## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.8.5 — 2026-07-21

• Price from a 3D file: open a slicer .3mf for exact filament, time & cost, or an STL/OBJ for a quick estimate. Open files right from the Files app or the share sheet. 
  • Filament runout alerts for Bambu & Creality printers get notified the moment filament runs out mid-print.
  • Bambu printer health warnings now shown in the app.
  • Pick your currency independently from the app language.
  • Lighter, cooler live monitoring - less battery when tracking multiple printers.
  • New per-tab tips and stability improvements

### 1.8.4 — 2026-07-06

This update brings live monitoring to your Lock Screen and Mac menu bar.
  
  • Live print tracking in the Dynamic Island and on the Lock Screen: remaining time counts down in real time and the progress bar keeps moving even while the app is closed. Multiple active prints are
    listed on a single card.
  • Mac menu bar monitoring: close the window and your whole farm keeps being tracked status, progress and time left right in the menu bar.
  • New farm setup wizard: add your printers in minutes via account linking, network scan or manual entry.
  • Fixed printers staying offline at launch and requiring manual reconnection; dropped connections now recover faster.
  • Battery and thermal improvements with reduced background processing.

### 1.8.3 — 2026-06-23

This update focuses on connection reliability across your entire 3D printer farm.
  
  All monitored printers now connect automatically at launch — no more manual reconnection after restarting the app. The live dashboard detects and recovers from dropped connections faster, keeping your print farm visible at all times.
  
  Fixed an issue where a printer could silently block another from appearing in the live monitoring view due to an IP address conflict in the device registry.
  
  Improved first-connection handling for printers that require an initial status request before streaming live data.

### 1.8.1 — 2026-05-30

Printer Maintenance Reminders                                                              
  LayerCost now tracks your print hours and reminds you when it's time for maintenance lubrication, belt checks, PTFE swaps and more. Schedules are tailored to your printer brand (Bambu Lab, Creality, Prusa, Snapmaker and others).                                       
                                                                                             
  Smarter Filament Alerts                                                                    
  Stock notifications are now smarter you'll get one focused alert instead of overlapping messages when a spool runs critically low.                                                 
                                                                                             
  Bug fixes and improvements.

### 1.8 — 2026-05-27

• New: Interactive app tour — discover every feature in 60 seconds on first launch. Replay 
  anytime from Settings.                                                                     
  • Improved: Printer connection screen now shows firmware types as visual cards — Bambu,    
  Creality, Klipper and more are easier to select.                                           
  • Improved: Settings page layout and alignment fixes.
