Slic3r 0.9.0

Just a quick post to say Slic3r 0.9.0 is out

Initial impressions,

Well ive only sliced and printed one object but the interface is much better, and the way settings are saved is much better,

Instant improvement in top surfaces, and it sliced it so fast i thought it had just generated perimeters of something, but no it has output the whole file

Thanks

Really appreciate all the hard work of the Slic3r contributors.
Slic3r v8.3 was a great release with addition of Brim, and v8.4 seemingly to print even better.

With a properly calibrated machine...
Unfortunately even with the release of Slic3r v9.0 internal hole sizes are still printing undersize (e.g 15mm I.D hole prints at !4.75ish), while most oustside perimeters measurement seem to be accurate to within .05mm while other features maybe off as much as .25mm on a for example 50mm distance measured across two parallel perimeter faces (Model/Feature dependent and not related to the calibration of the axis).

Using Skeinforge v41 a 40mm x 20mm calibration cube with a 15mm hole through the center of the cube measures amazing accurate to within about + -.05mm tolerance (and not activating the Stretch Module).

For reference I print with a Orca 3, V9 Extruder with a .35 nozzle and .2mm layer height.

When Slic3r is able to print dimensional accurate as Skeinforge seemingly does, I will gladly be retiring it in favor of the fast slicing that Slic3r provides.

Any ideas when this issue will be fixed ?

Thanks for everybody's hard work on Slic3r.

Unfortunately I cannot use the new version. Symantec reports Slic3r.exe as being infected with a Bloodhound.Sonar.9 virus

Was really looking forward to better flow control.....

Was it the 32 bit or 64 bit Windows exe that you downloaded? Tried forcing a Virus definition update to make sure it's up to date?

Seems to be something specific to Symantec then as I just downloaded both the 32 and 64 bit Windows versions of Slic3r 0.9.0 and scanned them in-depth with eSet NOD32 - No issues here. Just pushing them both to VirusTotal to see what it says.

Update: VirusTotal says no issue with the 32bit or 64bit version (uploaded the .ZIP file) with 41 different virus scanners (including Symantec).

32 bit version. I am trying it out on a work laptop because I was too impatient to get home. Will ask our IT department to update virus definitions

Ok. Weird one. Checked the Slic3r folder newly downloaded and no virus when scanned. However Symantec finds one wen the program is run....

Maybe it's time for an antivirus change

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

Like i said its a work laptop so change not viable...

In the link you will find the guide written by me and Lorenzo Cantini of Kent’s strapper for Slic3r.
