Snapmaker Luban (modified) version 4.16.3

Changes since 4.16.2

  • Fixed manually painting supports onto 3D models
  • Updated the 3D manipulation library (three.js) to a newer, more efficient version
  • Minor fixes, and more removal of dead code

Changes from "official" Luban

  • Adjust laser and CNC work area size when Quick Swap modules are installed (you need to toggle the checkbox in the Machine settings. The box was already there, but only had an effect on 3D workspaces)

  • Enclosure: bring back the "Door Detection" switch to disable the "opening the door pauses the job" safety feature. It works reliably now to enable/disable that feature.

  • Redone font management on Laser and CNC workspaces:

    • All possible font styles are loaded now (not just the first, usually Regular)
    • Font rendering now has fixed sizes. The height of the bounding box is no longer a hard constraint, so a size 12 is always 12 regardless of whether the text is capitals or not, has ascenders or accents or serifs. The bounding box will adjust its height accordingly and let the font-size remain the same.
    • Line height (between lines) is now configurable in multi-line text boxes.
  • Respect the alpha channel on Laser and CNC raster images. It didn't make a difference while engraving, but alpha (transparency) channels were converted to white when the image was loaded, which made image placement complicated due to overlaps and made the Inverse switch kind of useless since it created a big black rectangle around the subject if the original image had a transparent background.

  • Theme support in Preferences. The "Dark" theme is a simple color inversion, and some colors may look odd. Feel free to contribute an actual dark theme

  • General: Almost every third-party component has been updated to current versions. Especially... the core app engine has been updated to a much (4 years) newer version of Chromium.

    • Now supporting system theme inheritance
    • native dialogs (including file pickers)
    • a much better WebGL renderer which should speed up handling of workspaces (especially 3D printing) considerably, since it can offload everything to GPU
    • Less resource (mostly RAM) usage
  • 3D printing: Over 3 years of 3D slicer updates!

    • LunarSlicer's core updated from CuraEngine 5.3 to 5.13
    • Modern tree supports, new infill patterns, and lots of path calculation improvements
    • New CuraEngine configuration options imported into Luban's Parameters settings.
      • Most of them are unclassified, so will only be visible if you view All configuration parameters. They will not show up in Basic mode.
    • NOTE: It's entirely possible dual-extruder functionality is broken, since I don't have one of those and can't test it. If something is broken when compared to the official 4.15.0, let me know in the forums.
