🎉 3MF Export 1.1.0 for HueForge: release notes 3MF Export 1.1.0 opens your project in the slicer you exported for, and lets you choose which slicer slot each filament loads into. It also centers models on more printers. ✨ New features 🚀 Open in the slicer you chose: Open 3MF after export now launches the slicer you exported for, not whichever app your computer links to .3mf files. If your slicer isn't found, you're asked to locate it once. On Linux, Flatpak installs of Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer and PrusaSlicer are found too. 🎨 Choose the filament order: the new Filament Order row has an Edit… button for picking which slicer slot each filament loads into. Your order is kept until you change filaments or open a different project, and Reset returns it to HueForge's order. 💡 A one-time tip explains the Open 3MF after export option. 🛠️ Improvements 📁 Safer file names: project names are cleaned up before they become file and folder names, including trailing spaces, characters Windows doesn't allow, and reserved names such as PRN. The 3MF is saved in the same folder HueForge uses. 📐 Bed-fit warning follows Rotate 90 Degrees: the "too large for the bed" warning updates as soon as you turn rotation on or off. ⚡ The Export 3MF dialog opens faster: about five times faster the first time, and almost instantly after that. 🐛 Fixes 🎯 Models are centered on the bed for Flashforge Adventurer 5M, 5M Pro and A5, and for imported PrusaSlicer-family profiles with an offset bed. 🛒 Get it: shop.thehueforge.com/pages/3… 📖 Docs and support: support.3mfexport.com #HueForge #3DPrinting #BambuStudio #OrcaSlicer #PrusaSlicer

If we were competing for smallest catch of the day, I smoked em all @AdditiveAtom @ian_smalley @hueforge @AdditiveAtom

I made the choice this year to take some time off as relax with the people that help me at shows the rest of the year. I will miss everyone going to Philly this weekend, but I needed a break, so I took it with some of my friends I made 3D Printing. Have a great @3DPrintopia and post lots of pictures!

ColorSmith Plugin is out! Get it at shop.thehueforge.com/pages/c… Available for Window, macOS and Linux - Requires HueForge v0.9.4.3 or later to run. I'll try and get a full Devlog released this weekend but I've got to get on the road fairly early tomorrow so details will have to wait. Meanwhile - have at it and I'd love to get your feedback on what features you like, features you want, and bugs you find. Thanks for your patience!

I gotta try the HueForge addon once I back to Japan! shop.thehueforge.com/pages/3… @AdditiveAtom @hueforge

🚀 HueForge 3MF Export Plugin v1.0.9 is out -shop.thehueforge.com/pages/3… 🎨 Smarter multi-color prints. Filament-change pauses now match physical reality — one AMS/MMU swap = one pause, regardless of how many color changes that swap covers. A 7-color print on a 4-slot AMS used to pause 3 times mid-print. Now it pauses exactly once, right before the swap. 🔄 New "Rotate HueForge 90°" checkbox in the export dialog. Rotates your HueForge(s) 90° inside the 3MF so you don't have to re-orient the print in your slicer after export. ✨ Preset quality. Standardized top, bottom, and infill patterns across every shipped preset. Per-pair Bambu/Orca flush volumes — purge is now computed from the actual filament colors on each side of a swap. Dark → dark uses less purge than dark → white. 🖨️ 10 more OrcaSlicer Bambu presets: A1, A1 mini, H2D, H2S, P1P, P1S, P2S, X1, X1 Carbon, X2D. The full Bambu lineup is now available on Orca — same coverage Bambu Studio has had. 💡 Two one-time tips on first launch: how to set 3MF as your default output format, and how to set your OS's default .3mf handler. Both dismissible and remembered. ⚠️ Better error messages. "Can't write here" now surfaces in the 3MF Export dialog instead of failing silently. 📋 Session panel polish. The 3MF Export session panel now tells you why it's inactive with a plain-language banner, and auto-activates the 3MF panel when you clear the Use STL Output option.

I verified the PrusaSlicer 3.0 Public Previews is compatible with the HueForge 3MF Export plugin. Exported PrusaSlicer 3MFs totally load and slice as expected.

Lot's of new things coming to HueForge. I'll be having Office Hours at 8:30pm Tuesday September 1st EDT to go over them and answer questions about how to use them etc. Come hang out and get your questions answered. I'll post a link as it gets closer.

TD1 Interface Tool: Standalone with Firmware 2.0.2 is now live on for my Paid Patreon Supporters with full public release planned for 8/24/2026 patreon.com/AJAX_3D/posts/td…

🎉 HueForge 3MF Export Plugin v1.0.8 is out 🏷️ Renamed: "Orca Flashforge" → "Flashforge Studio" Flashforge's new official product name, applied across the UI, docs, and website. Existing selections carry over automatically. 🔍 Better 3MF import auto-detection Re-importing a 3MF now auto-picks the source slicer for three more families: • Flashforge Studio (native + plugin exports) • Anycubic Slicer Next (via ASN's unique slice_info header) • Snapmaker Orca (dual-signal so plain-Orca users on the community U1 preset aren't misdetected) 🎯 Import UX fix Nozzle Diameter + Printer Profile dropdowns now switch to match the imported profile. Previously they'd stay stuck on the old nozzle when importing a different size (e.g. 0.4 → 0.6). 🪜 HRM layer height fix (Height Range Modifier) Base-region layer_height now snaps to the slicer's actual ladder (e.g. 0.20 instead of 0.1333). No more repeating-decimal values. Works across 0.2 / 0.4 / 0.6 / 0.8 mm nozzles. 🖨️ 9 new / refreshed bundled printer presets: • Flashforge Studio: Adventurer 5M, 5M Pro, A5, Creator 5, Creator 5 Pro (+ refreshed AD5X) • Orca Slicer: Creality K1 Max • PrusaSlicer: COREONEMMU3 @COREONE variant ✨ UI polish: the "Total Printer Slots" tooltip now shows when hovering the label, not just the spinbox. Grab v1.0.8 → shop.thehueforge.com/pages/3…

Learn about HueForge and the 3MF Export plugin this week at #OpenSauce 2026. Find my exhibitor table in Fiesta.

Yo @MandicReally we found your doppelganger at #opensaucelive. @AdditiveAtom the nose isn't right but you get me. I have the authority for making nose jokes, so don't even try haters..

I have landed in San Francisco for #OpenSauce 2026. This weekend I am excited to share what I have been up to in the world of filament painting with @hueforge

3MF Export Plugin v1.0.6 is Now Available What's new: - QiDi Studio is now supported — the 11th slicer the 3MF Export Plugin supports. Along with the new writer, three QiDi Studio printer profiles ship out of the box (Q2, X-Max 4, X-Plus 4) and QiDi Studio 3MFs are auto-detected on import. - FlatForge and ColorDrop exports now include a properly-sized prime tower automatically — no more manual enablement in the slicer, and no more color bleed between filament changes. More printer profiles built-in: - Prusa Slicer — Prusa CORE ONE — 4 variants: MMU3, COREONEL MMU3, INDX4T, INDX8T - Prusa Slicer — Prusa XL5IS — replaces the older "Original Prusa XL - 5T Input Shaper" preset - Bambu Studio - Bambu Lab A2L — new preset (330×320 mm bed) - QiDi Studio — new slicer family with 3 printers: Q2, X-Max 4, X-Plus 4 (also auto-detects on import) Cleaner defaults across the board. Bundled printer presets have been standardized to produce compact, consistent output that opens cleanly in every supported slicer. Better filament matching. Thousands of new filament brand mappings so your HueForge filament picks land on the exact slicer preset instead of a generic fallback. More reliable Prime tower position, rotation, and geometry now stick to what the preset says — several silent overrides have been fixed. More information can be had at shop.thehueforge.com/pages/3…

piped.video/sxPjuJzqJnk?si=kY0y… Check out the latest, good conversation about AB2047. Adding spyware to every 3D printer before you can use it is wrong and infringes on your rights without do a thing. If your goal is to reduce deaths why not push breathalyzers that report to the authorities in every vehicle before you drive, and arrest those who fail that breathalyzer since you’d be trying to start a car with intent to commit a crime- we’d save sooo many lives. /s

3MF Export Plugin v1.0.5 is Now Available What's new: -No more purge-bucket collisions on Bambu printers. Exports are now offset to clear the front-left exclusion zone on Bambu beds, with a paired back-shift on Y to keep the model centered. I call this feature the Exclusion Zone Avoidance System -Cleaner base layers. Fixed Height Range Modifier math so the slicer actually honors your base thickness. HRM Layer heights now snap to whole-number layer counts and respect your printer profile's max layer-height cap. -HugeForge tile mode polish. No more bogus "doesn't fit on bed" warning when using tile mode (which is supposed to exceed single-bed bounds). "Open 3MF after Export" option now available in all export modes. -Anycubic Slicer Next: new printers bundled out of the box. The bundled presets now nclude the Anycubic Kobra S1 Max and Anycubic Kobra X. -UI cleanup - Tighter, cleaner dropdown menus. Removed the empty icon column on the left of every dropdown item, restored proper font scaling, and reduced left padding. More Information at: shop.thehueforge.com/pages/3…
