Improvements
1. FFF New and Optimized Functions
1) Enhancement of Support Painting Function
- Mapping of Enforcer areas, supporting the generation of supports in the Enforcer area in addition to the automatic generation of supports. This offers more flexibility in support painting.
- New Slicing setting: Generate Support Enforcer Only.
○ When the option is turned on, ideaMaker will only generate support in the Enforcer area.
○ If no Enforcer area is drawn, then no support will be generated.
- New setting in Support Structure panel: Support Enforcer Only.
○ When the option is turned on, the software will only generate pillars in the Enforcer area
○ If no Enforcer area is drawn, then no support will be generated.
- Drastically increased the calculation speed during painting for dense triangular area.
2) Gcode Preview Now Supports G2/G3 Arc Commands
3) When Support Solid Base Layers Is Turned on, the Support infill Type that Touches the Base Plate Is Always Rectilinear, Allowing Better Contact Between the Bottom of the Support and the Base Plate
4) Optimized the Overlap Structure of Wipe Tower and Support
- Before Optimization:
- After Optimization:
5) Added GIF Animation Tips to Some of the Functions on the Toolbar
- Lay Flat; Free Cut; Support; Support Painting; Texture.
2. DLP New and Optimized Functions
1) Added New Printer Type: Raise3D DF2+
- The DF2+ utilizes true DLP technology, delivering industry-standard accuracy, consistency, and reliability. With a print speed of 100 mm/h, it is ideal for rapid prototyping and small batch manufacturing, enabling multiple design iterations within the same day. The DF2+ printer’s broad resin portfolio unlocks new possibilities tailored to specific applications. Learn More about the DF2+ here.
2) Optimized DLP Support. DLP Support Will not Be Affected by Anti-aliasing and Edge Blurring, Enhancing Support Performance
3. DLP Slicing Template Update
1) DF2 Slicing Template Update
- Liqcreate Dental Model Pro Beige
- Liqcreate Premium Model
- Henkel LOCTITE 3D IND147 Black
4. Other New or Improved Functions
1) Added Comments to the Corresponding Wipe Gcode When Wipe Function Is Enabled
2) Interface Optimization of Upload to Printer
3) Supported the Mechanism of Automatic Update of IP Address of Printers in Bookmarks
- When the serial number of a printer automatically scanned matches the serial number in the Bookmarks list, the system automatically synchronizes and updates the IP address of that printer, enhancing the security of device management and improving user experience.
4) When Using External Terminal Command to Invoke the Plug-in, the External Terminal Command Needs to Be Executed to Generate a New Gcode File before Uploading to the LAN Printer
5. Bug Fixes
- Fixed the issue in FFF that the tree support did not consider negative coordinates (coordinate origin in the center).
- Fixed the issue in FFF that the first layer of the second group of models was empty when printing with the right nozzle sequence.
- Fixed the issue in FFF that some of the pillar supports exceeded the printer height and penetrated the model.
- Fixed the issue that when Retraction During Wipe was enabled, some retraction values were calculated incorrectly.
- Fixed the issue that pillar supports in the overlapped area with the modifier was not disabled when tree support was enabled.
- Fixed the issue that GCode preview did not show the Wipe path properly.
