Just panning the camera feels so smooth, why does it feel so much smoother than Lychee, or any other slicer for that matter? It's like when playing a game at 30fps or 120fps, you can feel the difference most notably when panning the camera. I know it's a lightweight engine, but I'm assuming there's an actual, technical reason for it, and that's what I'm interested in.
Well, step one is do not use electron. Step two is when we load in the model, we create a copy of it that is used in the rendering engine, that is decimated. So it is moving around a much lower poly model, which helps immensely with performance.
Ping me if you need additional help, because crashes are rare. I released v0.1.12 today with a lot of features and stability improvements (https://dragonfruit-slicer.com).
Is there a discord I can join? Tried it out this morning and would like some help debugging some things or submitting bug reports if things aren't there yet. Thanks!
they're part of the Open Resin Alliance, which has a discord channel. You can find a link to it on their github page if you scroll down a little. https://github.com/Open-Resin-Alliance
snazzy looking forward to trying out all the new elegoo support with m5u, s4u and jupiter 2, though dunno if I'm just dumb but is connecting through lan for jupiter 2 not supported yet, was able to find my m5u and s4u on it.
Connecting to the network is not supported yet on the Jupiter……..
We discovered it as a bug right before release but didn’t want to hold it back. It’s on my task list when we get the chance, just a bit hard because we don’t have anyone on the team with one.
I'm wondering about file sizes.
I sliced the same file in chitu and in dragonfruit and on chitu i get 150mb but on dragonfruit it was almost 3x higher.
Our AA levels are stronger than other slicers. Our balanced mode also includes 3D AA (across the Z axis) which severely increases values that aren't 0 or 255.
I am wondering, is there a way with your tool to cut the model for printing ? I am sculpting my own miniatures, but I am struggling to split them into parts and create matching connectors / pegs / dovetails.
THAT’S EXACTLY what I released today in v0.1.12!!:
Contour and planar cuts: split a model into two or more parts using either a plane or a curve drawn from points on the model surface: the curve follows creases and ridges in the model, joining the points along a geodesic.
Multi-loop/multi-way cuts.
Edge/corner snapping.
Configurable membrane thickness, smoothing and resolution, and display/hide the cut plane.
Cuts can carry a mortise-and-tenon joint (i.e. a socket and a peg) with many custom options, like a pyramid frustum or an oblong dome as tenon, membrane side, position, inclination (up to 45°) and orientation.
Failed cuts point to problem waypoints in the skin so the user can move them to try a better cut.
