PrusaSlicer 2.6.0-alpha3

Summary

This is the 2nd public alpha release of PrusaSlicer 2.6.0. It mostly fixes the most critical bugs found in previous 2.6.0-alpha2. For new features in the 2.6.0 series, please read the release log of PrusaSlicer 2.6.0-alpha2.

To let you enjoy the alpha without worries, the alpha builds save their profiles into PrusaSlicer-alpha directory, so you may use the alpha side by side with the current release without ruining your production configuration.

Improvements with respect to 2.6.0-alpha2

  • Minimal connector size in the Cut tool was reduced to 1 mm #9500
  • Icons were added to radio buttons in the Cut tool to make selection of connector type more clear.
  • Windows and Linux specific: Downloading from Printables.com requires the user to allow this feature in Preferences for a specific executable. An extra dialog notifying about this is now shown on startup when the new version is first run.

Bugs fixed with respect to 2.6.0-alpha2

  • Downloader preferences options were crashing in G-Code Viewer #9496
  • Cut function did not correctly apply tolerances to pins and holes #9554
  • Fixed unintended path connections in Extra Perimeters when gap fill was applied #9480
  • Fixed occasional crashes with specific brim geometries #9513#9489#9543
  • Fixed crashes of stability alert checker, when empty print object was passed to it
  • Fixed occasional crashes when using modifier meshes #9466#9511#9518
  • Fix of a crash with sequential print and raft #9464#9509#9522
  • macOS specific: PrusaSlicer 2.6.0-alpha2 has issues starting in certain languages because of locales-related issues. A temporary workaround was implemented and the application now starts with English locales (an error message is shown on startup). The issue is being investigated further #9476
  • A validation check was added for scenarios not yet supported in the alpha: Organic supports do not work with variable layer height, Avoid crossing perimeters option and avoid crossing curled overhangs cannot be enabled together #9528
  • Contour shown in Cut tool did not show correctly when the model was scaled.

RE: PrusaSlicer 2.6.0-alpha3

You don’t. You just run the exe file of the version you want to run.   The alpha and betas don’t really have the full installer that a full release has.
