What's New in Prusa Slicer 2.8

image.png

The new Prusa Slicer has some cool new features and changes that I think you'll find interesting, even if you don't use the software directly (seeing as many others use Prusa Slicer as an open source foundation).

User Interface (UI) Changes:

The first thing you'll notice is the new look of the user interface. In version 2.7, there was an operating system menu at the top. Now, in 2.8, there's a menu button with a logo instead. I personally like this change, but it does mean that the Alt key shortcuts (like pressing Alt to highlight the menu) won't work the same way anymore. But don't worry, Pusia Slicer has its own set of shortcuts you can learn.

Speed Visualization:

This is the coolest new feature for speed freaks. After you slice a model and go to the preview, you can now see the actual speed of the printer with colors. To access this, you need to select "Actual Speed" from the drop-down menu in the preview screen. This is different from the old speed preview because it also shows acceleration.

Why is this important?

When the printer moves, it can't change speed instantly because of physics. This new feature shows you how the speed changes over time, including acceleration and deceleration.

There's a new graph at the bottom that shows these speed changes. The slope represents acceleration, the flat part is constant speed, and the downward slope is deceleration. You can even hear these changes if you listen closely to the printer.

Profiles are organized in repositories

Having profiles in repos allows for more targeted updates. Updates can also be installed offline via downloadable files.

Better Seams

The algorithm for placing seams has been improved to resolve various issues from previous versions. The new implementation promises a more aesthetically pleasing seam placement, especially for simple cylindrical models.

Single Perimeter on Top and Bottom:

This feature was first seen in Super Slicer and Orca Slicer. It's now in Prusa Slicer and makes the top and bottom layers look nicer. This is mostly for cosmetic purposes but can be useful if you want your prints to look really good.

Other New Stuff:

Other new features ...

  • A lot of UI tweaks and redesigned layout, making it easier to use.
  • The filament change button (+ button) is now easier to click.
  • There are new stats available, like flow rate and speed, shown as numbers. This is super helpful because you no longer have to guess from the color legend on the preview.
  • Support for heated print chambers
  • Material shrinkage compensation
  • Extended command line options for profile selection.

Get it here

The best way to get the latest and greatest (but maybe buggy) release is on Github

Hello Marky, are you ok do you need help, are you facing mental health challenges?

It's crucial to seek help. Continual dishonesty can erode trust and your mental health. Downvotes do not have an impact on us, but our consistent sharing of accurate information is key to us.

Marky stop getting butt fucked LOL.

Farming? Show me where I am farming, I post like one post a month at this point, and all buildawhale is burned. As you say transactions don’t lie. And don't say curation rewards, I'd get those no matter what I vote on and if you expect I will be the only person on this blockchain to forfeit curation rewards, you are dumber than we know you are.

NO DOWNVOTES FOR MARKY MARK'S SELF VOTING !WEED

Just going to leave my response to the one out of thousand previous comments you left today.

People only tolerate you for the votes
Interesting, considering I don't vote anyone.

You vote on you're own spam comments every day @buildawhale to earn curation rewards. There are many authors on Hive whom you could support, but you choose not to you keep it to yourself don't you Marcus? You are no good Marcus.

I used to vote over 200 unique authors a day, many of which my vote was their only significant vote, and for over a year every post and every vote I would make would get downvoted for $50 because someone was sad I stopped the abuse they were voting on. I lost my ability to choose what I vote on years ago. It has finally stopped, so I started the burn posts to reduce the inflation due to the wreckless DHF spending. Of course I earn curation rewards, like every single person on Hive. I will not be the only person on Hive to forfeit curation rewards, and to expect that is ridiculous. You are one to talk about spam comments, you are spamming hundreds if not thousands of comments a day.

LOL

It seems like THEMARKYMARK is dealing with some personal drama and mental issues, which might be causing them to spam us and others with baby pics, GIFs, and questionable content he's been doing the same for years. The fun doesn't stop there, as this seems to be a recurring theme with multiple online personas. The real question is, do we want to trust these drama-magnets with our hard-earned funds or any significant influence on Hive?

On Hive a significant issue exists with automatic upvotes consistently rewarding the same individuals day in and day out

We want to address the issue of downvoting. It has caused pain to many people, and we want to make sure it doesn't happen again reply to @jacobtothe

We hope that those who genuinely care about Hive will reconsider their actions, as continuing down this path could inadvertently harm innocent users who are unaware of these issues

No.

I downvote spammers, you are a spammer, you get no monies. It’s very simple.

In the meantime go get some help. You obviously have some issues going on.
