BambuStudio SoftFever V1.4.3

BambuStudio SoftFever V1.4.3

change notes:

• Calibration improvements:
  Supports setting ranges for PA calibration now. ( NOTE Bambu users: take note that PA values set in the filament profile will override PA values set in AMS slots. If you prefer to set PA values in the AMS slot UI, uncheck 'Enable pressure advance' in the filament settings. However, it is recommended to set PA in filament settings)
  

• Seam & wipe: A comprehensive document outlining these changes and options will soon be available in our Wiki

  • Seam gap
  • Role-based wipe speed(auto)
  • Wipe speed
  • Wipe on loop(inward movement)
    • Use outer wall speed and acceleration instead of travel speed and acceleration
    • Added an option to disable this feature
  • Support Cura style outer wall wipe(100% retract before wipe)
  • Extra length on restart
    

• Enable absolute/relative extrusion option on non-BBL printers @cotepat

• Added an option to set jerk for infills

• Added Inner brim only and Outer and inner brim option

• Increased the maximum bed size to 2147mm

• Support more PrusaSlicer compatible variables. Uers should be able to copy/paste most custom g-codes from PS without modification.

• Support post-process scripts @cotepat

  • Comptibility fix for klipper-estimator @cotepat

• New printer models:
  Snapmaker A250 and A350 @erebus04
  RatRig V-Cast printer @cotepat

  • Various color/icon/document fixes @hliebscher

Known issues:

1. If you encounter missing profiles after upgrading, restarting the application should resolve the issue.
2. A bug in PA calibration causes it to not function correctly when using non-English or Chinese languages. Please temporarily switch to English for PA calibration as a workaround.

NOTE 1: Apple users: refer to this articlefor instructions on running unsigned applications on your device.

BambuStudio SoftFever V1.4.2

Change notes:

1. Change the color theme :)
2. Fixed a crash issue when selecting vase mode on some machines
3. Port firmware retraction and Extra length on restart retraction feature from PrusaSlicer
4. Fine-tune calibration features
   • Enforce max volumetric speed in PA line mode
   • 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
5. New printer models: thanks @erebus04
   • Tronxy X5SA 400
   • Artillery Sidewinder
6. QoL:
   • Now allow exporting g-code for BBL printers
   • Fixed a bug that printer connection info was removed after loading a 3mf project
   • fixed an issue that user presets were not loaded when Auto sync user preset option was off in Preference.
   • Germany language translation - thanks @hliebscher
   • README update and clean up - thanks @GP3D84
7. Misc fixes:
   • Exit calibration mode when a new model is added to the scene(creating a new project after calibration is recommended)
   • Skip emitting M106 P2 command if the auxiliary fan is not enabled.
   • Fix an issue that previously there was a z-fighting issue when bed models are used for 3rd party printers
   • Fixed an issue that max volumetric speed was not correctly calculated if flow-rate was changed per object.
   • CICD for Linux build - thanks @fang64

Known issues:

1. The Calibration menu is missing on some Mac machines. Try restarting the App can usually fix it. See #120

BambuStudio SoftFever V1.4.1

Change notes:

• Added flow rate and pressure advance calibration features. for more information, refer to this Wiki page
  

• Added support for skirt height.

• Improved the display of layer time.
  For those who wonder why I am keen to add layer time visualization, check this image

• Added a feature for checking and displaying a notification for a new version
• Added RatRig printer profiles, thanks @erebus04 for working this
• Added support for the Creality CR-10 Max and Anker M5 printers.
• Fixed the issue with profile cloud syncing for third-party printers.
• set inner_wall_acceleration to 5000 for Bambu printers
• Added support for the first_layer_bed_temperature and first_layer_temperature variables for better compatibility."
• Fixed a crashing bug when adding text Mac Intel machine
• QoL improvements for naming logic:
  • The filename format is now supported when exporting 3mf files.
  • If the project is not defined, the model name will be used as the output name.
  • The "Untitled" string will no longer be added if the project name is set.
  • The "_plate_0" string has been removed from the file name if there is only one plate.

BambuStudio SoftFever V1.4.0

Release notes:

• 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
  1. Can't send sliced files to printers
  2. AMS filaments were added to non-Bambulab printers
  3. Wrong bed setting was applied

BambuStudio SoftFever V1.4.0 beta3

Changes:

1. Fix a bug that wrong bed temperature was used for third-party printers

BambuStudio SoftFever V1.4.0 beta2

This is a maintenance release.
It merges upstream changes(BambuStudio 1.4).

Bambulab has added quite a few excellent new features in version 1.4.
You can find the changelogs here

BambuStudio SoftFever V1.3.4

Release notes:

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.
   

2. Support RRF firmware(experimental)

3. Fix a compatibility issue for gcode-preview
4. Merge upstream changes

NOTE 1: For Apple users, please take a look at this article about how to run unsigned applications on your machine.

NOTE 2: Feel free to report issues/bugs/suggestions on GitHub.

BambuStudio SoftFever V1.3.3

Release notes:

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.
4. Users can now set float values of layer time in Filament->Cooling tab.
5. Allow to set target bed temp to 0
6. Fix a bug that layer number is not displayed correctly in klipper UIs
7. Force using linear PA model when manual PA override is enabled for Bambu machines
8. Remember the last used filament
9. Skip checking BL network plugin for third-party printers.

NOTE: For Apple M1 users, please take a look at this article 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 ;)

BambuStudio SoftFever V1.3.3 beta3

Fix a regression bug found in 1.3.3 beta.

• PA was not set properly when only one filament was used.

BambuStudio SoftFever V1.3.3 beta

Changes:

1. 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
2. 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.
3. Users can now set float values of layer time in Filament->Cooling tab.
