Slic3r 0.7.0

Hello, this is a heads-up to remind that a new beefy version is out.

There are many improvements that you can read about here: [slic3r.org]

Bugger! I'll have to wait till tomorrow to try it out. Can't wait . . what the heck I'll donate instead Thanks for all your time and effort

EDIT: Donated $10USD . . . will donate again

support for custom post-processing scripts

Hurray, my TZ Huxley will probably be able to use Slic3r from now on thanks to this (need a separate speed for Z movements).

Many thanks, impressive work. I bet skeinforge will get obsolete very soon.

Most of my technical comments should be correct, but is THIS one ?
Anyway, as a rule of thumb, always double check what people write.

Awesome, so many new settings and improvements to play with! Thanks again!

Looks like it's working ! Here's my script, might be usefull for others people with techzone Huxley. You need to put it in your path.

Can't wait to test a print of that when near my machine later today

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use File::Temp qw/ tempfile /;
use File::Copy qw/ move /;

my $file_in = $ARGV[0] or die( "Need gcode file name as first argument !");
my ($file_out_h, $file_out_name) = tempfile() or die( "Cannot open temp work file !" );

# You can change those to suit your machine capabilities.
my $Z_start_speed = "80.0";
my $Z_full_speed = "110.0";


while (<>) {
  # I do manual heatup - not sure my fimware does M109 properly anyway.
  if ($_ =~ /^M109/) {
    print $file_out_h ";$_";
  # Separating Z movements so they use their own speed
  } elsif ($_ =~ /^G1 Z(\d+\.\d*) F(\d+\.\d*.*)/) {
    print $file_out_h "G1 F$Z_start_speed\n";
    print $file_out_h "G1 Z$1 F$Z_full_speed\n";
    print $file_out_h "G1 F$2\n";
  } else {
    print $file_out_h "$_";
  }
}

close $file_out_h;
move( $file_out_name, $file_in );

Edit : attaching the file as some smileys poped up in the display above.

Edit 2 : Tested a print, need some more work, not perfect yet. Will create a separate thread and stop polluting this one.

Excellent !
The Cool / slow down layer print time is a major enhancement

Holy crap.


I can't believe how much faster this version is. It sliced something in a tenth of the time as version six. it is printing now!

Wow! Simply wow! This is one huge upgrade. And I was thinking Slic3r was fast but you just upped your own game. Haven't tried support yet but I have cool rocking with great effect. Great job!

Cheers!
