CHANGELOG

Version 4.5.0 brings a redesigned phone experience, clearer filament setup, safer multi-material export, new printer profiles, and broad slicing, export, and stability improvements.

Highlights

Phone interface
- The app now switches to a phone-optimized interface when running on phones.
- Opening and saving scenes, onboarding, machine selection, printer settings, feedback, slicing, progress, sliced file preview, documentation, tutorials, and post-export views now have small-screen layouts.
- Bottom sheets, larger touch targets, round buttons, phone-specific sliders, better side-menu behavior, and improved portrait and landscape handling make the phone UI easier to use.
- Many dialogs and popups were also tuned for smaller screens.

Filament materials and print processes
- Filament settings are now split into separate material and process profiles, making it easier to tell which settings describe the filament and which describe the print.
- Process profiles support names, reset actions, compatible nozzle diameters, clearer categories, and better integration in printer and material configuration views.
- Default machines now include material and process profiles, giving new printer setups better starting points.

Multi-material setup and export
- Multi-material workflows now track swatches, physical tool slots, nozzle sizes, selected processes, and assigned materials more reliably.
- These assignments are saved in app settings and scenes, so printer setup is preserved across sessions.
- The app now warns about unresolved used channels and blocks slicing or export until each used channel has an assigned tool and material.

Plate, color, paint, and preview workflows
- Multi-plate export handling was improved, with per-plate selection state used in resin and filament slicing/export flows.
- Color swatches are more consistent across material selectors, color picker presets, material slots, and paint workflows.
- Paint channels can be saved as swatches and then bound to physical tool slots, making color planning more flexible.

Printer support
- Added profiles for Qidi Max 4, Qidi Q2, Qidi Q2C, Anycubic Kobra 3 V2, Anycubic Kobra 3 Max, Anycubic Kobra S1 Max, Anycubic Kobra X, Anycubic Kobra 4 and PioCreat Halot X1.
- Material-change G-code support was improved for Anycubic Kobra 3 Combo and the Centauri Carbon profile with upgrade kit.
- The Sovol S08 profile name was corrected to SV08, and printer thumbnails were improved.

Slicing, export, and generation tools
- G-code export now handles additional placeholders, preserves material metadata more reliably, and avoids problematic standalone tool-change codes.
- Wipe tower planning was improved with flushing volumes, prime-tower purge mode, fallback settings, and better positioning.
- Generated mesh and drawing tools received fixes for model selection, undo/redo behavior, payment overlays, credit display, panel binding, and crash handling when a user has no credits.

Additional improvements
- Added default PLA and PETG materials for 0.2 mm, 0.6 mm, and 0.8 mm nozzles.
- Added G-code placeholders for current_extruder, initial_layer_print_height, and outer_wall_volumetric_speed.
- Fixed CXDLP4 R009 layer decoding, flow calibration per-part overrides, and crashes related to resin machines without defaults, queue image requests, stale transform selections after export, and no-credit mesh generation.
- Improved notifications, feedback submission, machine search, recent filename display, documentation, tutorial tiles, onboarding, dark theme styling, buttons, popups, material combo boxes, and editable G-code fields.
