• An issue where Snapmaker PLA Snapspeed density being 0 could prevent print jobs from being sent;

• An issue where Generic PETG with a first-layer PEI steel sheet bed temperature set to 0 could cause poor first-layer print quality.

5. Fixed an issue that caused the software to crash in certain scenarios.
6. Fixed an issue where Bambu Lab printer models could not be selected on the Prepare page.

8. Fixed Italian translation inaccuracies on Windows.
9. Fixed an issue where the IP address reported by the device to Snapmaker Orca is inconsistent with its actual IP address, causing problems such as being unable to retrieve material information or unable to print on the Print Preprocessing page.

Improvements

1. Improved the warning for spiral lifting near the build plate boundaries.

2. Optimized the popup scenario when switching between multiple pages.
3. Improved the monitoring retrieval efficiency and file upload efficiency when the computer and device are on the same local network.
