Release Notes

This release focuses on one huge new feature 🎉

Layers! 👏

layers

@bobnik spawned this great new feature that allows you to intuitively compound other shapes and features into a single pattern, with the preview. Here are some things to notice:

  • You can create new layers with the New button, Import button or the copy button.
  • You can select a layer in the new layer area.
  • You can change the order of the layers by dragging them in the layer area.
  • You can still manipulate the layers with your mouse in the preview area, or with the options on the right.
  • All the previous features, grow, spin, track are all there.
  • A new "Point" feature was added to help connect-the-dots between patterns.

We have instructions (sort of) in the wiki 📓

You can more easily do pen drawings with gcode like this:

Program start code:

G0 Z10 F300                     ; lift the pen
G0 X{startx} Y{starty} F1200    ; Go above the starting location
G0 Z-0.4 F300                   ; Drop the pen to negative 0.4mm
G1 F1200                        ; set the speed to 20mm/s

Program end code:

G0 Z10 F300                 ; lift the pen
G0 X{minx} Y{maxy} F1200    ; Move the pen out of the way
