Release Notes – Changelog of Simplify3D (S3D) v4.1

Version 4.1.0

• Prime Pillar and Ooze Shield have been upgraded to fully support up to 6 separate extruders
• New Prime Pillar and Ooze Shield construction provides better stability, improved bonding between layers, and reduced material contamination
• Improved priming sequences ensure that a tool is always primed at the beginning of each layer during multi-extrusion prints
• Print time estimates have been greatly improved by simulating the actual behavior of the printer firmware for increased accuracy
• New intelligent bridging algorithms utilize the model topology to automatically select the best bridging toolpaths
• Bridging toolpaths will now be added, even when using concentric external fill patterns
• Improved bridging behavior when dealing with multiple overlapping models
• Sequential printing can now be used with multi-extrusion prints, allowing you to print multiple dual extrusion groups on a single build platform with reduced stringing between parts
• When printing multiple parts, the raft for each model is now printed sequentially with its corresponding part for improved adhesion
• Improved ability to use define separate Additions settings (rafts, skirts, etc) for nearby parts on the print bed
• Solid layer regions have been optimized so that they are only added when absolutely needed
• New solid layer toolpaths improve bonding between perimeters on the layers above and below, creating stronger parts in the Z-direction
• Movement sequences have been further improved to avoid knocking over small parts when changing layers
• Faster preheat times for multi-extruder builds
• Fan and temperature per-layer setpoints now work more intuitively in conjunction with the Variable Settings Wizard
• The layer number that is displayed during Preview Mode has been updated so that it is more intuitive for multi-process prints
• Feature type comments in the G-Code file have been updated with a new prefix for easier searching and parsing
• Using a first layer height below 100% will now correctly reduce the amount of extruded material (alternatively, a negative global Z-axis offset can be used to lower the first layer while still extruding the same amount of material)
• Drag-and-drop can now be used to load a new G-Code toolpath preview while already in Preview Mode
• Improved interface usability for machines with extremely large build volumes
• Added support for a wider range of OBJ files
• Improved slicing for degenerate models, allowing these common mesh issues to be automatically healed by the software
• Numerous improvements for processing extremely large or complex build files
• The custom post-processing scripting engine available in the software has been optimized for faster execution times
• BFB toolpath formats have been significantly improved for quicker exporting
• Numerous performance and memory usage improvements
• New Portuguese language translation available by going to Help > Change Language
• Improved translation consistency for French, German, Italian, Japanese, and Spanish translations
• Software installers now include complete language translations, allowing you to select your preferred language during setup for improved accessibility
• Mac installer has been updated to be full 64-bit to avoid any potential warnings during installation
• Fixed a bug that was causing slow wipe speeds in certain situations
• Skirt and ooze shield toolpaths have been improved to remove extremely short movements
• Resolved an issue that had impacted FFF settings import from previously exported G-Code files
• Over 100 additional bug fixes across many different parts of the application for issues identified by our community
• Added support for over 50 new 3D printers including the Alfawise U20, Anycubic Chiron, Creality Ender 3 Pro, Creality CR-X, FlashForge Adventurer 3, FlashForge Guider II, FlashForge Inventor II, Geeetech A10, Geeetech A30, PowerSpec Ultra 2.0, Qidi Technology X-pro, TEVO Flash, Ultimaker S5, and many more
