@github-actions github-actions released this 03 May 17:20

Installation

macOS:

  1. Download the .dmg file for your Mac:
    • Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3): *_aarch64.dmg
    • Intel: *_x86_64.dmg
  2. Open the DMG and drag Kromacut to Applications
  3. Remove quarantine (required for unsigned apps):
    sudo xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Kromacut.app
  4. Launch from Applications

Windows:

  1. Download the -setup.exe installer.
  2. Run the installer and follow the prompts. The standard Windows installer includes the Microsoft Edge WebView2 bootstrapper, but requires internet access if WebView2 needs to be installed or updated.
  3. For offline Windows machines, download the *_offline-setup.exe installer instead.
  4. Launch Kromacut from the Start menu

Linux:

  1. Download the .AppImage or .deb file
  2. For AppImage: chmod +x Kromacut*.AppImage && ./Kromacut*.AppImage
  3. For Debian/Ubuntu: sudo dpkg -i kromacut*.deb

What's Changed

Added

  • Calibration test patches STL — Download button in the TD calibration wizard's print step generates a ready-to-print STL of all test patches (2, 4, 6, 8, 10 layers) as a single connected model, sized to the current layer height setting
  • White-reference TD calibration - The calibration wizard can now capture a measured backlight white reference so TD fitting normalizes against the real light source instead of assuming pure 255,255,255
  • Calibration image sampler - Upload a photo or screenshot and click directly on it to sample RGB values into either the white reference or the current measurement fields
  • 3D smooth meshing - Optional smooth meshing mode that softens voxel stair-steps into smoother edge contours for cleaner 3D print geometry
  • Desktop Save As exports - Tauri builds now use native Save As dialogs for PNG, STL, and 3MF exports, then confirm the saved path after writing the file

Changed

  • Calibration wizard Step 2 UI - The measurement popup is now wider and less cramped, with clearer sampler targeting, live RGB previews, cleaner measurement cards, and improved status callouts
  • Windows installer packaging - Windows releases now ship NSIS setup installers only, with a normal online installer and a larger offline WebView2 installer variant
  • Release notes automation - The native app release pipeline now reads the matching version entry from CHANGELOG.md and publishes it in the GitHub release body

Fixed

  • Calibration persistence and refresh - White reference data is preserved with filament calibrations and profile/worker refresh logic now picks up calibration metadata changes even when the final TD value stays the same
  • Smooth meshing with height dithering - Height-dithered layers now keep their top and bottom caps when smooth meshing is enabled, preventing walls-only/non-manifold-looking layer artifacts
