Sep 22, 2011 Extract z01 files on Mac OS X – howto Posted on September 22, 2011 by Marko Tomic in HOWTO, OS X with 0 Comments The first of multiple files that make up a split archive created with WinZip; uses the same compression as a standard.ZIP file, but must be decompressed along with the related split archives (.Z02,.Z03, etc.).

Bug fixes:
- Fixed some cases where models would be repaired incorrectly,
- Overall performance improvements,
- Improved printing quality of printing profiles for:
- Z-ULTRAT Plus + Z-SUPPORT ATP 0.15 mm for M300 Dual,
- Z-ASA Pro 0.15 mm in single-extrusion mode for M300 Dual and Zortrax Inventure.
As of the release of Z-SUITE 2.20.0, we've decided to focus on improving operation of the program on the newest macOS Big Sur system. As a result, Z-SUITE for OS X El Capitan and macOS Sierra won't be supported any longer.
- Added support for Zortrax Resin Tough (White, Grey, Clear) with 0.025, 0.05 and 0.1 mm layer thickness values (Zortrax Inkspire),
Inkspire:
- Added a new parameter in the Print Settings step for Inkspire – Slicing Quality with Normal and High modes. Selecting the High mode allows the printer to keep precise geometry of models (even very complicated ones), however, slicing can take more time,
M300 Dual, Inventure:
(NOTE! M300 Dual must be running firmware 2.5.4 version for new printing profiles.)
- Added new printing profiles:
- Z-ABS 0.15 and 0.20 mm (single-extrusion mode),
- Z-ASA Pro 0.15, 0.20 and 0.30 mm (single-extrusion mode),
- Z-NYLON + Z-SUPPORT ATP 0.15, 0.20 and 0.30 mm – only M300 Dual,
- Added the new feature Cooling tower which helps to prevent single, small elements in your prints from getting overheated or deformed,
M Series Plus, M300 Dual, Inkspire:
- The procedure of detecting collision between models in the Model step has been improved and it is now much more precise,
- Improved the Autoarrange tool – multiple models are now positioned in the workspace in a more optimized way,
- Improved moving models around the workspace with arrow keys in the Model step,
M Series Plus, M300 Dual:
- Introduced .zcodex2 as a new output file format for M Series Plus and M300 Dual printers (NOTE! Updating firmware to the 2.4.3 version is necessary to process .zcodex2 files),
- Improved slicing – it now should take less time,
Bug fixes:
- Fixed problems with overly simplified paths that would contain artifacts,
- Fixed a bug where saving a .zcodex file again would cause problems,
- Fixed problems with repeated slicing of the same models after changing Infill settings,
- Fixed a bug where progress bar and notifications in the Preview step would block the workspace view,
- Fixed a bug with saving very large files for Inkspire.
- Improved printing quality of Druckwege Type D Dental Model resin for Inkspire,
- Z-HIPS printing profile is no longer available for Inventure,
- Z-ESD v2 printing profile is no longer available for Inventure and M300 Dual,
- Fixed some of the problems where a blank screen would appear when starting Z-SUITE on macOS.
M300 Dual:
- Added new printing profiles with 0.15, 0.20 and 0.30 mm layer thickness values:
- Z-ABS + Z-SUPPORT ATP
- Z-ASA Pro + Z-SUPPORT ATP
- Z-ULTRAT + Z-SUPPORT ATP
- Z-ULTRAT Plus + Z-SUPPORT ATP
Inkspire:
- The Tree type support can now be generated automatically. This support type allows users to save resin and eliminate cases where pillars of support merge with each other,
M Series Plus, M300 Dual, Inkspire:
- Added the new option One-click Printing which enables users to quickly and easily prepare files for printing. All required steps take place automatically: the user only has to choose basic settings, such as material type or layer thickness, and choose where the generated file should be saved (hard drive or the printer's USB drive), or only showed in the Preview. Next, the program adjusts the Rotation for the model (only for Inkspire), adds the automatic support and generates the output file.
Bug fixes:
- M300 Dual & Inventure: Improved extrusion at the beginning and end of prints, and at the time of changing between hotends,
- Inkspire: Fixes cases where pillars would disappear with angled surfaces when adding support manually,
- Improved detection of cases where support pillars would collide with models,
- Improved support generation, especially with pillars placed on the edges of the workspace,
- M Series Plus, M300 Dual, Inventure: Improved generation of Smart bridges which are adjacent to the top layer area; Improved Smart bridges generation after rotating a model,
- Improved fan operation when printing the first layer of supports,
- Fixes some of the quality issues with the Shell mode.
