B9Create 3.0.0

• Release Notes 
• New Features
• You can use B9Create for up to a week without being connected to the Internet.
  • In Options > Licensing, the Use Offline Until date shows how long you can use B9Create without an Internet connection.
  • When B9Create is open and you have an Internet connection, B9Create periodically checks that your license is valid and updates the Use Offline Until date to be a week from now.
  • If you are not connected to the Internet and the current date is after the Use Offline Until date, B9Create will be unusable until you connect to the Internet and refresh your license.
• Options > Licensing shows how many computers are using your license key.
  • Seats shows the number of computers registered on your license key and how many more computers can register.
  • Unregister this computer allows you to remove your computer from your license key. This frees up a seat on your license so another computer can register with your license key.
• Two new ways to license B9Create have been added: Limited Network and Private Network. Contact support@b9c.com to enable either of these alternative licensing methods.
  • With Limited Network licensing, your computer never needs an Internet connection. Instead, annually transfer a license file to the offline computer running B9Create.
  • With Private Network licensing, a local licensing server runs on your private network. B9Create connects to the local server and never needs an Internet connection.
• Export STL in the File menu exports all 3D objects as a single STL file.
• Support packages have been added. A support package is a file containing diagnostic information that can help B9Creations Support troubleshoot your issues. Support packages allow you to write a message describing your problem, attach CPJx and STL files, copy application log files, and generate an optional report about your computer's hardware and drivers.
• B9Create can run on Windows 11.
• CPJx files over 500 MB can be transferred to a printer using B9Create.
• Can CPJx files from B9Create 2.0 be opened in B9Create 3.0.0? 
• CPJx files can be shared between B9Create 2.0 B9Create 3.0.0. Your existing CPJx files created with B9Create 2.0 can be opened and edited in B9Create 3.0.0, but they will need to be sliced in B9Create 3.0.0 to take advantage of the improved slicer. 
• Likewise, CPJx files created with B9Create 3.0.0 can be opened and edited in B9Create 2.0. 
•  
• Bug Fixes
• Fixes multiple slicing errors that could intermittently occur. These fixes require Firmware 95.0.0 or greater. (See Compatibility section)
  • “Splinter” artifacts on flat surfaces parallel to the build table
  • Certain areas that should have been holes printing as filled, and vice versa
  • Thin vertical lines that did not exist in the source STL file
• Model foundations have beveled edges instead of edges perpendicular to the build table.
• Model foundations match the scale of their parent model when printed.
• Support penetration depths are correctly loaded when opening CPJx file.
• Non-visible models do not contribute to the Build Height or Build Volume measurements.
• Model bounding boxes are built using the model's initial orientation on import, improving some related inconsistencies with Lay Flat and Auto Arrange.
• The Locate Missing STLs dialog preserves file paths when they are scrolled out of view.
• Importing an invalid STL file does not cause B9Create to crash.
• Negative values can be entered by typing into the Z Position input when the Allow Negative Z is enabled.
• STL and CPJx files with "#" or "." characters in their file paths are handled correctly.
• The Printer Details View appears after slicing even if one of the connected printers has a password.
• Display issues with button sizes, image resolution, and text inputs have been fixed for high-resolution monitors.
•  
• B9Create (3.0.0 and all future versions) and B9Create 2.0 Are Separate Applications
• B9Create 3.0.0 changes the name of the application from “B9Create 2.0” to just “B9Create”. Your Windows operating system sees them as two completely separate applications.
•  

• This means that when you install B9Create 3.0.0, it does not replace whatever version of the “B9Create 2.0” you have installed. For example, you have the old “B9Create 2.0” application pinned to your task bar, clicking that pinned icon in your task bar will launch the old “B9Create 2.0” application, not the new version of B9Create (3.0.0).
• The first time you open B9Create, it will look to see if you have the “B9Create 2.0” application installed. If so, B9Create will pull in all your “B9Create 2.0” application settings: your registered license key, your Options menu preferences, your custom support presets, et cetera.
• After you open B9Create for the first time and confirm it successfully pulled in all your B9Create 2.0 settings, we recommend that you uninstall your B9Create 2.0 application unless you still need B9Create 2.0 for reasons discussed in the Printer Firmware Compatibility section.
•  
• Printer Firmware Compatibility
• B9Create 3.0.0 fixes multiple slicing errors, but these fixes required significant changes to the slicing routine. CPJx files sliced in B9Create 3.0.0 must be printed on Firmware 95.0.0 or greater, since the firmware has also been significantly updated to fix slicing errors.
• If I see slicing errors in my existing CPJx files, do I need to reslice those files in B9Create 3.0.0 in order to fix the slicing errors?
• Yes. For the slicing and foundation bevel fixes to take effect, you need to use B9Create 3.0.0 to slice the CPJx files. If you are satisfied with the slices of any existing CPJx files you have, reslicing is not required.
• Can I use a firmware less than Firmware 95.0.0 to print a CPJx from B9Create 3.0.0?
• No. If the printer’s firmware is less than 95.0.0, B9Create 3.0.0 does not allow uploading CPJx files over the network, and CPJx files from B9Create 3.0.0 will not appear on the printer’s USB Transfer menu. To fix this, update your printer to Firmware 95.0.0.
• Why can’t I see CPJx files from B9Create 3.0.0 on my printer’s USB Transfer menu?
• Your printer does not have Firmware 95.0.0 or greater, so you cannot see CPJx files from B9Create 3.0.0. Firmwares less than 95.0.0 can only see CPJx files from B9Create 2.0 or B9 Create 1.0. To see CPJx files from B9Create 3.0.0, update your printer to Firmware 95.0.0.
• What happens if I use Firmware 95.0.0 to print a CPJx from B9Create 2.0?
• Firmware 95.0.0 is still able to print CPJx files sliced in B9Create 2.0. If you are experiencing slicing errors in any of your CPJx files from B9Create 2.0, you should reslice them in B9Create 3.0.0.

•  
• B9 Core 5 Firmware 96.1.3
• Release Notes
• New Features
• Compatible with B9Captivate Plugin 2.1.3.
• The Settings > Date and Time menu allows you to set your printer’s clock to the correct time.
  • By default, the Sync button uses the Internet to set the time.

•  
• Bug Fixes
• Fixes a bug where the calculated print time in the Print History could be inaccurate. This bug most often happened when a print was started quickly after the printer was rebooted.
• A “Not connected” message now appears in the bottom left corner of the home screen when your printer is not connected to a network.
•  
• How to Update Your Firmware
• Before updating, it is strongly recommended that you connect your printer to the Internet, and that you use Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi.

1. Plug your Ethernet cable into the back of your printer.
2. Use the printer’s menu to navigate to Settings > Network.
3. If the Ethernet checkbox is not already checked, tap to check the box.

• Then insert a USB drive with b9-core-5_96.1.3.mender and install the firmware update. You may also be able to update through the Settings > Updates menu on your printer, if Firmware 96.1.3 has been made available as an update to your printer.
•  
• Troubleshooting
• My printer had the B9Captivate Plugin installed. After updating to Firmware 96.1.3, I don’t see the B9Captivate Plugin in my list of plugins.
• Firmware 96.1.3 requires B9Captivate Plugin 2.1.3 or greater, so it is not compatible with the previous version of the B9Captivate Plugin you had installed before updating your firmware. However, your B9Captivate license key and all your material settings are still saved on your printer. Once you install B9Captivate Plugin 2.1.3 or greater, the plugin and all your settings will reappear.

  A bug where selecting multiple parts could incorrectly set the part rotation has been fixed.\
• Known Bugs with Supporting:
• Dragging a supported part in the Z direction and then using Undo to revert the changes does not properly undo the changes to support height. To fix this, slightly drag the part in the Z direction again.
• 
  Using the Z position input field to change the Z height of a supported part does not properly rebuild supports for the new Z height. To fix this, slightly drag the part in the Z direction using the 3D arrows.
• 
  If both a model-to-model support and a model-to-floor support are selected, editing the support anatomy can occasionally cause the model-to-model support to project down to the floor. To fix this, undo the change and edit the model-to-model support separately.
