Today I'm launching 3MF Translator to the world 🚀 It's what I've been hard at work on, and I'm proud of how it turned out. 3MF Translator 1.0: 3D Printing's Universal Translator. Ever found a project made for someone else's slicer and printer? A MakerWorld project set up for a Bambu Lab printer when you print on a Prusa, or a PrusaSlicer project when you use SnapOrca? Until now that meant exporting the parts, rebuilding the project in your own slicer, assigning every filament again, redoing the color changes and hoping the settings matched. Then doing it all again for your next printer. 3MF Translator does it for you. Open the .3mf, pick your printers, click Translate, and get a native project for each one, with the plates, filaments, colors and settings already in place. What it does: • Native projects, not just meshes. Plates, objects and parts, filament assignments and colors, color changes, height range modifiers and your print settings, written in the target slicer's own format with your printer's own presets. • Every printer you own in one click. Save each printer once, group them in tabs like "Shop" and "Farm", and one Translate makes a ready project for all of them. • Fits your filament slots. Eight colors and a four-slot AMS? Reorder, merge and recolor the filaments to match your AMS, CFS, MMU or tool changer. Color changes follow. • Plates that fit your bed. Translate every plate or only the ones you pick. It warns you when a plate won't fit, and Rotate 90° turns the plates when that makes them fit. • See it first. Every plate in 3D, in its filament colors with the color changes. • Opens in the right slicer when it's done. Twelve slicers, both ways: Bambu Studio, Orca Slicer, Snapmaker Orca, Creality Print, Anycubic Slicer Next, Elegoo Slicer, Flash Studio Desktop, QIDI Studio, PrusaSlicer, QIDISlicer, SuperSlicer and UltiMaker Cura. Windows, macOS and Linux. Your files never leave your computer, and your original file is never changed. One purchase with a year of updates, and your version keeps working after that.

🚀 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.
