
|
|
3. bridge_infill_direction1
|
|
4. bridge_infill_direction2
|
|
5. Change to ISO view angle for preview image
|
|
6. Add an option to change Z Hop action: NormalLift/SpiralLift
|
|
7. Optimise g-code generation for both Bambu printers and 3rd party printers
|
|
8. Support Klipper Exclude Objects
|
|
9. Better support for Moonraker's metadata.
|
|
|
|
### [V1.2.5.3 changes](https://github.com/SoftFever/OrcaSlicer/releases/tag/v1.2.5.3-sf):
|
|
1. Label objects to support Klipper Exclude Objects feature
|
|
2. Allow users to change output file name format
|
|
3. Fix a bug that pressure advance value was not saved in the profile
|
|
4. Optimize non-Bambu printer profiles
|
|
5. Remove M900 S0 which is not necessary.
|
|
|
|

|
|
1. Add options to adjust jerk for different line types
|
|
2. Add an option to adjust acceleration for travel. Higher acceleration for travel and lower acceleration for the outer wall makes it possible to print faster and nicer.
|
|
3. Add an option to manually override the Pressure Advance / Linear Advance for each filament.
|
|
|
|
### [V1.2.4 changes](https://github.com/SoftFever/OrcaSlicer/releases/tag/v1.2.4-sf):
|
|
1. Allow users to adjust accelerations for inner/outer walls separately.
|
|
2. Allow users to adjust the bottom surface flow-rate
|

## NOTE:
|
|
## 1. For Apple M1 users, please take a look at this [article](https://www.howtogeek.com/803598/app-is-damaged-and-cant-be-opened/ ) about how to run unsigned applications on your machine. Or better, you can build it from the source codes if you want:)
|
|
Apple requires a subscription(costs 99$ yearly) for developers to sign their app. I don't do a lot of dev work on Mac, and this is a nonprofit open-source project, so I decided not to pay the money ;)
|
|
|
|
## 2. If you have troubles to run the build, you might need to install following runtimes:
|
|
- [MicrosoftEdgeWebView2RuntimeInstallerX64](https://github.com/SoftFever/OrcaSlicer/releases/download/v1.0.10-sf2/MicrosoftEdgeWebView2RuntimeInstallerX64.exe)
|
|
- [vcredist2019_x64](https://github.com/SoftFever/OrcaSlicer/releases/download/v1.0.10-sf2/vcredist2019_x64.exe)
|
|
|
|
## 3. OrcaSlicer use G2/G3 commands by default. You need to turn on ARC support in your printer's firmware use with this slicer.
|
|
- For Voron and any Klipper based printers:
|
|
You can enable gcode_arcs(G2/G3) support by adding following section into you printer.cfg file:
|
|
```
|
|
[gcode_arcs]
|
|
resolution: 0.1
|
|
|
|
[gcode_macro m201]
|
|
gcode:
|
|
{% if 'X' in params or 'Y' in params %}
|
|
{% set accel = (params.X|default(params.Y)|float,
|
|
params.Y|default(params.X)|float)|min %}
|
|
SET_VELOCITY_LIMIT ACCEL={accel} ACCEL_TO_DECEL={accel * 0.5}
|
|
{% else %}
|
|
SET_VELOCITY_LIMIT
|
|
{% endif %}
|
|
|
|
[gcode_macro m203]
|
|
gcode:
|
|
{% if 'X' in params or 'Y' in params %}
|
|
{% set speed = (params.X|default(params.Y)|float,
|
|
params.Y|default(params.X)|float)|min %}
|
|
SET_VELOCITY_LIMIT VELOCITY={speed}
|
|
{% else %}
|
|
SET_VELOCITY_LIMIT
|
|
{% endif %}
|
|
|
|
[gcode_macro M205]
|
|
gcode:
|
|
{% if 'X' in params or 'Y' in params %}
|
|
{% set corner_speed = (params.X|default(params.Y)|float,
|
|
params.Y|default(params.X)|float)|min %}
|
|
SET_VELOCITY_LIMIT SQUARE_CORNER_VELOCITY={corner_speed}
|
|
{% else %}
|
|
SET_VELOCITY_LIMIT
|
|
{% endif %}
|
|
|
|
[gcode_macro M900]
|
|
gcode:
|
|
SET_PRESSURE_ADVANCE ADVANCE={params.K}
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
~~ It's also recommended to add followinging dummy macros to make Klipper happy ~~
|
|
Update: latest Klipper has supported G17 command. Don't add following macro if you are running on latest Klipper.
|
|
```
|
|
# Make OrcaSlicer happy
|
|
[gcode_macro G17]
|
|
gcode:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- For Prusa MK3S:
|
|
ARC movement are supported by default.
