  • Fixed a crashing bug when adding text Mac Intel machine
  • QoL improvements for naming logic:
    • The filename format is now supported when exporting 3mf files.
    • If the project is not defined, the model name will be used as the output name.
    • The "Untitled" string will no longer be added if the project name is set.
    • The "_plate_0" string has been removed from the file name if there is only one plate.

Flowrate test and layer time is inspired by SuperSlicer
PA Line method is inspired by K-factor Calibration Pattern
PA Tower method is inspired by Klipper

Release notes:

  • Add Layer Time/Layer time(Log) display (NOTE: need more tweaking work for BBL printers as the layer time is skewed by the preparing time)
  • Add sandwich(inner-outer-inner-infill) mode support for Arachne engine.
  • Change default wall loop from 2 to 3
  • Fix an issue that the last used printer was not remembered after application restart. (Thanks Bambulab engineers, for the quick response and fixing)
  • Optimized layer height sanity check logic. It will check against max_layer_height in the printer settings now. (I can use CHT 1.8 nozzle to print 1.0 mm thick layers now ;) )
  • Add Prusa MINI+ profile
  • expose bed_exclude_area parameter to 3rd printers
  • Fix some 3rd party printer related issues introduced in BambuStudio v01.04.00.17
    1. Can't send sliced files to printers
    2. AMS filaments were added to non-Bambulab printers
    3. Wrong bed setting was applied

BambuStudio SoftFever V1.3.4

Release notes:

  1. Add a new printer order - sandwich mode:
    This new order is similar to the outer-wall-first mode in achieving the best dimensional accuracy. This new approach however avoids printing outer walls right after a long travel, which may cause artifacts on the surface in many cases.
    sandwich-mode1

sandwich-mode2
2. Support RRF firmware(experimental)

3. Fix a compatibility issue for gcode-preview
4. Merge upstream changes

BambuStudio SoftFever V1.3.3

Release notes:

  1. Improve top surface quality.
    Fix a bug that internal solid infills didn't use monotonic when top surface is using monotonic lines
  2. New feature: filter out tiny gaps.
    Note: for aesthetic considerations, this setting won't affect top/bottom layers. In other words, gap fills that can be seen from outside won't be filtered out
  3. PA(pressure advance) now support multi-color printing. A new PA value from the selected filament profile will be applied whenever there is
    a filament/extruder change action. This change only affects multi-color printing.
  4. Users can now set float values of layer time in Filament->Cooling tab.
  5. Allow to set target bed temp to 0
  6. Fix a bug that layer number is not displayed correctly in klipper UIs
  7. Force using linear PA model when manual PA override is enabled for Bambu machines
  8. Remember the last used filament
  9. Skip checking BL network plugin for third-party printers.

NOTE: For Apple M1 users, please take a look at this article about how to run unsigned applications on your machine. Or better, you can build it from the source codes if you want:)

Apple requires a subscription(costs 99$ yearly) for developers to sign their app. I don't do a lot of dev work on Mac, and this is a nonprofit open-source project, so I decided not to pay the money ;)
