Your device does none of the building
Every model is built on Printytron's servers and sent straight to your screen. Build time no longer depends on the device you use: an old phone gets its model built as quickly as a new laptop does. The build page loads lighter too, with no 11 MB engine to download.

FIG. 42-A.2A finished model is on screen within a fraction of a second of arriving. Two weeks ago the servers started building alongside your browser, and they now handle all of it.

Your listing keeps up with your model.
When you update a published model, its name and description start from Printy's latest, with your own words kept and the other version one tap away. Most updates used to keep the old description, even after a fix.
- 42.02Fixed
Nothing lost on a shaky connection.
A reply that finishes while you're offline shows up when you reconnect, and Download publishes the version on screen. The reply used to stay missing until a reload, and Download published the version before it.
- 42.03Fixed
Remixes reopen where you left off.
Reopening a remix shows your latest version instead of the original you remixed.
- 42.04Fixed
Publishing from a phone ends on a screen that fits.
The confirmation screen fits however long your model's name is. A long name used to push it off the side of a phone.
