1.8.0 Public beta 2

This is 1.8.0 Public Beta 2 version that adds a few improvements and fixes based on 1.8.0 Public Beta 1.

Improvement

1. Add "delete preset" buttons for each filament preset on the edit filament page

2. Improve the speed of auto lift type detection

Use the model "aquatic dragon" in MakerWorld from @davidkelly021 as a test. This improvement reduces gcode export time by about 12s. The left picture shows the original time cost, the right shows the improvement result.

3. Add the "align to Y axis" option to auto-arranging, which is useful for i3-type printers.

With this option on, objects will be aligned to their major axis. This is helpful for i3-type printers, as the build plate moves constantly along the Y axis and the objects are being shaken. Aligning them to the Y-axis gives higher stability.

4. Display a popup warning when the layer height exceeds the specified limit range, allowing slicing and printing to proceed despite the warning.

5. Add search hotkey (Ctrl+F), and list the search results

6. The cut tool now displays the Euler angles of the cutting plane, providing precise orientation data.

7. Add a collapse/expand button in Daily Tip. #2861
   #2865

8. Add the "small perimeter" parameter to the speed list. The feature is picked from PrusaSlicer and OrcaSlicer. Thanks to them. #735 #2221

9. Turn on the MC board fan by default on P1S.

10. Add Bambu TPU 95A HF filament.

11. Allow setting the width to be twice the diameter of the nozzle.

12. The unit of nozzle on the create printer page is changed to mm.

13. Add a scroll on the export config page to show the long filament name.

14. Fix the issue of displaying long filament names causing the dialog to exceed the screen.

15. When creating custom filaments, optimize the filament drop-down box options.

16. Show the plate ID of the print artifact on the print process of the device page.

17. Enhance the visibility of dark models in the status panel interface when using dark mode.

18. add more translation of Russion by @AndylgTom

1.8.0 Public beta

This is a major release (V1.8.0 Public Beta) that mainly adds some features, improvements, and fixes based on user feedback.

Feature

1. Support creating custom filaments in Bambu Studio

In the past, Bambu Studio provided limited third-party filament presets, users had to use "Generic XXX" for those third-party filaments, which brought lots of trouble to AMS mapping. Now, you can set up your own custom filaments right in Bambu Studio. In this release, Bambu Studio provides a handy way to create custom filaments directly in Bambu Studio.

You can create/delete custom filaments or create a preset for existing filament from the "Edit Filament" page. Detailed instructions are available on our Wiki.

Also the custom filaments could be chosen on X1 and X1C printers, and start printing as system filaments. The functionality will be available after the firmware update to version 1.6.6 (public beta version, will come out soon)

2. Support creating custom third-party printers

Previously, when Bambu Studio did not support certain printers, or if users sought to enhance their printing quality by altering the printer nozzle, the requisite manual adjustment of printer profiles was cumbersome. To address this, we have introduced an automated function that facilitates the creation of necessary printer presets. This functionality can be accessed via the designated function entrance detailed below. Once created, the custom printer presets will be organized within the 'User Presets' category. Comprehensive guidance on utilizing this new feature is provided in our Wiki.

3. Supports exporting and importing printers' profiles, filament profiles, and process profiles.

You may share profiles with others by these way offline.
The function entrance shown in the left picture. The right shows the export UI. Please check the Wiki page for details.

The import configs feature now supports four different file types, namely .json, .bbscfg, .bbsflmt, and .zip.

4. Support auto flush calculation function

In multi-color printing scenarios, it is not uncommon for users to overlook the computation of filament flush volumes, or to omit recalculations upon changing filament colors, resulting in print defects. To mitigate this issue, Bambu Studio now incorporates an automatic flush volume calculation feature. While you add a new filament or edit the color of filaments, flush volumes will recalculate automatically.

5. auto-arrange objects to the middle of the plate while switching the printer profile.

You may always be upset that the objects need to be arranged to plate manually while switching the printer profile. However, it will never bother you again. When the printer profile is changed, objects are automatically arranged onto the corresponding plates.

This GIF shows the mess after switching the printer profile in the previous.

This GIF shows the auto-arrange function in this release.

6. Add connector function.

The cut tool in Bambu Studio has been upgraded to offer new features, including the Snap connector and dovetail cutting, alongside improvements to the existing flat cutting capability. This enhancement includes code adapted from PrusaSlicer, and we acknowledge the efforts from PrusaSlicer and the contributors @YuSanka, @enricoturri1966
Snap connector：

Dovetail cut function：

Improvement

1. Support nozzle diameter detection and nozzle hardness detection

While the printer assignment is sent, Bambu Studio detects if the nozzle is qualified to print the filaments:
a. Check whether the diameter of the preset nozzle is the same as the diameter of the printer nozzle.
b. Check whether the hardness of the printer nozzle is suitable for the filaments used for printing.
This feature reduces the risk of nozzle clogging and ensures the nozzle's longevity by preventing excessive wear.
Note: The diameter and the hardness of the nozzle could be set on the printer's screen.

2. Support device file management for P1P/P1S/A1 mini #2088 #2328 .

Bambu Studio now supports file browsing for P1/P1S/A1 mini. Please note that this feature relies on the printer firmware being upgraded to a new version(P1P/P1S v1.5 and A1 mini v1.2 to be released).
When this feature is enabled, you can browse and download timelapse video files on the printer through the studio, browse model slice files on the printer, and initiate printing; However, the downloading model function of these models on printers is still not supported.

3. Add more layer height profiles for P1P's 0.2 0.6 0.8 nozzle

4. Add "top area threshold" in develop mode, which could improve top area quality in some cases, thanks @igiannakas

In developer mode, there is a new parameter called "top area threshold." This determines the extent to which the area of the top layer is reduced to decide if the "only one wall on top" setting should be applied. Adjusting this threshold influences the contraction parameter. Increasing it can enhance the model's appearance. For instance, the left sphere shows some top layers with a single loop, leading to an uneven top surface. In contrast, the right sphere, with fewer top layers, presents a more refined shape.

5. Add the "best object position" parameter to allow users to define the optimal position to put the model.
   The parameter could be modified in the printer settings, and auto-arrange will put the model in the position set. We have set the different best positions for the A1 mini and X1 series.

6. Add Tree Organic as a new support style. This feature is picked from PrusaSlicer. Thanks to PrusaSlicer. #797 #1785 #2420

7. improves the connection of the patches.
   When using a multi-material painting tool, there is now an option to enable the interlocking of the painted patches with the neighboring segments. This improves the connection of the patches. This function is picked from PrusaSlicer, thanks to PrusaSlicer.
   Refer to the figure below for the parameter's location. This parameter's value indicates the embedding depth for odd-numbered layers, with a value of 0 deactivating this feature.

8. Support to search model by name on the object list
   

9. Add wipe tower weight summary in gcodeviewer #1167 #2576

10. Support to edit plate names on the object list.

11. Support to set ironing angle.
    The ironing angle refers to the relative angle infill direction and the ironing. This feature allows users to change the angle between the ironing and the infill direction to get smoother ironing.

12. Add Korean language support, maintained by Bambu Lab

13. New Languages support from community: Russian, Czech, Ukrainian. thanks to stasyan68, and...

1.7.7.89

This is an enhanced version based on 1.7.7.88, including some improvements and bug fix

Improvement

1. Move the notification for open-door printing from the page of print job sending to the daily tips.

When using a PEI bed for printing inside a closed enclosure, the chamber temperature gradually increases during the printing process due to the high bed temperature, which can lead to filament clogging in the extruder or nozzle. For detailed information, please refer to the wiki page.
In the previous version, we added a check for bed temperature in the G-code during print initiation. We prompted users to open the printer enclosure if the bed temperature was high. However, many users provided feedback that the prompt appeared too frequently when sending print jobs. Therefore, in this version, we have moved this prompt to the daily tips. Users will no longer receive the prompt when sending print jobs.

Please read the wiki page and decide whether to open the enclosure before starting a print to prevent extruder or nozzle clogging.

Bug fix

1. Fix the issue that the auto-arranging function is abnormal under the by-object printing sequence with the P1P machine preset
2. Fix the issue of incorrect flush amount statistics in the preview page with the A1 mini profile

V1.7.4

This is a function enhancement version based on 1.7.3.50. And this version includes some new features and bug fixes.

Features

1. Support skipping objects in multi-filament(multi-color) printing
Currently, the function is not in its optimal state. Changing the filament and flushing cannot be skipped, even if the filament becomes useless after skipping objects. If we skip filament changes and flushing when the filament is deemed useless, the filament ordering would change as well. This could lead to disorganized flush volume and cause color mixing in the models. Despite these challenges, users can still benefit significantly by only excluding failed objects in multi-filament printing. We will continue to improve and plan to support skipping flushing and changing filaments in the future.

2. Users can define the filament printing order of the first layer
This feature has been requested by many users on GitHub. Find more details here. Thanks to everyone for their suggestions! The GIF below demonstrates the operation of changing the filament order of the first layer.
The model used in this demonstration is from Clem 3DVO. Thanks!

3. Users can define the part clipping order of one model in object list. #1896
This is function from PrusaSlicer and we just bring it back. Thanks PrusaSlicer!

In addition, a brim ear can be generated by applying the clipping order while using support filament. Users can merge small disc parts to the model, and use support filament to print it as a brim. The GIF below shows that process. The model used in this demonstration is from Estudio Aditivo. Thanks!

It's an experimental function, and the elephant foot compensation needs to be set to 0 mm if you add a brim ear for an additional part of a model. We will continue to follow users' suggestions!

4. Add Ellis' pattern method for pressure advance calibration for 3-rd party printer which is picked from OrcaSlicer. #2222
Thanks @thewildmage for the original code contribution!

9. some text&& translation fix, by @twangodev

v1.7.3 (v1.7 Hotfix 2)

This is a hotfix version based on 1.7.2.51

Bug fix

1. In the previous hotfix v1.7.2.51 and v1.7.1.62, the default wall generator had been switched to Arachne. However, due to certain issues, we've chosen to return to Classic and roll back the overhang detection optimization in this hotfix

   After releasing version 1.7.1.62, users reported slow slicing times during overhang calculations in Arachne mode. We attempted to address this in hotfix 1.7.2.51 using a method that unfortunately led to some overhang detection errors. Specific cases include:
   

   It seems our recent overhang detection method wasn't as polished as we hoped. To ensure reliability and speed, we've returned to the Classic wall generator. We're diligently working on refining Arachne and will reintroduce it once we're confident in its performance.

   We apologize for any issues you encountered with our latest updates. Your feedback is invaluable, and we genuinely appreciate your patience and insights.

2. Fix the issue that wall order wasn't functioning correctly with the Arachne wall generator, #2195

3. Fix the issue that the UI response is stuck sometime due to the playback stop operation

4. Updata Bambu Cube V2R1 #2193

5. Fix: tree support's enforcers inside a hole were wrongly generated
   

6. Fix: Crashing when saving auto flow rate calibration with Chinese characters.

v1.7.2 (v1.7 Hotfix)

This is a hotfix version based on 1.7.1

Improvements

Improve the slicing speed at 15% stage

Starting from version 1.7.1, the default wall generator has been switched to Arachne with variable line width enabled by default.
Arachne, compared to the classic wall generator, is more complex. Many users have reported a significant increase in processing time - up to 15% - when slicing complex models.
Therefore, we have prioritized optimizing the slicing speed when both the Arachne and overhang slowdown features are enabled.
Below, you can see a 3mf test and the slicing time comparison:

However, if the model is extremely complex (for instance, when slicing a lithophane.) and continues to be sliced slowly in the hotfix version, we recommend switching to the classic wall generator or disabling the overhang slowdown feature as a workaround.
Please refer to the following example below:

Performance issues are not always quick to resolve, but we will continue to optimize, as always.
Please don't hesitate to report any issues you encounter.
We greatly appreciate all constructive feedback and suggestions from our users!

Support one wall one top surface or topmost surface with Arachne

One wall on the top surface option is important to improve the top surface quality.
After switching the default wall generator to Arachne from V1.7.0 public beta, users reported that the top surface is bad, because Arachne couldn't be used with one wall on the top surface together at the same time.

We have tested this option before and found that this was causing the slicing process to be too slow. However, we found a solution and this option is now available in release.

You can now use the Arachne wall generator with “one wall on top surface” option for both “all top surfaces” and “only topmost surface”. The “only topmost surface” option can only make the topmost layer be one wall, but it can slice much faster than “all top surfaces” when model is very complex.

Please check the comparison below for details.

Bug Fix

1. Fix some Flow Dynamics Calibration issues caused by the calibration result not correctly synchronized between Bambu Studio and Printer.
2. Display a failed result when found an abnormal value in Flow rate calibration.
3. Fix the crash issue when saving calibration result by the Chinese name.
4. Refine kinds of translation and pictures on Calibration pages.
5. Improve lots of third-party profiles, these profiles are from OrcaSlicer, thanks SoftFever for these commits.
6. Fix the load/unload button disappear issue when not connected to AMS, #2145
7. Fixed the plugin installation failure issue on Windows.
8. Fix a send-to-print failed issue caused by too long a plate name.
9. Fix the Plate can not switch issue on some Linux Platform, #2140
