PrusaSlicer 2.6.0-alpha4 Pre-release
@lukasmatena lukasmatena released this 18 Feb 10:28
version_2.6.0-alpha4
4199d1a
PrusaSlicer
Summary
This is the 3rd public alpha release of PrusaSlicer 2.6.0. It mostly fixes bugs found in previous alphas, but there are also improvements, especially related to the Cut tool. For new features in the 2.6.0 series, please read the release logs of 2.6.0-alpha2 and 2.6.0-alpha3.
To let you enjoy the alpha without worries, the alpha builds save their profiles into PrusaSlicer-alpha directory, so you may use the alpha side by side with the current release without ruining your production configuration.
Cut Tool Improvements
The Cut tool dialog layout was changed to be easier to comprehend
Upper and lower part of the object are now highlighted in color
Added a possibility to cut the object into parts - in that case, connectors cannot be placed and the parts retain its position within the object. Thanks @jschuh for this idea (presented in #9564).
The controls of the tool obscured the object when it was small #9657
Added a functionality "Flip cut plane" to easily add pins to the other side of the plane #9632
The cut tool now works even when the cutting plane does not intersect any volume of the object, so the tool can be used to separate parts into multiple objects without actually cutting anything. This is the same behavior as in 2.5.0. #9629
When placing connectors in the new Cut tool, the tolerance is now entered in absolute values #9697
The cut plane is now highlighted on hover, it is newly possible to move it by dragging.
If the object is cut into parts or when it does not have any connectors, the "lock" of scaling of the resulting parts is not applied #9633
Performance improvements
Other improvements with respect to 2.6.0-alpha3
The option "Clip multipart objects" was removed. PrusaSlicer now always behaves as if it was ON. This option was a candidate for removal for a long time, and the new algorithms we implemented for the 2.6 series are no longer compatible with it. We believe that there is really no reason to not clip the objects and we have seen many cases where leaving it OFF accidentally led to unexpected results (overlapping extrusions) #9679, #8779, #3872
Increased sensitivity of the curled overhang avoidance algorithm
'Set Number of Instances' now works when multiple objects are selected #6994
Organic supports are now consistently referred to as 'Organic'
Organic supports parameters are now grayed out when different style of supports is selected
It is newly possible to set acceleration separately for external perimeters, solid infill and top solid infill (Print Settings->Speed->Acceleration control)
Bugs fixed with respect to 2.6.0-alpha3
Extra perimeters on overhangs sometimes overlapped with infill #9604
Fixed an occasional crash when using Organic supports with specific settings #9555
Fixed a crash during slicing when certain strings were present in custom G-codes. This was also a problem in previous versions, but instead of a crash, incorrect cooling logic might have been applied in these cases #9470, #9550
The "Export plate as STL including supports" option was grayed out in the menu when the object only had pad and no supports #9558
Organic supports: All contours are CCW oriented, inner contours are printed before outer contours.
Fixed crash in Organic supports with a single support layer only #9557
Linux specific: The new "idle_temperature" option in Filament Settings did not behave correctly when checked and unchecked (UI glitches).
Fixed a rare crash during slicing with specific geometries #9561, #9562
"Verbose G-Code" option produced invalid G-Code when "Dynamic overhang speed" was enabled #9588, #9610
Cooling slowdown was applied incorrectly when "Dynamic overhang speed" was enabled #9594, #9485
"Dynamic overhang speed" would set speed to zero if the speed was percentage based and external perimeter speed was set to 0 (auto). Thanks @mgunlogson for helpful investigation of this issue in #9622.
"Dynamic overhang speed" could violate (volumetric) speed limits #9709. Thanks @mgunlogson for helpful investigation of this issue in #9622.
"Dynamic overhang speed" did not work correctly with Pressure equalizer feature #9485, #9563.
The "optional" config option idle_temperature now retains its value when disabled and enabled again. If the value cannot be recovered (e.g. after switching to different tab), a value of 30 is used as a default instead of 1500. Previously, the value would change to 1500 (maximum allowed temperature) when the option was reenabled. Same fix was applied to options in Filament Overrides.
When using the Cut tool on a model that was scaled, the manipulation arrows in the scene had incorrect size and the plane was not exactly in its correct position.
Fixed double-printing of support layers in specific scenarios with soluble supports and interface layers #9647
Organic support branches sometimes intersected interface layers
Organic supports did not correctly work when using "Enforce supports for the first N layers" option #9477
Organic supports did not correctly work when using "Don't support bridges" option #9493
Various bugfixes and improvements of the Organic supports, thanks @thomasrahm
Organic supports ignored overhangs in specific cases, thanks @thomasrahm #9459
Fixed missing update of sidebar panel after orienting an object using Place on Face tool
Experimental option "Wipe tower with no sparse layers" did not work correctly and was causing missing layers in the print #9592 #9703
The Cut tool could not be applied consecutively when the previous cut placed exactly one connector #9576
Fix of Physical Printer Dialog: When closing and reopening the dialog, "Host Type" field was incorrectly changed #9695
The new placeholder is_extruder_used introduced in 2.6.0-alpha2 was not expanded correctly in some cases.
Several issues with object manipulation were fixed (mostly affecting mirrored objects) #9702
Linux specific: Desktop integration and URL registration are now separated.
Layout fixes in the Preview dialog when an archive is being opened.
Fixed freezing during brim generation for specific geometries #9651
Windows specific: Selected item in Search dialog was unreadable when using dark mode
The new autopainting of supports did not work correctly when raft was enabled
Fixed a crash with specific geometries and elephant foot compensation enabled
Bugs fixed with respect to 2.5.0
Linux specific: desktop integration was failing when $XDG_DATA_HOME and $XDG_DATA_DIRS environment variables were undefined #9565, #9584
Windows specific: Fixed UI glitch in PhysicalPrinterDialog when changing the printer selection
Extruder temperature was occasionally shown incorrectly in Preview when using single extruder multi material #8324, #9597
Fixed a false positive error report about "Calling AppConfig::save() from a worker thread", appearing when using VM and specific nVidia drivers #7839, #9178, #9370, #9420
Profiles
Added initial MakerGear bundle (#9169, thanks @garr-R)
