1.41.2-2 : christmas edition

new

• concentric infill with gap fill (prusa3d#577, prusa3d#662, prusa3d#1461, slic3r/Slic3r#4629, slic3r/Slic3r#4560)

bugfix

• typos
• some possible crash with thin walls

issue

• skirts are buggy.

Vase mode edition

new

• option to remove the "connecting line" on the infill (allow to do art with no perimeters)
• split "first layer speed" with a new option: "first layer infill speed"

fix

• thin wall / gap fill improvements
• fix #13 (& new option for the old behavior)

issues

• thin walls computation can be stuck (never finish). Corrected at next version.

1.41.1-5 : moar seam options

new:

• "nearest" seam option now really emphasise the proximity
• old seam "nearest" moved to "Hidden" (as it prioritize the best position before going to the nearest)
• new option for seam : Travel move reduced. It modified the cost a bit more. Not sure it has a significant effect.
• looping perimeter: now a position option for the position of "loop switch". Nearest can lead to some undesirable effects combined with "nearest seam", the "rear" (highest y) was added.
• Remove small gaps: when unchecked, it lower drastically the checks for small gaps in geometry, see prusa3d/issues/520

other

• changed some default settings (from selected to not selected)
• some text changes.

known issue

• had a problem with ironing, hotfixed.
• wrong tag.

upstream 1.41.1 merge

merge with slic3rPE 1.41.1

new

• looping perimeters: extrude plastic instead of travel if infill % is 0

bugfix

• bugfix lopping perimeters when merging a very small one
• better spacing of the loop-merging interface

known issue

• had a problem with ironing, hotfixed (current download contains the hotfix)

Perimeter loop edition [beta]

new features

• perimeters can be merged into a continous loop (option in perimeter/advanced tab)
• new option for dense_infill algorithm : auto (no turn into the sparse infill) vs Anchored (use the Bridge anchor parameter to offset the dense layer a bit)

bugfixes

• support generation crash (on big models)
• thin_wall (& gap fill) lines that go to 0,0

September 2018: thin extrusion edition [rc]

changes

• setting to activate "exact object height" if needed (need more testing)
• more thin walls adjustments & tuning
• gap fill setting to let it active when we select a 0% infill
• setting in support tab to allow printing a solid bottom layer
• more common default settings (most new options deactivated by default)
• bugfix for bridge with 0% infill

_{^{also changing the name from October to September because i'm dumb.}}

October 2018 release: thin extrusion edition [beta2]

bugfix

• fix crash when exporting gcode if a 0-length dense layer was created in the slicing.

known issue

• vase mode broken
• auto-adjust last layer height broken.

October 2018: thin extrusion edition [beta]

What's new?

• change dense layer from manually-set to automatic (see wiki)
• greatly improve thin wall option (see wiki)
• add option to grow/shrink holes (in x/y plane)
• debug some sorting issue with supports
• improve the "enforce 100% fill volume" to be more precise, and remove edge cases.

known issue

• can crash when exporting gcode if using dense layer option.

notes

no mac build because i don't have a mac. you have to compile them.
no linux build (yet) because i'm lazy and linux users know how to compile things ;-p

Thus new version hasn't been extensivly tested, you can consider it as a beta.

First release of my fork

It uses the 1.41.0_alpha2 + some commits of the prusa branch as the baseline.
If i forgot to remove some copyright things, let me know.

What's new?

• one perimeter in top surfaces
• Extra perimeter if needed: now add perimeter over overhangs (instead of doing nothing) & change the perimeter direction at each layer to get a better finish.
• much better thin walls
• avoid unsupported perimeter
• ironing
• denser infill below solid surface (kind of automatic infill density)
• Anchor solid infill by Xmm : It was harcoded to 3mm, now you can choose this value.
• infill before: now can be chosen by region (right-clic on an object)
• over-bridge flow ratio: let you fill the gap over the bridged section to have a leveled top layer.
• verbose output: now also write the needed coments for the octoprint CancelObject plugin
• "filament" option in the bottom left combobox in the preview view (a bit like "extruder")
• adjust the last layer(s) height to let the printed be at the exact size (only for the last layer, not all top layers)
• fan speed can be adjusted for the top surfaces

known issue

• seems i broke the support generator. the bugfix is ready for the next release.
