PrusaSlicer 2.9.4 - Filament Edition (A complete filament workflow)  

RE: PrusaSlicer 2.9.4 - Filament Edition (A complete filament workflow)

Please use this version to test: https://github.com/hyiger/filament-db/releases/tag/v1.7.3

Hi Hyiger.

Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance yesterday to go through your changes and test them.

I woke up this morning and my forum inbox was full of notifications.

You fixed the problem! IT WORKS! 😍 😎 😎 😎 😎 😎 

I created two test filaments, and they’re displayed exactly as they are in the PrusaSlicer Calibration! NICE.

Changes to the filament data set are correctly reflected after PrusaSlicer is restarted. The changes aren’t displayed immediately in PrusaSlicer.

Conversely, it works instantly with a single click. Changes made in PrusaSlicer that you save are immediately updated in the filament database.

Now I can start testing everything. A huge thank you to you, Hyiger! That was certainly a lot of work in the world of Windows.

And reminded me of how much I hate Windows 🤣 

Glad it is working for you and thanks again for testing!

I only have an iPhone. Everything else is Microsoft....

One more question. In which file can I edit the content I want to translate? Where is the file located in the directory, or where does Windows install it when installing “Filament DB”?I'm familiar with English, but German is my native language.

The filaments are stored in a database. Probably the best way to do this is to go into settings and scroll down there is  "Download Snapshot" this will create a backup file which you can edit and then "Restore from Snapshot". I haven't tried editing it but it's JSON format so shouldn't be too hard.

I've thought about multi-language support. I could use an AI to translate the app to support German (and other languages). My German is very rusty so would need help proofreading it.

Multi-language support has now been added. It's machine translated German so please let me know if something doesn't look right.

You can pick up the new version here: https://github.com/hyiger/filament-db/releases/tag/v1.8.0

RE:

Forgot to add, the language files are built into the app itself, they're not separate files you can find or edit on disk. To add or change a language, it needs to be done in the source code and a new version released.

RE: PrusaSlicer 2.9.4 - Filament Edition (A complete filament workflow)

I'd love to buy you a beer to celebrate your achievements and hard work so far—unfortunately, that's a few miles away 🙂

V1.8.0 is the best one yet!

A huge thank you!

RE:

Been plugging away at this over the weekend so here is what is currently implemented:

Filament DB 

download release

• Filament Management — Full CRUD for filament profiles with temperatures, fan settings, shrinkage, retraction, PA, material properties (Tg, HDT, shore hardness), color variants with inheritance, and spool tracking with remaining weight/length
• Hardware Profiles — Define printers and nozzles, store per-printer per-nozzle calibration data (EM, PA, retraction, max volumetric speed)
• NFC Tag Support — Read, write, and erase OpenPrintTag NFC-V tags for physical spool identification
• PrusaSlicer Filament Edition — Live bidirectional sync of filament presets via REST API with per-nozzle calibration context and spool remaining warnings after slicing
• AI-Powered TDS Import — Extract filament specs from PDF or web technical data sheets using Gemini, Claude, or ChatGPT
• OpenPrintTag Database — Browse and import from the 11,000+ material community database with completeness scoring
• Import/Export — PrusaSlicer INI bundles, CSV/XLSX spreadsheets, Prusament QR codes, MongoDB Atlas, and full database snapshots
• Desktop App — Cross-platform Electron app (macOS, Windows, Linux including arm64) with offline, cloud, or hybrid database modes and automatic Atlas sync
• Multi-Language — English and German with extensible i18n framework
• REST API — Full API with interactive Swagger UI documentation

PrusaSlicer Filament Edition

download release

• 8 Calibration Tools — Temperature tower, max flow rate, extrusion multiplier, pressure advance, retraction, fan speed, flow rate, and shrinkage — all generate test objects directly on the build plate
• Filament DB Integration — Auto-loads filament presets from the server on startup, applies per-nozzle calibration when switching printers, and syncs preset changes back to the DB
• Spool Check Warning — After slicing, warns if any spool doesn't have enough remaining filament for the print
• XY Skew Correction — Native G-code-level skew compensation for printers with non-square axes
• CI/CD — Cross-platform builds (macOS universal, Windows installer, Linux AppImage + .deb) with automated releases

RE: PrusaSlicer 2.9.4 - Filament Edition (A complete filament workflow)

Next on the list:

• Support for Bambu NFC tags
• Integration into Bambu Studio
• Integration into OrcaSlicer

Looks like you have chosen the wrong package:
Release/pcsclite.node' (mach-o file, but is an incompatiblearchitecture (have 'arm64','¿ need'x86_64h'or'x86_64'))

What computer are you using?

RE: PrusaSlicer 2.9.4 - Filament Edition (A complete filament workflow)

Version 1.9.2 is available: http://github.com/hyiger/filament-db/releases/tag/v1.9.2

It fixes all the bugs raised by @jan.d.slay

Thanks Jan for reporting them!

PrusaSlicer Filament Edition v1.1.1 — What's New

STEP File Support

• STEP file import now enabled across all builds (macOS, Linux, Windows), matching Prusa's official release

Retraction Tower Overhaul

• Towers are now hollow (0% infill, no top layers) for clearer stringing evaluation
• Default spacing reduced to 34mm center-to-center
• Seam positioned inward so it doesn't interfere with stringing assessment
• Fixed off-by-one bug where the final retraction value was missing from the range

Calibration Menu

• Menu items can now be reordered by editing the [calibration_menu_order] section in PrusaSlicer.ini
• Default order follows the recommended calibration workflow: Temperature → Flow Rate → Pressure Advance → Retraction → Max FlowRate → Extrusion Multiplier → Fan Speed → Dimensional Accuracy

Max FlowRate

• Brim now enabled by default for better bed adhesion during the test

Bug Fixes

• Fixed crash when clicking Cancel in Preferences → Other
• Fixed OCCT compilation on CI (C++17 standard, Boost locale fix)
