What's Changed

• Add support for textured cool plate by @SoftFever in github.com/SoftFever/OrcaSlicer/pull/6860 ↗ — Orca now supports textured cool plates like BigTree's CryoGrip Textured Coating Steel Sheet. This allows you to easily adjust the z-offset for various types of cool plates.

• Improve fuzzy skin with modifier by @Noisyfox in github.com/SoftFever/OrcaSlicer/pull/6759 ↗ — Previously, when we applied a modifier to add fuzzy skin to specific areas, the algorithm would split these regions into multiple parts, creating unwanted perimeters and islands. Now, Orca ensures continuous perimeters and infills while adding fuzzy skin only to the specified areas. This improvement enhances print quality and reduces print time. — image — image

• Feature/move plate to the front by @Azio-Pantheon in github.com/SoftFever/OrcaSlicer/pull/6262 ↗ — Orca now lets you move any plate to the front, which is especially handy when you have multiple plates and need to rearrange them. Just a heads-up: you'll need a bit of Sokoban game skill! 😉 — image

• Check and use data_dir folder if exists under application path by @SoftFever in github.com/SoftFever/OrcaSlicer/pull/6780 ↗

If there's a folder named data_dir under the application's path, Orca will use it as the data directory. image
