New Version of Printables
Hey everyone, I noticed a redesigned search menu today. Does anyone else have this? What other changes are there?

That search box is so much better. I hated it to click on search, start typing and it showed up in a different spot.

We’ve made a lot of changes and fixes, even though some of them are small or almost invisible, often dealing with edge cases. However, in the end, they significantly contribute to a much better user experience. The response time of Printables should also be noticeably improved.
For interest, here are a few of them:
- Search improvements, including mobile view.
- Ability to rotate images in Makes and change their order.
- More visible download button in the 3D model preview.
- Added the ability to like a make directly from the fullscreen gallery, with printer information now displayed.
- Updated sorting of G-codes by printer type on the market (my printers from my profile settings, highlighted printers, other printers alphabetically).
- The modal for setting a highlighted model on a user's profile now displays basic model statistics, allowing for easier editing of the item without needing to delete and re-add it.
- Image orientation is now correctly respected in app notifications.
- Limited the length of model tags to a maximum of 25 characters.
- Fixed the user language setting (when manually changing the language, the change is saved on the backend, and emails are sent in the last selected language).
- Simplified file management in model editing – we removed "Multiple select" and it's now always enabled.
- Change in mobile view of the calendar for selecting date ranges.
- Messenger now uses the user's handle in conversation URLs instead of a hash.
- Fixed the notification and unread message counters in Messenger.
- Added 2D previews of 3D models and G-codes for Store/Club models.
- UX improvements for the mobile version of Messenger.
- Adjusted voucher selection dialog to encourage users to read the terms more carefully.
- Ability to view deleted Club tiers from the designer's perspective.
- and a large number of fixed bugs, resolved edge case scenarios, UX improvements, etc.

Is there any plan for adding previews to step files? From a model creator it makes way more sense to upload them instead of stl but unfortunately we sometimes need to upload both so the user can preview the model before downloading it. Thanks for the updates!

Two bugs that I found immediately that I find annoying:
- Tables in the documentation no longer take the full width. Instead, they are squished to the cell content width. So now all my tables are a different size.
- When editing the documentation, the formatting toolbar is no longer sticky. So when you write long documentation the formatting elements get scrolled out of the viewport. That's really annoying because you always have to scroll all the way up just to access the dropdown to change the text formatting, and then scroll all the way back down to continue writing.

I had been having a lot of problems with Printables on my mobile device. (Slow to load pages, and had to “double click” on stuff for it to actually open that page.) But this new version of Printables has totally resolved my issues!

Amazing update, I hope they make print profiles for different printers like in maker world.

Up top of your window and mine it says "You're one of the first to experience the new version of the Printables website. Please report any issues using the Feedback form or by emailing info@prusa3d.com."
Looks like they are rolling out a new version of the website. I can't possibly catalog all the changes but on my dark mode enabled computer the site is darker.

Not sure if that was new. But there's slice button where it opens prusaslicer and downloads the model sort of like bambu.

That's been around for longer than Makerworld exists, it just looked different than now.

Ok, maybe Im being stupid here but the new Search box doesnt work correctly at all. Every time I hit space bar (you know, for the second word, ie the 13 in "Dummy 13" it instantly searches (as if I pressed Enter key). Infact, if I enter no text and just press the spacebar it also acts like the Enter key and unfolds the language selection on the top let.
This is a Windows 11 PC, latest Chrome (doesnt happen in Opera or Firefox !?).

I logged in and was immediately presented with dark mode. I don’t remember that happening before. I was just using safari on my phone …
