Enables supported printing of standard Orcaslicer calibration profiles.
* Build 2 Checkpoint
* fix support generation wedge, ghost layers
* flip cornering tests 180 deg to waste less supports
* fix row spacing on the flow ratio calibrations
* more testing, this didn't fix anything
* switched rotation tools, same issue
* fixed Z-offset issues
* add rest of PA features, may look a bit weird on a belt
* make temp towers work
* re-enable spiral on calibrations that want it
* Final cleanup pre-PR and community testing
* Preserve support base outline/fill order
Honor no_sort when emitting support toolpaths to keep outline-first order.
Group tree support base paths (including lightning) into per-area no_sort collections to prevent interleaving across islands.
Keep lightning layer lookup side-effect free.
* Tag Orca specific changes
Tag Orca specific changes vs. Bambu using the comment //ORCA: . This helps when reviewing merge commits from upstream Bambu so we don't end up causing regressions when pulling in commits from upstream
Reconciles the belt-printer branch with upstream PRs through #13723. Six
files had conflicts; three additional files needed manual follow-up fixes
where the auto-merge produced code that referenced upstream-renamed fields
or changed function signatures.
Notable reconciliations:
- TreeSupport.cpp: kept belt-floor early-exit branches around HEAD's
drop-down logic, folded upstream's `(distance_to_top > 0 ? 1 : 0)`
formula into the non-belt-floor path (upstream PR #11812). Dropped dead
`roof_enabled`/`force_tip_to_roof` locals.
- TreeSupport3D.cpp: combined upstream's safety-offset + remove_small
changes with HEAD's belt-floor clip in the per-slice trim loop. Dropped
HEAD's `else` block (superseded by upstream's rewritten bottom-contact
propagation) and re-added the belt-floor clip into the new propagation
loop. Gated the propagation on belt printers to prevent OOM when
belt-floor clipping produces empty initial slices.
- TriangleSelector.{cpp,hpp}: merged both new `select_patch` parameters
(HEAD's `up_direction` and upstream's `select_partially`); body uses
`dot(up_direction)` for the overhang angle check and forwards
`select_partially` to `select_triangle`.
- SupportMaterial.cpp: `slicing_params.soluble_interface` →
`zero_gap_interface_bottom` in HEAD's `detect_belt_floor_bottom_contacts`,
matching upstream's same-purpose rename at line 2495.
- Custom.json, GCodeWriter.cpp: simple additive merges (kept entries /
includes from both sides).
Verified by building OrcaSlicer (RelWithDebInfo) after a full deps
rebuild (Eigen v5.0.1, libigl v2.6.0 are now managed deps) and slicing
a scaled Benchy on the NORMALIZER belt-printer profile without OOM.

Fix hybrid tree first-layer support base flow and UI consistency
Fix incorrect first-layer generation for hybrid tree supports.
The support base on the first layer used brim flow instead of support material flow,
which could lead to incorrect extrusion behavior and wrong material usage in
multi-material prints.
Additionally, spacing and density for the regular support part were not consistently
derived from the actual first-layer support flow when first-layer and regular
line widths differed.
Hybrid-specific behavior is clarified:
- first-layer expansion applies only to the regular support part
- tree-only regions keep their existing behavior
The first-layer support pattern is aligned with normal and organic tree supports
to ensure consistent and meaningful density behavior.
Also make first-layer support expansion and density settings visible whenever
supports are enabled, as density was already affecting hybrid supports but was
hidden in the UI.
* Fix support interface semantics and gap handling
Fix zero-gap interface detection and gap initialization for supports and raft.
Ensures correct top/bottom contact semantics and avoids relying on default zero gaps.
* Additional fixes and robustness improvements
Fix incorrect coupling between top and bottom support interface spacing and density, ensuring bottom interfaces use their own parameters for smoothing and toolpath generation.
Restore correct bottom interface generation for organic (tree) supports when a non-zero bottom Z gap is used, and preserve contacts even when base polygons are empty.
Improve robustness of organic support slicing by fixing layer index drift and guarding against degenerate polygon boolean operations.
* Typo and semantics fix
differnt_support_interface_filament -> different_support_interface_filament
soluble -> zero_top_z_gap
* Fix non organic tree bottom support interface generation
Slim tree bottom interface layer numbers were capped by the object's layer number beneath it.
Fixed by refactoring the generation algorithm.
* Fix non organic tree interlaced support generation
Deterministic local interlaced support layers generation for non-organic tree support
* Enable support interface multimaterial for non organic tree
Enables mixed-material support interface behavior for non organic tree support type.
* Fix tree support interface layer counts and contact handling
- Correct non‑organic tree top interface layer budgeting so gaps don’t consume a layer (N stays N).
- Remove the extra roof interface pass that was duplicating the 2nd layer.
- Organic tree: use only the lowest contact footprint and avoid extra bottom‑contact extrusion so interface count matches the user setting.
* Bugfixes (a lot)
Many, many bugs fixed, majority edge-case but still not playing by the rule.
Some of them:
- on multilevel base, on very small level variations the support was capped to the topmost level height
- non-organic tree had gaps for supports in a multilevel base situiation
- independent support layer height had issues with support interfaces (base support beneath bottom interface, top contact layer sometimes missing)
- organic tree had issues with small variation multi-level base
- organic tree support with zero top Z distance could overlap support-material and interface-material paths when separate materials were used
- many, many others (I lost track of them)
Conflicts resolved in src/libslic3r/GCode.cpp and src/slic3r/GUI/GUI_Factories.cpp.
GCode.cpp: combined upstream's air-filtration per-extruder gating
(activate_air_filtration_during_print / _on_completion), the new
extrusion-role-change gcode lambda, ZAA's path.z_contoured arc-fit
disable, raft-aware slow_down_layers branch, and Vec3d/Line3 ZAA
plumbing with the local belt-printer changes (path_on_first_layer,
effective_layer_index_for_point, should_disable_arc_fitting). All
auto-merged m_writer.X() calls converted to m_writer->X() to match
the local unique_ptr<GCodeWriter> refactor.
GUI_Factories.cpp: inserted brim_flow_ratio in the Support category
list and renumbered around the local build_plate_tilt_x/y entries.

Fix support preview artifacts caused by incorrect gap subdivision
Support generation could sometimes split a gap into too many steps,
even when it should fit exactly into a single layer.
This was most noticeable when max_suport_layer_height was equal to
the print layer height (e.g. 0.2 mm).
This resulted in incorrect support layering and visible artifacts
in preview.
The issue was caused by floating-point precision, where values that
should be equal to the configured limit were treated as slightly larger.
Fix by biasing the subdivision calculation with EPSILON so near-equal
values are not split into extra steps.
Applied consistently to:
- SupportMaterial (normal supports)
- TreeSupportCommon (tree stepping)
- TreeSupport (layer creation)
- Add BeltBackTransform class that inverts the shear/scale matrix and
applies it in GCodeWriter::to_machine_coords() so G-code outputs in
the machine's physical coordinate space, gated by new
belt_gcode_back_transform config option
- Extend belt floor clipping to all three tree support pipelines
(Prusa-style, Orca organic, TreeModelVolumes) with per-layer polygon
clipping, anti-overhang integration, and belt raft extension layers
- Fix tree drop_nodes() belt termination, organic support global Z
offset, collision calculation index bug, and first-layer brim/empty
layer checks for belt printers
two-shot - first build built but didn't plumb to UI. Woah.
add pre-slice axis remap, because Y needs to be Z
going to change tactic and move based on bbox min
switch to per axis snapping
per axis swap snap now per object
build plate tilt wasn't invalidating slicer settings
support upper bound now correct, need to get lower bound corrected
axis swapped support termination corrected
Z Shear works with and without pre-slice remap now
- Fix support clipping z-shift calculation by removing coordinate-space
mismatch and sync belt_floor_z_shift with global_z_offset; fix
invalidation so posSupportMaterial no longer resets slicing params
- Add belt floor polygon clipping to non-organic tree support
(slim/strong/hybrid) with collision surface integration in
TreeSupportData, belt extension layers, and first-layer brim
suppression
- Add belt floor clipping to organic tree support pipeline with virtual
belt raft layers, per-layer polygons in TreeModelVolumes, and
post-generation layer trimming; fix pre-existing processing_last_mesh
bug in calculateCollision()
Fix belt floor support clipping: z-shift, invalidation, and global offset
- Fix support clipping z-shift calculation by removing coordinate-space
mismatch (raw_bounding_box min.z vs trafo_centered m_belt_min_z) and
sync belt_floor_z_shift with global_z_offset in global shear mode
- Fix invalidation so posSupportMaterial no longer resets slicing params,
preventing the exact posSlice z-shift from being overwritten by the
bounding-box approximation on support-only setting changes
- Remove double-counting of global z_offset on support layers — support
already inherits the offset from object layers during generation

UI: gray out inactive belt sub-options, rename to mesh transforms, move to Advanced
Fix mesh clipping through build plate after belt shear/scale transform
Generalize G-code viewer designed-view toggle for full belt transform
Clip support layers to transformed belt floor plane
Supports below the tilted build plate (Z = shear_factor * from_axis - min_z)
are now clipped via half-plane intersection after generation. Belt floor
parameters stored in SlicingParameters and populated in both update_slicing_parameters()
and the static slicing_parameters() overload.
Make belt G-code viewer toggle more prominent, add B keyboard shortcut
- Add separator + teal "Belt Printer" header in legend panel
- Append [B] hint to checkbox label
- Add B key shortcut in GLCanvas3D to toggle designed/machine view
- Read belt_printer_angle from loaded G-code headers to enable belt view
Add per-axis global transform option for belt printer shear
New belt_shear_{x,y,z}_global bool configs. When enabled, shear incorporates
instance shift so objects at different bed positions get position-aware
transform (Z += factor * instance_shift_on_from_axis).
Fix global shear: use layer Z offset instead of mesh transform, add config invalidation
- Global shear offset applied as post-slicing layer print_z adjustment
instead of mesh transform (which was absorbed by min_z normalization
or shifted mesh out of slice range)
- Register all belt transform options in Print::invalidate_state_by_config_options
to trigger posSlice re-slicing (the fallback only invalidated Print steps,
not PrintObject steps — belt changes had no effect without manual re-slice)
- Belt gcode remap options added to steps_gcode (gcode-export only)
- Skip empty-first-layer check for belt objects with global Z offset
WIP: split instances for global shear, relative Z offsets, debug logging
- PrintApply: when belt global mode active, prevent instance grouping by
adding unique Z perturbation to trafo — each copy becomes its own
PrintObject with independent layers
- PrintObjectSlice: compute global Z offset relative to minimum Y shift
across all PrintObjects (lowest-Y object stays at Z=0)
- Debug logging (warning level) for belt global shift values and offsets
Known issues:
- Cached posSlice results cause stale offsets when mixing copies with
individually-added objects — need to compute min baseline outside slice()
- Supports still generate to Z=0 instead of object's global Z offset
Fix global shear for copied objects: disable shared-object layer optimization
When belt global Z shear is active, each object needs unique layer Z
values based on its bed position. The shared-object optimization was
causing copies to reuse the source object's layers (and its Z offset)
instead of computing their own position-based offset.
started work on getting supports to work properly
one step forward, one step back
this version didn't quite work. Getting somewhere though
about to add UI controllable tests
added configuration options for supports
tweak CLAUDE.md to be more aggressive for my machine. This commit should probably be pulled out before contributing upstream
still chasing down some bugs
moving objects between slices no longer results in improper Z-height because of caching
added more data to the debug logs
Z offset is getting more global again
still not quite there, I think there's a fundamental logic flaw?
hunting for bugs
finally have a functional fix
Add belt floor clipping to tree supports (organic and non-organic)
- Add belt floor polygon clipping to non-organic tree support
(slim/strong/hybrid) in draw_circles() and terminate nodes at the
belt surface instead of the horizontal build plate
- Add belt floor clipping to organic tree support pipeline with virtual
belt raft layers for sub-floor branch generation, per-layer belt
floor polygons in TreeModelVolumes, and post-generation layer trimming
- Fix pre-existing processing_last_mesh bug in TreeModelVolumes that
prevented m_anti_overhang (support blockers) from ever being applied;
skip empty first layer check for belt printers
Commits:
current approach: make a face surface to build supports to
closer!
supports now terminate on shear plane, now need to get shear plane to correct Z height
nearly there
chasing down logic issues still
committing for checkpoint, this still does not work
still got logic problems...
cull support clipping
stashing changes for now. Going to focus on getting the global shear OFF support generation dialed first.
beginning per object shear calcs
Local shear transform is on correct Z offset now
local shear finally works now and needs more testing
global shear works now, needs thorough testing
debugging non-45 degree angles
debugging part 2
supports at all angles work now
remove debug logging
Add belt floor collision to non-organic tree support pipeline
- Integrate belt floor as a collision surface in TreeSupportData so
branches route around the belt naturally, replacing the explicit
termination checks in drop_nodes()
- Add belt extension layers below the object after draw_circles() to
allow support geometry to extend to the diagonal belt surface instead
of terminating at a horizontal first layer
- Fix coordinate overflow in belt floor polygons (scale_(1e4) exceeds
int32), skip first-layer brim expansion for belt printers, and
extend empty first layer check bypass to all belt modes
add debug logging, Z translate for tree supports
still not seeing any cutoff surface yet
adding debug options
attempt #2 at trees
if hit Z buildplate stop but don't set to_buildplate true
getting closer
tree support almost there, just need to get rid of the circles at the beginning
getting closer
belt / shear plane clip works, need to figure out the buidlplate plane issues
more logic, added debugging logs
supports now extend somewhat below Z=0 in global shear mode
fix bad alloc, add 10mm below build plate

According to https://eigen.tuxfamily.org/dox/TopicPitfalls.html one
should just avoid using `auto` as the type of an Eigen expression.
This PR fixes most of them I could found in the project. There might be
cases that I missed, and I might update those later if I noticed.
This should prevent issues like #7741 and hopefully fix some mysterious
crashes happened inside Eigen calls.

Previously painting support enforces on vertical faces doesn't work, as projecting the facets downwards will give empty polygons.
Now we use a different mechanism to enable vertical paint-on enforces, by directly adding contact nodes.
Note: this feature only works with tree support as only tree support has contact nodes.
