Hello

This PrusaSlicer/slic3r fork should be up do to date with the latest release of PrusaSlicer, but it has nothing to do with Prusa Research, it's a personal fork for my use. Don't blame them if something don't work, it's my fault. It add some options and bugfixes. These may be merged back into PrusaSlicer (and/or main slic3r) in the future, if they wanted it and have the time to do so, but for some they need major changes in the software.

note: most are new settings you can activate/deactivate

Changelog (last update 2020-05-28):

infill:

  • gyroid infill (now merged inside #e6e600slic3r and #ff8c00slic3rPE) (now with Yuri D'Elia additions)
  • better connected lines for gyroid infill (& 3D honeycomb)
  • ironing infill
  • concentric + gapfill infill (don't leave gaps, like the perimeters)
  • rectilinear + gapfill infill (better coverage where there are small surfaces)
  • scattered rectilinear infill (random infill) (by @thenickdude)
  • do not connect lines of infill
  • denser infill below the first solid (top) layer
  • ensure all solid infill extrude just the volume of plastic needed (not 99% or 101% but 100%)
  • over-bridge flow compensation : allow to over-extutrude the layer over a bridge to catch the good z-height.

perimeters:

support:

  • can transform the first layer of the raft to a solid layer (support are printed over a 1-layer raft)
  • split the z gap:
    • now you can select the z-gap mode: soluble filament (no z-distance), calculate from the filament, calculate based on the layer position.
    • bottom z-gap (part => support)
    • top z-gap (support => part)
  • add a (experimental) 3D interface pattern.

skirt & brim:

  • brim ears (print brim-ears around corners) #e6e600
  • interior brim #e6e600
  • brim on parts/islands inside a "hole"
  • brim & skirt are printed per object instance if "complete individual object" (can be deactivated for skirts)
  • brim offset
  • brim settings per object
  • now supports doesn't push the brim away.

advanced & others:

  • you can now set the size of the anchor the solid layers & bridge layer are grow of.
  • xy hole compensation (only for convex holes)
  • convert circular hole to polyhole (polygon selected from hole diameter & extrusion width)
  • XY curve smoothing (add points to better approximate a cylinder from existing polygons, to remove the felling of triangles you can have when touching a printed cylinder)
  • export part begin /end to be compatible with cancelobject (octoprint plugin) (now merged inside #e6e600slic3r and #ff8c00slic3rPE)
  • remove co-linear points (#e6e600 #ff8c00)

filament:

  • fan speed for top infill
  • max speed for wipe tower
  • auto-sized wipe tower based on filament pigment.
  • skinnydip routine from Erik Bjorgan (domesticatedviking)

hardware/printer:

  • option for "no lift for top solid infill"
  • "fan delay" to start the part cooling fan a bit earlier to take into account the time it needs to start.
  • machine limits available for every firmware, with 'time estimation compensation' for better estimation

ui:

  • calibration test prints, generated specifically for the current profile.
  • customisable setting windows
  • show the consumption for each filament if using 'color print'.
  • separate settings & color for thin walls

fix / too small changes:

  • too bored to list them all. Things like "this select box is a bit bigger" "this setting now can be entered with a %", etc...
