Measuring tools in the viewer
The build plate carries X, Y and Z axis letters, and a FRONT label marks the front edge. Press the ruler button and the viewer draws dimension lines on the model like a technical drawing, or on a single part when you select it. A size chip in the bottom-left corner shows the size of the model or of the selected part, and switches between millimetres and inches.
If you're signed in, your unit choice (inches or millimeters) is saved and follows you to your other devices. A DIMENSIONS list dropdown summarizes the model's key measurements, each with a short description. Printy sees the measured size of the model and of each part after every build, including whether an edit changed any of them, and she knows which side of the model you're looking at.
Smaller changes and fixes
- 37.01Fixed
Printy always says what she built.
About 13% of builds used to end without a reply. That gap is closed.
- 37.02Improved
Enter on phones and tablets.
On a touch screen, Enter starts a new line and the Send button sends, while Ctrl+Enter or Cmd+Enter does the job on a hardware keyboard.
- 37.03Improved
Browsers that can't build.
If your browser can't run the builder (iPhone Lockdown Mode is one example), you're told as soon as the page loads, before you use a prompt.
- 37.04Fixed
Reopening a saved model.
The viewer shows "Rebuilding model…" while the model rebuilds, which takes 5–30 seconds. It used to show an empty plate.
- 37.05Beta
Beta: Printy Brain Candidate is opt-in.
It's off by default for beta members, who can switch it on in BETA OPTIONS.
