2.7.63.0 beta 2

First beta for 2.7.62
Many many changes.
I started working on 2.7.63, with a new wipetower that allows multiple nozzle size & variable layer height.

changelog

notes

• Read the changelog about the new way the configuration is stored and what's "install vendor preset" means. They allow faster loading & to be able to have multiple version of the slicer in the same computer, if needed.
  • I'm open to any advice to improve the vendor preset installation & managing window.
• Overhangs setting shave been overhauled a bit.
  • overhang speed settings are now in speed tab. It's always activated, to be applied with flow modification. If the threshold is activated, it allows to have overhangs with a different speed even without any flow modification.
  • overhang flow settings are now in flow/width tab. It activates with overhangs_flow_ratio.
  • the overhangs detection kill switch is here again, in the perimeter tab.
  • I didn't had the time to correctly convert old vendor profiles to the new settings. So the overhangs settings may be deactivated by default, be sure to check them.

notes

• I haven't tested myself the macos build.
• MACOS: The mac intel version build is broken again, i'll try again next week to compile it. The arm will tell you it's corrupted. You need to do xattr -cr /Applications/SuperSlicer.app. I'm working on proper signature.

2.7.61.10

Some more bug fixes for 2.7.61

new

• installer (.msi) release for windows, thanks to @eff3ry

bugfixes

• Fix gap_fill_perimeter allowing infill inside the perimeter-gapfill #4670
• Fix config wizard resetting to Simple mode
• Don't show phony values (spacing vs width) in "unsaved changes" / "compare" setting window

• Fix speed percentage hierarchy when using auto-speed. #4676
• Fix hole_size_compensation with multiple regions #4631
• Fix arc gcode (wrong direction) when the loss of precision makes it too small to be something else than a strait line.
• Increase http max size for getting the release json from github
• Avoid crossing perimeters (& can_cross): distinguish between extruders (note: still can't distinguish between solid & sparse infill extruders.)
• Fix the old scarf seam (may still be removed/revamped when merged with 2.9)

notes

• I haven't tested myself the linux & macos build.
• MACOS: The mac intel version will ask you for permission, and the arm will tell you it's corrupted. You need to do xattr -cr /Applications/SuperSlicer.app.
• For Windows automatic installer/updates: https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/superslicer . Note that it has some days of delay, for the validation process. (I'll try to add superslicer also into winget, after I'll finish the fix the signing process)

2.7.61.8

Some more little bug fixes for 2.7.61 (same known issues as 2.7.61.4)
First alpha of 2.7.62 is out. Feature-wise, it's 80% finished.
I also started a big rework for later (wipetower with multiple nozzle size, more wipe, better min time, more sequential options).

known issue

• some infill may be placed inside gapfill area. This is a regression from 'fix missing infill into 'post-perimeter gapfill areas' when gapfill is disabled.'

new

• merge of 'step import dialog' by @stxve-cr3d
• add 'ensuring' pattern to solid fill pattern (it's the one enforced by prusaslicer). I forgot to make is selectable, fixed now, also set it as default.

bugfixes

• 'dont create another resources/ directory under /resources on mac' by @stxve-cr3d
• Fix some support layer height weirdness (precision issues)
• Fixed support material generating with auto-support but not with enforcers
• Fix brim on multiple instances with multiple extruders.
• Chart widget: add darker/lighter background to the text int he chart to be visible.
• fix chart for Ramming parameters
• fix default extruder indexing for pressure advance on klipper..
• fix missing infill into 'post-perimeter gapfill areas' when gapfill is disabled.
• Fix min_width_top_surface (only one perimeter on top -> min width) : revert some bad changes from before june.

notes

• I haven't tested myself the linux & macos build.
• MACOS: The mac intel version will ask you for permission, and the arm will tell you it's corrupted. You need to do xattr -cr /Applications/SuperSlicer.app.

Some little bug fixes for 2.7.61 (same known issues as 2.7.61.4)

new

• new setting: gap_fill_perimeter do be able to disable the algorithm that try to fit perimeters inside thick gapfill (if you prefer thick gapfill). #4648

bugfixes

• Fix some graph widget issues:
  • Fix issue when manually reordering the node (moving in x-axis)
  • allow to press "enter" on x&y textbox
  • correctly apply new min & max when changed

• Fix perimeter_loop #4646
• Fix some bugs: arachne closed open path; fill ensure_valid
• project_mesh: optimize union_ for an edge case where unioning 14k little polygons at the same time result in cpu hog. reduce compute time by ~x30 (220s-> 8s). happened on a litophane at a specific z-angle.
• fix overhangs_speed_enforce also for classic perimeters

notes

• I haven't tested myself the linux & macos build.
• MACOS: The mac intel version will ask you for permission, and the arm will tell you it's corrupted. You need to do xattr -cr /Applications/SuperSlicer.app.

• always write the 'total toolchanges' stat line in the gcode
• move windows build from 2019 to 2022

notes

• I haven't tested myself the linux & macos build.
