EXCLUDE_OBJECT_DEFINE keeps plate coordinates on a belt printer: the frame
after the slicing rotation is undone and before the G-code axis remap and
machine-frame shear, which is where the object stands on the belt.
Raised in Hanif Koh's review of #14394.
The purge tower is a model object the GUI creates and sizes, and libslic3r
only purges into one that exists. A multi-filament belt project sliced from
the CLI without it changed filament with nowhere to purge, silently.
Raised in Hanif Koh's review of #14394.
The cooling buffer's band pass rebuilt positions from the layer's G-code
and tested them against the first-layer plane. The G-code is in machine
coordinates and the plane is in slicing coordinates, so on the shipped
profiles the nearest move was over 100 mm from a 0.2 mm band and the pass
never changed the fan. GCode::_extrude() already knows each path's height
above the belt, so it now tags the band changes and the buffer applies and
strips the tags.
The pass also took the S of every M106 as the part fan, whatever its P
index, and stored that 0..255 value where a percentage was expected (an
auxiliary fan line came back as M106 S651); it now uses FanMover's parser,
which ignores other fans, and converts to percent. It no longer overwrites
the layer's intended speed, only the fan's actual state.

belt_brim_instances_compatible() runs while the slicing parameters can be
stale, like the rest of the brim predicates, which read the print config.

Apron bands looked up their filament and nozzle config slot with a running
counter, while object layers use Layer::id(), so band N read the map of
object layer N. They precede layer 0 and now use its assignment.

The mesh transform is a rotation and an axis permutation, so its
determinant is always 1; rebuilding the forward transform on every
extrusion to divide the flow by it changed nothing.

enable_prime_tower stays on for any multi-filament project, but a belt
printer never prints the classic tower and the belt purge prism is an
ordinary object that never takes a brim, so every brim on a multi-filament
belt print was refused for nothing.
Raised in Hanif Koh's review of #14394.
validate() skipped the build-volume height check whenever the machine-frame
transform was active, which is every shipped belt profile, so a 400 mm
object passed on a 300 mm printable_height. The transform only changes how
the height is written to G-code; the clearance check from f682ab5cd3
applies regardless.

Drops the [BELT-DEBUG], [BELTRACE], [BELT-CALIB] and [BELT-PREVIEW] log
lines, the SLIC3R_BELT_DIAGNOSTIC_LOG blocks, and the counters and
temporaries that existed only to feed them. Six of the purge tower lines
logged at warning level, which is Orca's default, on every plan. Raised in
Hanif Koh's review of #14394.
preslice_remap_*, preslice_remap_global and gcode_remap_* describe the
printer's kinematics and are set once by its profile. A wrong value sends
the gantry outside the machine (a user preset with the pre-slice remap in
place of the G-code remap emitted gantry moves to Y=646 mm), so they are no
longer offered in Expert mode.
On a belt printer a lift is a move along the belt axis (0.4 mm / sin 45 =
0.57 mm of belt travel out and back on every hop), not a lift away from the
part. The three belt printer bases now ship z_hop 0, the IR3 V2 leaf no
longer restates 0.4, and the BabyBelt Pro and IR3 V2 filaments stop
overriding the printer with filament_z_hop 0.4. The option stays editable.
PartPlate's containment tests treat the plate as open along Y on a belt printer with
belt_printer_infinite_y, so a long part is no longer flagged outside the plate in Prepare
while the slicer and the G-code checks accept it. The check reads the printer preset
through the app object, which does not exist headlessly, so it is guarded on the plater.
The prism's generator already sets no_brim; PrintObject::has_belt_brim() now also ignores
any brim setting on the prism (belt_purge_tower_object), so a brim on the parts beside it
never blocks purging.
ToolOrdering::has_wipe_tower() reads the first layer's flag. On a belt the first layer may
be a brim apron band, which carries neither object nor support and never gets the flag, so
with a brim the purge plan returned early and nothing was purged. Scan the layers for a
change.
With top_shell_layers = 0 the `top` vector is never filled and erasing its begin() was
undefined (found by fuzzing on a painted object dropped below the plate).
The per-filament island tour was cached by island centroids only. A later layer with the
same centroids but fewer islands (thin walls, negative volumes) reused the stale visit
list, whose catch-all index pointed past the layer's islands, and extrude_perimeters read
freed memory (three fuzz crashes, planar and belt). The per-instance island layout is part
of the cache key and the use site never indexes past the islands.
Found by fuzzing the headless slicer:
- A BBS-style 3MF without Metadata/project_settings.config segfaulted the CLI silently on
the missing printable_height option.
- A project saved with fewer filaments (or filament groups) than --load-filaments overran
the filament variant tables (segfault in the variant match) and then hit an uncaught
ConfigurationError from set_with_restore_2 (std::terminate). The tables are regenerated
for the filaments the project did not know about, the destination vectors grown first
(only from a non-empty source), the match bounded, and a failure becomes a CLI config
error.
A 3MF vertex with a nan/inf coordinate was accepted by both parsers and crashed qhull in
ModelVolume's convex hull while the file was still loading. Both vertex handlers refuse it,
and volume generation checks again whichever parser produced the geometry. The main
parser's _stop_object_xml_parser keeps a message a handler already set.
The default 0.4 mm z-hop is a 0.57 mm move along the belt axis and its
return tripped the back-step check. Shipped belt profiles print without a
z-hop, so the test does too.
check_multi_extruder_gcode_valid() compares each object's max Z with
printable_height. On a belt printer machine Z is belt travel (a 3DBenchy
on the BabyBelt Pro runs from Z=197 to Z=309 on a 69 mm printable_height),
so every belt export set the over-height error bit and the CLI refused the
plate with -102 "G-code in unprintable area". The preview already skips its
ToolHeightOutside warning for the same reason; the export check now does
too. The XY printable-area check is unchanged.
The header tags lost their belt_ prefix in the Part 3.2 rename (20
characters now), but the parser still skipped 25, so every axis read as
pos_x. Found in Hanif Koh's review of #14394.
A scarf joint begins one layer height below the current layer and ramps
up along the wall. On a tilted belt that start is a step backwards along
the belt axis, into the previous layer's wall at the seam: 0.283 mm per
0.2 mm layer at 45 degrees. With an aligned seam the nozzle rams the same
spot on every layer. A BabyBelt Pro benchy with seam_slope_type=external
showed 601 such back-steps from layer 107 on, and in the field the belt
"jumped backwards" and the head knocked the part loose.
Belt printers now skip the scarf in GCode::extrude_loop, and the process
tab greys the scarf controls out for them, as it already does for arc
fitting. The regression test slices a cube on a belt with the scarf
enabled and checks the belt axis never steps back by a layer pitch.
Brings in upstream/belt-printer (the Sept 14 main merge) plus Hanif Koh's
21 review-fix commits from PR #15685, on top of the MachineKinematics
refactor and the purge-prism / tree-support / first-layer-speed fixes.
Conflict resolution:
- BeltGCodeWriter is gone (kinematics refactor), so Hanif's plate-offset
fix for it is ported into GCodeWriter: the first-layer-plane checks in
travel_to_xy / travel_to_xyz / _travel_to_z now evaluate the plate-local
point, and BeltGCode::init_belt_writer hands the stored plate origin to
the writer it installs.
- init_belt_writer(Print&) takes Hanif's signature; the BBL flag is set on
the surviving writer by GCode::_do_export.
- The shared emit_belt_brim_bands() loop keeps the BeltFloorObjectGuard the
local branch added, so apron bands classify first-layer height against
their own object.
- eager_lift keeps effective_type: it now carries set_force_normal_lift().
- GCodeWriter's initializer list follows Hanif's member order with
m_kinematics in its declared position.
- TreeSupport::detect_overhangs uses Hanif's clamped build_plate_tilt_slope()
for the non-belt path and the belt shear for the belt path.
The lift, speed and cached-extruder members now live in the protected section ahead of the private ones; list their initializers first so the list reads in construction order. No behaviour change.
BeltGCode is only created for belt printers, so its hooks no longer re-check belt_printer, and the BBL-machine flag is set once on whichever writer survives init_belt_writer instead of on one about to be discarded.
The bed gravity arrow, volume rendering and the painter/support gizmos each rebuilt
the tilt up-vector from build_plate_tilt_x/y; use one helper that also tolerates
presets without the keys.
Print::has_wipe_tower() is always false for belt printers, but CLI arrange, plate checks and the pre-slice tower clamp still reserved a phantom tower footprint and wrote a clamped wipe_tower_x/y into the config.
Extension layers were all created with id 0, so every one of them could be taken for the first layer by id-only checks (ooze-prevention standby temperature, cached layer ids). Renumber the support layers after inserting them.
gcode_back_transform, first_layer_plane* and belt_printer_infinite_y fell through to invalidate_all_steps(), which re-ran tool ordering, skirt/brim and G-code export on toggles that only affect G-code export.
Apron-only layers printed every band with the first tool, so objects with different brim filaments at the same apron Z shared one filament. Emit each brim filament's bands with its own toolchange.
The ordinary-layer path kept its own copy of the apron band loop. Give emit_belt_brim_bands() an optional brim filament filter and call it from the per-extruder lambda; without a filter it still prints every band, so apron-only layers are unchanged.
toggle_options() now runs on every value change and mode switch; rebuild the
brim_type choices only when the leading-edge entry has to be added or removed.
Every printer's config block lists belt_slice_rotation_angle (default 45), so the processor marked all G-code as belt G-code: imported flat G-code got the belt view on a belt printer, and the belt-only Z handling in the processor ran for non-belt prints whose config block precedes the body. Take the angle only from outside the config block, where only the belt header writes it.
A 90 degree tilt has no finite gravity drift per layer, so the option range
now stops at 89 degrees, matching the cap applied by the support generators.
The three support generators each computed lh * tan(tilt), which overflows
coord_t at 90 degrees and flips sign beyond it (belt sync can write up to
180). One helper now returns the tilt slope with the tilt capped at 89 degrees.
Painted support/seam facets, support volumes, seam occlusion, MMU and fuzzy skin painting (top/bottom
and side facets) and the adaptive infill octree used trafo_centered(), or trafo() with a centre-offset
shift, while the layers were sliced with the belt rotation, remap and Z lift; they now share
PrintObject::trafo_sliced().
The belt writer replaced the plate-offset-carrying writer mid-export, so belt G-code for any plate but the first kept the plate origin and long-travel clipping used the wrong frame. GCode now remembers the offset and hands it to the new writer, and the writer's first-layer probes use the plate-local point it emits.
build_plate_tilt_x/y are printer-preset keys; listing them in the per-object
frequent-settings and object-table bundles stored ignored values in object
configs and crashed the object table on the process config lookup.
Merge origin/main (00429da739) into belt-printer.
Conflicts resolved:
- src/CMakeLists.txt: keep both wxInspector workarounds.
- GCodeProcessor.cpp: keep the belt compare_pos / z_for_height lines.
- PrintObjectSlice.cpp: the belt bbox-Z guard also covers main's
printable_region_ids bookkeeping.
- TreeSupport.cpp: the belt-floor check runs before main's PendingNode
queueing.
- Tab.hpp: keep the belt fields, drop the removed upload description
fields.
- tests/libslic3r/CMakeLists.txt: keep both test files.
Also included:
- eSUN PLA belt presets declare their own filament_id (OFkrxQC4) and
scripts/filament_id_snapshot.json is regenerated, as main's filament_id
check requires.
- Custom.json version bumped to 02.04.00.05 so the belt entries reach
existing installs.
- Fix the ambiguous WithinRel call in the belt apron width test, which
otherwise breaks the fff_print build.
