1.42-alpha4.0 : auto purge block.

new

• purge block volume now can be automatically computed. You have to set the "filament pigment" setting (how hard it is to clear the nozzle) and the different settings in ""hardware settings" -> single extruder mm setup" -> "advanced wipe". The purge block values are printed on the terminal. #30

bug fix

• #24 #31 #32 #33

issues

• overlap & ironing are broken. Will be fixed in the next release.

1.42.0-alpha3.1 : support edition

new

• Contact z-distance: now split in 3 parameters: on can choose if you want to count from the filament, the "plane" or use a soluble filament. And there are a separate parameter for the top & the bottom
• gyroid & 3Dhoneycomb: now the connected lines follow the perimeters (it can slow down the slicing process a fair amount, check "do not connect line" to deactivate).
• scattered rectilinear infill from Nicholas Sherlock (@thenickdude) : to not be able to see the infill by transparency (need some reviews to see how it impact the top layers).

#fix

• infill connected lines : now work also for "lines"

brim ears edition

new

• merge with slic3rPE 1.42-alpha3
• setting to transform the brim in ears: an ear in draw on sharp corners (can be defined in the brim ears angle setting)

not-the-same-settings-directory edition

new

• build against the slic3rPE-alpha2 release (working datadir option)
• use by default the slic3r++ directory instead of slic3rPE for storing the settings.
• add an exemple of a bat script for using the --datadir option

2019 New year edition

new

• build against the prusa 1.42.0-alpha : new gui, no more perl. See the prusa release note for all the changes
• new parameter for thin walls: the minimum thickness to takes into account
• new behaviour for thin walls: now, each thin extrusion with a thickness less than the nozzle diameter will be increased to the nozzle diameter, because it's the only way to extrude something good enough.
• option for "no z-lift" for top solid layers (in nozzle setting tab)
• switch to 64bits for the compiled release.

fix

• fix the skirt bug from the previous version.
• reverse the behaviour of "hole XY compensation" to be more in line with the two other fields: negative to increase the size of the hole / reduce the size of the part over the hole (I promise to not change it again).
• fix the "dense layer" option that was a bit bugged.

1.41.2-2 : christmas edition

new

• concentric infill with gap fill (prusa3d#577, prusa3d#662, prusa3d#1461, slic3r/Slic3r#4629, slic3r/Slic3r#4560)

bugfix

• typos
• some possible crash with thin walls

issue

• skirts are buggy.

Vase mode edition

new

• option to remove the "connecting line" on the infill (allow to do art with no perimeters)
• split "first layer speed" with a new option: "first layer infill speed"

fix

• thin wall / gap fill improvements
• fix #13 (& new option for the old behavior)

issues

• thin walls computation can be stuck (never finish). Corrected at next version.

1.41.1-5 : moar seam options

new:

• "nearest" seam option now really emphasise the proximity
• old seam "nearest" moved to "Hidden" (as it prioritize the best position before going to the nearest)
• new option for seam : Travel move reduced. It modified the cost a bit more. Not sure it has a significant effect.
• looping perimeter: now a position option for the position of "loop switch". Nearest can lead to some undesirable effects combined with "nearest seam", the "rear" (highest y) was added.
• Remove small gaps: when unchecked, it lower drastically the checks for small gaps in geometry, see prusa3d/issues/520

other

• changed some default settings (from selected to not selected)
• some text changes.

known issue

• had a problem with ironing, hotfixed.
• wrong tag.

upstream 1.41.1 merge

merge with slic3rPE 1.41.1

new

• looping perimeters: extrude plastic instead of travel if infill % is 0

bugfix

• bugfix lopping perimeters when merging a very small one
• better spacing of the loop-merging interface

known issue

• had a problem with ironing, hotfixed (current download contains the hotfix)

Perimeter loop edition [beta]

new features

• perimeters can be merged into a continous loop (option in perimeter/advanced tab)
• new option for dense_infill algorithm : auto (no turn into the sparse infill) vs Anchored (use the Bridge anchor parameter to offset the dense layer a bit)

bugfixes

• support generation crash (on big models)
• thin_wall (& gap fill) lines that go to 0,0
