🎉 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.

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 can pick a good restaurant in the area your staying. I can pick you up around 17:30. Let me know if that works for you.

🚀 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.
The first public preview of PrusaSlicer 3.0 is out. ✨ We rewrote a huge part of it from scratch - with a completely redesigned UI, a project system, profiles, much better performance, safe plugins, and much more. blog.prusa3d.com/prusaslicer…
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

🎉 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.
