- newDiagonal printing. A part that prints better tilted can now be stood on its corner, with a small flat facet cut where it meets the bed. It's offered as a variant with a plain note about the trade-off, never forced, since only you know whether that corner shows.
- newTall diagonal stances grow break-away fins: thin blades that steady the lean during the print and snap off after.
- newA new floating check fails any region whose first layer would print on thin air, something the overhang check can't see.
- improvedHold the pointer over a slider's name to see what that parameter does.
changelog
What's new
Every nurb release, newest first. Install once, then nurb update keeps you current.
- improvedSliders are named in your words. Call it a lip when you describe the part and the slider says lip, not something technical.
- improvedYour AI asks for the permissions it needs once, up front, instead of stopping to ask in the middle of the first build.
- fixedThree viewer fixes: the section cut spans the whole part, a stale camera bug is gone, and the checks panel no longer blinks between rebuilds.
- fixedWhen your browser can't do 3D, the viewer says so and explains what to try, instead of showing a blank page.
- improvednurb notices when your installed skill is older than the tool and says how to bring it current.
- newExporting an assembly downloads one zip containing each of its parts.
- newAssemblies. Put parts together and check the motion between them, so a lid that would collide with its hinge gets caught before you print it.
- newnurb.dev, with a live demo you can drag, a one-line installer, and nurb update to upgrade everything in one go.
- fixedA typed slider value now arrives exactly as typed, Chrome no longer hangs while connecting to the viewer, and the viewer never restores an old camera onto an empty scene.
- newVariants. Named configurations of a part you can flip between in the viewer, each with a link that opens exactly that configuration.
- improvedYour AI starts the viewer at the beginning of every session and keeps its link in every reply.
- improvedA viewer design pass: a cleaner toolbar and clearer icons on the printability checks.
- newThe viewer's update badge upgrades nurb when you click it.
- newA double-clickable launcher that opens the viewer without touching a terminal.
- newPrinter profiles can choose which file formats an export produces.
- newYour AI can now inspect a part the way the print checks see it, with every finding tied to the exact face it's about.
- improvedWhen a chamfer won't fit, the error names the real cause and the edges involved, not a cryptic kernel code.
- improvedThe viewer shows the finished part, chamfers and all, by default, with a toggle for the raw draft.
- newAn installable skill that teaches any AI assistant to design printable parts with nurb.
- improvedYour AI asks for real measurements before it models a fit, instead of guessing.
- newThe viewer shows its version and quietly mentions when a newer one exists.
- newThe first release. Describe a part in plain words, watch your AI model it live in the browser, drag sliders, get checks against real print physics, and download a file your printer understands.
