Changelog
Notable updates and new features.
Corner editor zoom
Zoom and pan in the paper corner editor for precise corner placement on high-resolution images.
Larger bed sizes
Maximum print bed size increased to 500mm, supporting larger format printers.
Configurable stacking lip
Adjust the height of the raised lip on bins for tighter or looser stacking clearance.
Filleted rectangle cutouts
Rectangle cutouts can now have rounded corners with a configurable fillet radius.
A3 and Tabloid paper
A3 and Tabloid paper sizes are now available for tracing larger tools.
Symmetric tool editing
Mirror edits across a tool's axis of symmetry, plus adjustable node detail to simplify or refine outlines.
Adjustable grid snapping
Configure how closely tools snap to the bin grid, or disable snapping entirely for freeform placement.
Reduced motion support
Upload page animation now respects the prefers-reduced-motion accessibility setting.
Default bin settings
Save your preferred bin dimensions, wall thickness, and magnet hole settings as defaults so new bins start with your usual configuration.
Expanded documentation
Three new guides covering the bin layout editor, projects, and keyboard shortcuts, plus improved getting-started documentation.
Numeric input fix
Number fields no longer clamp your input on every keystroke. Type freely and the value is validated when you finish editing.
Auto-rotate tools
Automatically rotate a tool to its most compact orientation, reducing wasted space in the bin layout.
Bin project planning
Plan and organise your bin projects before building. Track which tools go where across multiple bins.
Smoother corner dragging
Paper corner handles are more responsive when dragging, especially on larger images.
Source photo overlay
See your original photo behind the tool outline when editing vertices, making it easier to match the real shape.
Per-tool depth control
Set cutout depth individually for each tool and finger hole in a bin, instead of one depth for everything.
Cylinder cutouts
New cylinder shape option for cutouts, useful for round tools and sockets.
Local tracing crop fix
Fixed local tracing sometimes including areas outside the paper rectangle.
Cutout depth limits fix
Maximum cutout depth now correctly accounts for the base height and stacking lip, preventing impossible configurations.
Cutout drag fix
Auto-size no longer triggers while dragging cutouts around the bin, which was causing layout jumps.
Insert error reporting
Contrast insert generation failures now show a clear error message instead of silently failing.
Insert download fix
Fixed contrast inserts not being included in the STL download archive.
Better paper detection
Paper corners are now detected much more reliably, especially with dark tools on white paper.
Faster tracing workflow
Tracing now starts automatically after you set your paper corners. No extra clicks.
Bin tool centring fix
Tools are now correctly centred in the bin when creating new bins or using auto-size.
Upload guidance
The upload page now shows tips and examples for how to photograph your tools for the best results.
Tool scaling fix
Fixed a bug where traced tools came out too small after image downscaling. Dimensions now match real-world sizes correctly.
Tool editor zoom fix
Fixed a bug where editing vertices in the tool editor was offset when zoomed in or out.
Chamfered cutouts
Cutout edges can now be chamfered for a cleaner print finish. Applies to tool outlines, finger holes, and custom cutouts.
Auto grid sizing
Bin grid dimensions now auto-fit to the bounding box of your placed tools. Toggle it off to set grid size manually.
New dark theme
Refreshed UI with a refined dark theme, frosted glass panels, and improved typography throughout the app.
Local tracing
Self-hosted users can now trace tools locally using InSPyReNet, with no external API needed.
Insert STL generation
Generate a separate insert piece to print in a contrasting colour. The bin pocket is deepened automatically to accommodate it.
Magnet hole options
More magnet hole configurations when generating bins.
Flip tools
Flip tools horizontally or vertically after tracing, so they fit your bin layout.
Adjustable bin wall thickness
Set wall thickness when generating bins. Thicker for strength, thinner for lighter prints.
Easier rectangle cutouts
Rectangle cutouts are now easier to position and resize.
Select tools after tracing
After a trace, pick which tools to keep rather than accepting all of them.
Fill-in for tools
New fill option on tools for solid cutouts instead of outlines only.
Smooth and accurate trace modes
Choose between smooth outlines that look cleaner, or accurate outlines that match your tool exactly.
Trace voids
Place tools within other tools to optimise space. Also improved the vertex editor with zoom and easier point editing.
Better 3D previews
Improved lighting and edge rendering in the bin preview. Fixed mirrored text on STL exports.
Mobile support
Responsive layouts and touch support for the outline editors.
SVG export
Download tool outlines as SVG files.
