What's Changed

This creative slowdown approach enhances printing quality by reducing layer inconsistency due to varying print speeds. It specifically improves the quality of gloss-like materials by ensuring consistent outer wall print speeds. Variations in speed can impact the filament's melting time, affecting the shine of the outer walls. Untitled PS: @igiannakas is an active contributor to the Orca Slicer project—big shout out to him for his contribution! He is also working on a new Pressure Advance feature. Please check it out here: github.com/SoftFever/OrcaSlicer/pull/5609. ↗ More testing data is needed for this feature

  • Thumbnails feature enhancement. by @SoftFever in github.com/SoftFever/OrcaSlicer/pull/5555 ↗ — Support for generating various size/format combinations has been added. Users can now specify thumbnails in multiple configurations, such as 380x380/COLPIC, 210x210/COLPIC, and 380x380/PNG. This feature is particularly useful for printers that utilize multiple thumbnails for on-device screens and web interfaces, including models like the Qidi X3 series, Prusa MK4, MINI, Elegoo Neptune 4, and others. This is feature is loosely based on PrusaSlicer's work

The viewcube now looks better :) image

  • Take filament flow ratio into account when displaying flow value in gcode legend by @SoftFever in github.com/SoftFever/OrcaSlicer/pull/5628 ↗ — Orca now accounts for the "Flow Ratio" value specified in filament settings when displaying flow for each extrusion in the G-code legend. Note: this only affects gcode preview — image
