### Belt Printer Builds
The [nightly release](https://github.com/OrcaSlicer/OrcaSlicer/releases/tag/nightly-builds) ships **two parallel builds**: the standard build and a belt-printer build. Both are attached to the same release — tell them apart by the filename suffix:
- **Standard** — no suffix (e.g. `OrcaSlicer_Windows_Installer_x64_nightly.exe`)
- **Belt** — `_belt` suffix (e.g. `OrcaSlicer_Windows_Installer_x64_nightly_belt.exe`)
The `_belt` builds add **experimental support for belt / conveyor (infinite-Z) printers**, where the model is sliced against a tilted belt surface instead of a flat horizontal bed. They include ready-to-use belt printer profiles, the full belt slicing pipeline (mesh rotation and G-code transforms), belt-aware support generation, and a tilted-bed preview.
> ⚠️ Belt printer support is under active development and is **not yet merged into `main`** — it currently ships only in these parallel `_belt` builds, produced from the [`belt-printer`](https://github.com/OrcaSlicer/OrcaSlicer/tree/belt-printer) branch. See tracking PR [#14394](https://github.com/OrcaSlicer/OrcaSlicer/pull/14394) and the original documentation in [#12998](https://github.com/OrcaSlicer/OrcaSlicer/pull/12998).
