KISSlicer 1.5 Beta 2 - in development

[lonesock]

Yikes! That is a huge bug! (Or you just uncovered my evil plot to increase the number of PRO users! [8^)

Thanks for the instructions, too, I can duplicate the problem here. I will let everybody know as soon as I figure out what is going on.

thanks,
Jonathan

I just uploaded 1.5 beta 3.7.

Changes:

• Drag-N-Drop hopefully works again
• Handles flat triangles that sit exactly on the slice plane
• Fixed a bug where FREE users had to slice with 0.5 mm extrusion width
• Improved the code that places brim paths only on the outside of the part

Thanks for testing, everybody! If you could let me know if this fixes the various problems you are having, I'll move on to building binaries for the different OSs.

Hi Lone! Can you do up a mac version?

[lonesock]

I have to resurrect my Mac build machine, and I am out of town for the rest of today, so it will be another day at least. Sorry about that. I'm working on the Linux builds now.

Hi lonesock !

Please fix a crowning problem for walls 0.9 and 1.0 mm. if extrusion width 0.4 mm.

for 0.9 mm wall - gap is 0.1 mm
for 1.0 mm wall - gap is 0.2 mm

=(

That behavior was actually by design. In my testing I couldn't get decent extrusion below 1/2 the nozzle diameter, so I just disallow extrusion less than 1/2 extrusion width. I guess I can try it again, but it will have to wait till after the 1.5 release.

Thanks,

Hi, everybody!

There are now KISSlicer 1.5 beta 3.7 builds for Windows, Mac, and Linux up in the Dropbox folder.

Please let me know how testing goes! This might be the release, then I can finally get on to new features for v2. [8^)

thanks,

AWESOMESAUCE! I'll give the mac version a whirl and report any issues. Thanks lonesock.

Imho let be a poor extrusion, than is empty space.

radus, could I please download that model? I will play with it. Note that I can revise the limit on the crowning width down, but there still needs to be a threshold so the printer doesn't waste time laying down plastic in tiny microscopic voids.

thanks,
Jonathan
