v4.14.0

New Features

• Enabling Orca (Orca Slicer and Snapmaker Orca) to transfer G-code via Wi-Fi
  • Luban is the transfer station enabling Orca to communicate with your machine through the OctoPrint protocol (protocol: Octo/Kilpper; port: 5000). When you have connected your machine to Luban via a Wi-Fi network, you can transfer the G-code generated by Orca via Wi-Fi and start printing.
    

Improvements

• Optimized CNC tool names

  • Enhanced the clarity of specifications for CNC tools and adjusted their names to align with the official store nomenclature, allowing users to quickly identify the necessary tools for CNC machining.
    

• A150 machine now supports 2W and 20W laser modules.
  

• Optimized Mac icon.

• Disabled DXF file auto-scaling

  • Disabled the automatic scaling feature for DXF files imported into Luban, preserving the original aspect ratio and dimensions of the designs.
    

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue that prevented laser and CNC functions from generating tool paths on Windows systems.
• Fixed an issue that prevented 3MF files from opening in the Luban case library.

Full Changelog: v4.13.0...v4.13.1-beta.2

v.4.13.1-beta.1

June 18, 2024, v4.13.1-beta.1

Fix

• Fix the issue where laser/cnc might fail to generate toolpath on the Windows platform.

v4.13.0

June 18, 2024, v4.13.0
Feature

• 2W Laser Module (2W Infrared Laser Module) compatible with (WiFi and serial):

  • Snapmaker 2.0 A250/A250T/F250 and Snapmaker 2.0 A350/A350T/F350
  • Artisan
  • Ray
    
    

• 2W Laser Module Default Print Profile

• A-B Position (support for 20W，40W，2W Laser Module)
  

  • Operation Steps: After connecting the machine, open the AB Position panel. Use the panel to control the module's positioning to the rectangular printing area. After clicking the panel's completion button, the canvas will highlight the printing area, and you can print based on the position information on the canvas.
  • Note: It is worth noting that AB Position is essentially a generated ordinary G-code, just its work-origin is the mechanical coordinate point (0, 0). After completing AB positioning and resetting the work-origin, you need to redefine the worki-origin as the mechanical coordinate point (0, 0), or click the AB positioning panel's completion button again to set it automatically - this will set the working origin to the mechanical coordinate point (0, 0).
    It is worth noting that AB Position is essentially a generated ordinary G-code, but its work origin is set to the machine coordinate point (0,0). If the work origin is redefined after completing AB position, the work origin of the AB position G-code (i.e., the machine coordinate point (0,0)) will be overwritten. You will need to redefine the work origin to the machine coordinate point (0,0), or you can click the "Done" button on the AB position panel again to automatically set the work origin to the machine coordinate point (0,0). Otherwise, the laser processing may fail.

• Ray Add Control Mode.
  

  • Note:

    • Maintain Motor Power-on Mode: When you enter this mode, the machine's execution head will be in a powered-on state, and it cannot be pushed during this time.
    • The G-code generated under control mode must be executed while the machine is in the power-on mode. Conversely, the G-code generated under manual mode must be used while the machine is not in the power-on mode

• CNC 4mm tool Print Profile added.
  Improvements

• Improvement: 200W CNC Module Default Print Profile.

• Improvement: Artisan machine settings, hide dual-extrusion for Snapmaker 2.0 select feature for better user experience.

• Improvement: Artisan 20W and 40W Laser Module input material Thickness print.

• Improvement: Artisan 20W and 40W Laser Module will turn off crosshair light after start cutting or engraving.

• Improvement: SM2 auto turn off laser after machine disconnected (The disconnection was initiated by Luban).

• Improvement: Added and improved Chinese and German language support for the software interface.

Bug Fixes

• Fix: Filled-Line gcode go to print position with workpeed instead of jogspeed.
• Fix: Reconnected machine will clear pre-states: modules and cameracapture.
• Fix: Saving laser project file will contain auxiliaryAirPump, halfDiodeMode, constantPowerMode, initialHeightOffset.
• Fix: Can not select model after using Rotate on Face (3dp).
• Fix: Issue with rotating module running border on the B-axis with a value of 0 in specific contexts.
