Hello,
I'm finished with all intended features of the next host version. Having made quite a lot of changes, I would like to get some feedback if everything works as expected. You can get the beta version here:
Repetier-Host 0.90 beta
What is changed:
- Requires now .NET 4.0, so XP users need Service Pack 3
- Object placement got much improvements.
- New models get scanned for modeling flaws and simple errors like double triangles, invalid triangles, normal directions get repaired. In the info box you see if the repaired or original model is viewed. Clicking on modified switches between the two models.
- You can split stl objects containing several Objects.
- You can import/export obj formated files.
- Slic3r is given the obj file, so manifoldness is the same as in the host.
- 3d viewing has changed. F5 fits the loaded object on screen.
- Cut Objects to see inside the object
- Show open edges/intersecting triangles and wrong normals (other color)
- Better viewing of edges
- More predefined viewing angles
- Fixed G92 bug
- Fixed many small issues
- More options for reset on connect/emergency making connections faster and works on more boards without problems.
- Belt/leadscrow calculator
If you see something is not working as it should please let me know. If it is a wrong handling of an stl file also provide the stl file. I think some trinagle intersections are not detected correct, but I haven't found a simple model where I could verify that. But I'm working on it. So if if you have a simple model with obvious intersections not shown let me know.
I will not add new features to that version, but I'm always open for new ideas in upcoming versions.
