LatestJune 2026The Big Fill & Layers Fix — Thank You, Marko & Sofia
This release is dedicated to Marko & Sofia, whose in-depth YouTube review put 3DPlotter through a real-world stress test and surfaced a batch of genuine bugs — SVG imports ignoring the original artboard size, fills bleeding past the outline, solid fills you couldn't make denser, disconnected and compound shapes that wouldn't fill, and a clunky multi-colour layer workflow. Thank you both for buying it, using it, filming it, and reporting back so honestly. I fixed every one of those, then kept going with a ground-up paint-bucket overhaul, cleaner image/SVG fills, layer copy & merge fixes, and correct Bambu Lab A1 Mini output — plus a few additions of my own: a Points/Dots fill, shift-click multi-select into a new layer, metric & imperial rulers, and a click-to-set zoom.
- Paint-bucket fill now fills only the compartment you click — it respects inner walls, nested cutouts, and holes instead of flooding the whole shape (so complex traced artwork fills section-by-section, the way you'd expect)
- Paint-bucket fill no longer bleeds outside the clicked region or past a shape's outline — even on tricky imported artwork like faces and cars where it used to leak into neighbouring shapes
- Paint-bucket fill now reaches right up to the walls — no more unfilled margin inside the compartment, no gap at the top or bottom, and the four corners fill in completely
- The paint-bucket now has an adjustable fill density/spacing, so you can make the fill of small shapes as dense (or as open) as you like
- Imported SVG fills no longer spill outside the outline — the fill lines stay neatly inside the shape
- Imported JPG/PNG image fills no longer bleed past the outline, and now correctly leave holes empty instead of filling blank areas
- The SVG "True Size" toggle now actually scales the import to a real-world 1:1 size on the bed
- Filling a scaled SVG now scales the fill with it — the fill lines no longer stay at the old (larger) size after you resize the shape
- The fill-pattern picker no longer opens partly off-screen — it now stays fully inside the window
- Tracing in "Outline" mode no longer drops shapes — a circle that previously vanished from line-art now traces correctly
- Tracing "Auto" mode no longer fragments simple images into jagged, broken pieces, and soft-gradient images (like watercolour-style waves) trace far more cleanly
- New Points/Dots fill mode — fill a shape with a field of dots instead of lines for stippled, halftone-style shading
- Shift-click to select multiple elements at once, then send them all to a new layer together
- Copying an element to a new layer (or via copy/paste) no longer shrinks it — scaled artwork keeps its size
- Merging two layers now keeps the content of both layers instead of dropping one
- Bambu Lab A1 Mini G-code now starts and prints correctly — files generated for the A1 Mini no longer fail to begin the draw
- The Export dialog now shows the correct printer name — "A1 Mini" instead of "A1"
- Added metric & imperial rulers/guides around the canvas so you can see real-world dimensions while you design
- The zoom percentage is now clickable — type or pick an exact zoom level instead of only using the buttons or scroll wheel
- A heartfelt thank-you to Marko & Sofia for the detailed YouTube review, and to the whole 3DPlotter community for buying, using, and reporting issues — your feedback drives releases like this one
