Software-update: PrusaSlicer 2.9.6

Prusa Research heeft versie 2.9.5 van PrusaSlicer uitgebracht. Dit programma zorgt ervoor, simpel gezegd, dat een 3d-ontwerp zo goed mogelijk uit een 3d-printer komt. PrusaSlicer is opensource en beschikbaar voor Windows, Linux en macOS. Het wordt primair ontwikkeld voor Prusa's eigen printers, maar bevat een groot aantal profielen voor printers van andere merken. Sinds versie 2.9.4 zijn de volgende veranderingen en verbeteringen aangebracht:

Changes with respect to 2.9.6-rc1.
  • Toolpath moves between FLUSH_START and FLUSH_END tags are now not shown in the G-code preview.
  • Fan speed was incorrectly being restored to the value belonging to wrong filament when toolchange command was prepended by whitespace.
    • Improvements with respect to 2.9.6-beta1
  • Use area-dominant extruder instead of the default one when applying "Maximum width of a segmented region".Incorporate filament_load_time and filament_unload_time into cooling slowdown logic.
  • Fan speed is restored to the speed used before a custom toolchange g-code.
  • There are new custom G-Code tags ;EXCLUDE_E_START and ;EXCLUDE_E_END allowing to define sections that aren't incorporated into filament consumption.
  • There are new custom G-Code tags ;FLUSH_START and ;FLUSH_END allowing to define a section for nozzle cleaning. Filament consumption inside this section is shown in the right panel as flush.
  • Track flush and wipe tower filament consumption per extruder and display per-extruder weight in the right sidebar.
    • Bug fixes with respect to 2.9.6-beta1
  • Fix missing total toolchanges in binary G-code metadata.
  • Fix early line wrapping in the ColorMix dialog.
  • Fix rendering artifacts in the ColorMix dialog.
  • Fix insufficient bridge anchoring in some cases.
  • Fix excessive cooling slowdown in multi-tool prints.
  • Fix toolchange time added to wrong layer in the layer time visualization in some cases.
  • Fix ignoring custom G-Code tags if there is white space before semicolon.
    • Translations
  • Updated POT.
  • Update CS, DE, ES, FR, IT, PL dictionaries.
  • Updated SLO dictionary (PR#15364)
    • ColorMix

    The complete story is beyond the scope of this change log and it is described in a separate blog post and there is also a dedicated video.

    The idea of creating illusion of color by alternating different-colored filaments was prototyped by community in the recent months, most notably in ratdoux's fork of OrcaSlicer. Other PrusaSlicer forks like BambuStudio and OrcaSlicer have also taken up the idea. We now bring our own implementation into PrusaSlicer.

    When using a multicolor printer, there is now a new button in the right panel, just below Filament dropdowns. This button opens a dialog where you can add virtual extruders, each corresponding to a mix of existing extruders in specified ratios. Once virtual extruders exist, you can use them like normal extruder - assign them to volumes and use them in multimaterial painting. The slicing backend takes care of the rest. Most of the implementation is completely new, except for several fragments of the UI code which were taken from BambuStudio.

    We spent quite a lot of time and effort on the color-mixing model, because we were not happy with present implementation. The result is available as a separate MIT-licenced module prusa-fdm-mixer, so anyone can keep building on top of it, just like we did.
