Publish in seconds, then close the tab
Publishing a model is about three times quicker in Europe and North America, and you can close the tab the moment you click. The median time from click to listing is 5.8 seconds in Europe, down from 18.0, and 3.5 seconds in North America, down from 10.0. Your browser no longer uploads the model: the server publishes the copy it already built and stored.
FIG. 41-A.1
FIG. 41-A.2About 1 publish in 30 used to be lost when people left the page mid-upload, though the file still saved. That's down to 1 in 62. On iPhone, the publish dialog could stay on "Saving…" after the listing had landed, because the answer never reached the page. The page now checks that the listing landed and confirms it.

Almost every reply finishes.
Last week's changes have settled in: in the first days after them, 0.8% of replies didn't finish, against 9.7% on phones and 3.7% on desktop the month before. No build left anyone waiting out the 30-minute limit.
- 41.02Beta
Beta replies in about half the time.
Printy Brain Candidate v2 is on by default for beta members, replacing the first Printy Brain Candidate. A typical reply takes about 19 seconds against about 40, and you can switch it off in BETA OPTIONS.
- 41.03Fixed
Help when your browser blocks 3D graphics.
If a privacy setting or a graphics driver stops your browser drawing in 3D, as seen in Firefox and Brave, the viewer tells you and shows how to turn 3D graphics (WebGL) back on. Publishing explains why it can't take the model's picture until then.
- 41.04Improved
Models in colour from the first frame.
Gallery model pages draw each model in its colours straight away, instead of gray first with colours arriving a moment later.
- 41.05Fixed
Emails read right in dark mode.
Printytron's emails read properly in Apple Mail's dark mode, where every one of them used to show white text on white.
