Sponsor A Feature

Would you like to see a feature added to SuperSlicer, or maybe a tweak to an existing one? Well now you can participate in making that happen.

Maybe you’ve discovered a pesky bug that really needs someone to look into. Now you can help make that all happen!

This is done via a combination of two methods. First have a look at the list of features, bugs, projects, or invitations below and see if what you have in mind is already there. If so, you can see the fees associated to it and how much others may have donated towards it already. You are very welcome to donate any amount towards it. Every donation counts and every donation is appreciated. We will assign someone to that particular item once we have raised enough to cover it.

If you do not see your item there, please scroll down, and fill out the form at the bottom of the page. Please share as much information as possible with us, and a reliable way to get in touch with you just in case we would like to obtain more information from you. Once you submit the completed form, we will evaluate it for inclusion, assign a value to it, and add it to the list. Simple as that.

Please realize, you may think that $2.00 USD or $5.00 USD will not make a difference, that could not be further from the truth. After all 500 helpful people sponsoring $2.00 USD each adds up to $1000.00 USD towards an item! We appreciate everyone equally.

Everyone gets a say, everyone will be heard, and we appreciate and encourage active participation! However this does not mean that every feature/concept/idea will be accepted and this does not give any person or group the right to become abusive or toxic towards our team.

We would also like to invite you to vote on a feature request you would like to see added. Voting for a feature request is a way for us to identify feature requests that will be used by more people and not just 1 or 2. Voting does not mean the feature will be added, it just shows us that more people would like to have it.

The feature request, voting, and donation process we have put in place is intended as an incentive to encourage other qualified C++ programmers to join our development team. The more everyone chips in, the more we can incentivise a programmer to help develop it.

Description

Support for non-planar printing.
Support for belt driven printers. This is a major undertaking, not just to the slicer but the gcode viewer as well. The gcode viewer needs to be updated to support the slicing plane at an angle. Additionally the approach to both supports and overhangs needs to be reimplemented.
Full re-write of Organic/Tree supports to support variable layer height.
Full re-write of entire Overhang echo system.
Support for Arc Overhangs.
Brick layering to perimeters.
Scarf seams.
Ability to select which surface(s) are ironed.
Do not cross an ironed surface.
More wide spread support for adaptive layer heights across all extrusion types.
Ability to copy the settings from one modifier to another and/or duplicate the entire modifier.
Currently slicers are able to compensate for the filament shrinkage in the X&Y plane. This feature would work towards adding this same types of calculations for the Z plane.
Binary support for Armbian (Debian & Ubuntu) and Raspberry Pi OS. This will most likely also be extended to support a broader set of Arm based machines. This does involve more work than one migh expect since the compile scripts need to be updated to be more flexible to the compilation of the dependencies.

Notes:

  1. Our in-house rates for 1 day of programming is $1000.00 US, with discounts for projects or features that are multiple days.
  2. The above day count and amounts can also be considered a “bounty” to find additional programmers to get involved with the project. These rate and time estimates are to encourage others to take a feature set on.
