## v0.8 Pre-release
|
|
|
|
EXPERIMENTAL BUILD - LIMITED TESTING
|
|
Based on Snapmaker Orca v2.2.4
|
|
|
|
v0.8 full spectrum pre-release focuses on filament mixer color accuracy and Linux AppImage packaging.
|
|
|
|
This has had limited testing on the Snapmaker U1 via the community.
|
|
|
|
### What's New in v0.8
|
|
|
|
#### Filament Mixer Color Blending (v0.8)
|
|
- Replaced the legacy RYB blend path with FilamentMixer.
|
|
- Updated mixed-filament preview/display color computation to use FilamentMixer interpolation.
|
|
- Improved mixed-filament color consistency for generated combinations.
|
|
- Retained legacy RYB conversion helpers in code as reference.
|
|
|
|
#### Linux AppImage Packaging (new in v0.8)
|
|
- Added Linux release artifact: `Snapmaker_Orca_Linux_V2.2.4.AppImage`.
|
|
- AppImage is now the primary Linux release artifact for end users.
|
|
- Current Linux build target is `x86_64`.
|
|
- Current runtime baseline is glibc `2.38+`.
|
|
- `Snapmaker_Orca.tar` remains available as an advanced/manual fallback.
|
|
|
|
### Installation
|
|
|
|
#### Windows
|
|
1. Download `Snapmaker_Orca.zip`.
|
|
2. Extract to a folder.
|
|
3. Run the executable.
|
|
|
|
#### macOS
|
|
1. Download the macOS build (`arm64` for Apple Silicon or `x86_64` for Intel).
|
|
2. If the release asset is a `.zip`, unzip it first.
|
|
3. Open the `.dmg`.
|
|
4. Drag `Snapmaker_Orca.app` into `Applications`.
|
|
5. Launch the app from `Applications`.
|
|
|
|
#### Linux (AppImage)
|
|
1. Download `Snapmaker_Orca_Linux_V2.2.4.AppImage`.
|
|
2. Run `chmod +x Snapmaker_Orca_Linux_V2.2.4.AppImage`.
|
|
3. Run `./Snapmaker_Orca_Linux_V2.2.4.AppImage`.
|
|
|
|
### Warning
|
|
- Use at your own risk.
|
|
- May produce incorrect G-code in edge cases.
|
|
- Mixed-filament behavior is still experimental in some scenarios.
|
|
- This release has had limited real-printer validation.
|
|
|
|
### Features Not Yet Fully Tested
|
|
1. Linux AppImage behavior across all desktop environments/distributions.
|
|
2. Mixed-filament visual color matching across different filament brands/materials.
|
|
|
|
### Known Issues
|
|
- Older Linux distributions may fail to run this AppImage due to glibc mismatch.
|
|
- Some systems may require `libfuse2` for AppImage execution.
|
|
- On-screen color blend preview may not exactly match physical print results.
