Brings the belt-printer work up to date with 591 upstream commits.
Conflict resolutions (12 files, 42 hunks):
- GCode.cpp: adopted upstream's per-filament/per-nozzle config refactor
(get_filament_config_index, NOZZLE_CONFIG), the extracted
generate_timelapse_gcode + farthest-point timelapse, and the
ConfigOptionFloatsNullable calibration options. Re-applied the belt
hooks on top: init_belt_writer / axis remap / FirstLayerPlane setup,
on_set_origin, the belt-corrected calib_z for the volumetric speed
tower, and path_on_first_layer (belt's per-path first-layer test) in
place of upstream's layer-index on_first_layer() in the acceleration,
jerk and overhang-detection paths. Swept upstream's new m_writer.
uses to m_writer-> since belt holds the writer by unique_ptr.
- interpolate_value_across_layers: kept upstream's banded stepping and
belt's object-Z-span ratio; dropped upstream's duplicate ratio decl.
- Plater.cpp: took upstream's guarded add_model(...) early-returns and
the VFA vfa_layer_height plumbing; kept the belt temp-tower path,
_calib_apply_belt_mode and belt_calib_flip_ringing_tower. Dropped the
VFA "cut upper" block, superseded upstream by model scaling.
- Brim.cpp: upstream's ObjectInstanceID-keyed brimAreaMap, keeping the
belt early-return.
- 3DScene.cpp: kept both the belt build-plate tilt up_direction and
upstream's per-extruder printable-height shading.
- GCodeViewer.cpp: kept upstream's dim-previous-layers setup and belt's
exemption from the same-result early return.
- TreeSupport.cpp: upstream's >= 0 roof-layer fix inside belt's
belt-floor branch.
- calib.cpp / GCode.hpp / GCodeWriter.{cpp,hpp} / Print.hpp: upstream's
additions adapted to belt's pointer-held writer and helpers.
- Custom.json: kept profile version 02.04.00.03 (belt) over upstream's
02.04.00.01; both bumped from 02.04.00.00.
Building this tree needs the wxInspector dependency, which upstream
added in the interim (python3 and wxWidgets 3.3.2 were already present
in the shared deps prefix).
The rib tower is now always square (prime_tower_width is ignored, as the
GUI already implies), carries the rib origin offset like the BBL tower so
the rib tips sit inside the configured position, clamps the rib length to
the tower diagonal, and extends the ribs for short towers.
# Description
Changing a slicing plugin's configuration had no effect on the sliced
result until you forced a re-slice some other way; it now applies
immediately. Print, printer and filament presets also keep their plugin
configuration separately, so configuring a plugin on one no longer wipes
out what you set on another.
A plugin's custom configuration page gets the same round of improvements
in both the Plugins dialog and the per-preset dialog: it follows the
app's light/dark theme, keeps its state while you edit instead of
resetting under the cursor, and can tell whether it is being edited
globally or for a preset, so "Restore defaults" can be labeled for what
it will actually do. The two bundled examples show this off — Twistify
now ships a custom configuration UI, and Inspector is themed, groups

## Problem
On H2C (carousel) printers, the wipe tower purge volume calculation in
`_make_wipe_tower()` tracks filament state **per-extruder** (2 slots).
Since H2C has up to 7 carousel nozzle slots on a single extruder, all
filaments sharing that extruder are collapsed into one tracking slot.
This causes:
Test:
[5cubes.3mf.zip](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/30092551/5cubes.3mf.zip)
- **Massive redundant AMS flushing** every filament change on the
carousel triggers a full purge against the "previous" filament, even
when the target nozzle slot already has the correct filament loaded
- **60.9g total weight** instead of ~17g (**3.5× material waste**)
- **3h09m print time** instead of ~1h57m (**60% longer**)
## Root Cause
The code uses `nozzle_cur_filament_ids[extruder_id]` (a 2-element array)
to track which filament was last used for each extruder. BambuStudio
uses `NozzleStatusRecorder`, which tracks per `group_id` (physical
carousel slot 0..6).
## Changes
| File | Change |
|---|---|
| `Print.cpp` | Replace `nozzle_cur_filament_ids` with
`NozzleStatusRecorder`. Use `get_nozzle_for_filament()` to resolve the
physical carousel slot per layer. Select `filament_prime_volume_nc` for
nozzle changes, `filament_prime_volume` for filament changes. |
| `PrintConfig.hpp` | Add `ConfigOptionFloats filament_prime_volume`
(per-filament EC prime volume, missing from upstream but present in BBS
and H2C profiles) |
| `PrintConfig.cpp` | Register `filament_prime_volume` with default
45mm³ (matching BBS) |
| `Preset.cpp` | Add `filament_prime_volume` to preset keys |
Also includes `tests/compare_analyzer/` - two standalone Python tools
for G-code slice comparison and temperature timeline analysis (stdlib
only, no dependencies).
## Test Results (5-color H2C Hybrid print, same 3mf project)
| Metric | Upstream (broken) | **Fixed** | BBS (reference) |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Total weight** | 60.90g | **16.20g** ✅ | 17.47g |
| **Print time** | 3h09m | **1h57m** ✅ | 1h51m |
| **Filament changes** | 105 | 105 | 140 |
| **Tool changes** | 35 | 35 | 35 |
| **Critical discrepancies vs BBS** | ⚠️ YES | ✅ None | — |
## Analysis Tools (`tests/compare_analyzer/`)
Two standalone Python tools (stdlib only, no dependencies) for deep
G-code comparison:
- **`compare_slices.py`** - comprehensive .3mf slice comparison:
filament usage, nozzle mapping, tool change sequences, prime tower
analysis, temperature timeline, retract parameters, and automatic
critical discrepancy detection (weight/time anomalies)
- **`show_temp_plot.py`** - interactive HTML temperature timeline
plotter for visualising heater profiles during multi-nozzle prints
(supports single-file and side-by-side comparison)
Usage:
```bash
python3 tests/compare_analyzer/compare_slices.py file1.3mf file2.3mf --labels "Upstream" "Fixed"
python3 tests/compare_analyzer/show_temp_plot.py file1.3mf file2.3mf

## Compatibility
Safe for non-carousel printers: when each extruder has a single nozzle,
`group_id == extruder_id`, so `NozzleStatusRecorder` behaves identically
to the original per-extruder tracking. The `filament_prime_volume`
default (45mm³) matches the existing global `prime_volume` default.
## Reference
BambuStudio `Print.cpp` `_make_wipe_tower()` L3341-3392 -
`NozzleStatusRecorder` pattern.
- WipeTower: use filament_ramming_volumetric_speed(_nc) for ramming, falling back to
max_vol_speed only when nil; gate precool temps on enable_pre_heating
- ToolOrderUtils: disable the inter-layer forecast in the per-nozzle base reorder so
H2D/H2C ordering is unchanged
- PrintConfig: stop stripping filament_prime_volume in handle_legacy; document that
prime_volume drives the Type2 wipe tower and filament_prime_volume the Type1 one
- GCodeProcessor: exclude post-print end-gcode M400 dwells from the M73 estimate and
drop the dead air-filtration state
- Trim verbose BambuStudio source-location comments across the port
The upstream _make_wipe_tower() tracked purge volumes per-extruder (2 slots),
which collapsed all H2C carousel filaments into one slot and caused massive
redundant AMS flushing (~40g instead of ~0.4g).
Changes:
- Print.cpp: Replace per-extruder nozzle_cur_filament_ids with BBS
NozzleStatusRecorder that tracks per group_id (carousel slot 0..6).
Use get_nozzle_for_filament() to resolve physical slot per layer.
Select filament_prime_volume_nc for nozzle changes, filament_prime_volume
for filament changes (BBS pattern).
- PrintConfig.hpp/cpp: Register filament_prime_volume (per-filament EC prime
volume, default 45mm³) matching BBS PrintConfig.
- Preset.cpp: Add filament_prime_volume to preset keys list.
Safe for non-carousel printers: group_id == extruder_id when each extruder
has one nozzle, so NozzleStatusRecorder behaves identically to the original
per-extruder tracking.

Resolve five conflicts, all of which needed both sides rather than a pick:
- BackgroundSlicingProcess: ours was a pure tabs->spaces reformat of base, so
keep main's per-filament volume/nozzle map read-back (its only change here).
- GUI_App: main's #12506 else-if attached to an `if` this branch deleted;
re-expressed onto the same-agent early-return path (the agent factory caches
per id, so pointer equality is the same predicate).
- MainFrame: both sides relocated Sync Presets independently; keep main's
push_notification plus the branch's Plugins menu items.
- Tab: the "TODO: Orca: Support hybrid" blocks were unchanged base, not a branch
decision; take main's enabled Hybrid to match the already auto-merged siblings.
- test_config: union of both sides' cases (6 plugin + 9 multi-nozzle).
# Description
Adds a --slice (-s) mode to the profile validator that slices a
two-colour cube through every shipped printer, expanding all custom
g-code (change_filament_gcode, machine start/end, etc.). This catches
invalid-placeholder / bad-flow / slicing errors that the static JSON
checks and unit tests can't see.
Included:
- Validator: new -s sweep mode; per-profile error attribution in the
log; resolves the synthetic 2nd-filament nozzle-mapping so multi-nozzle
BBL printers (incl. the Direct-Drive+Bowden X2D) validate cleanly.
- CI, two complementary paths:
- check_profiles.yml — runs the sweep on profile-only PRs (nightly
binary).
- build_all.yml — new parallel slice_check_linux job runs it on
engine/src PRs with the PR-built binary (build_all doesn't trigger on
resources/**, so no overlap). Runs off the build's artifact, so it
doesn't lengthen the build leg.
- Profile fixes surfaced by the sweep: Creality, FLSun, Ginger, Qidi,
RatRig, iQ.
- Engine: whitelist BBL firmware T-opcodes (T1001/T65279/T65535) in the
time estimator (log-only, no g-code change); dedupe a
per-filament/per-layer log flood in get_config_index.

[How to Download Pull Requests Artifacts for
Testing](https://www.orcaslicer.com/wiki/how_to_download_pr_artifacts)
The time estimator's speed/acceleration limits were indexed by time
mode only, reading slot 0 of the per-(extruder x volume-type) arrays
the multi-extruder profiles already carry (H2C 0.4: 8 entries, H2D
0.4: 10). Every move was therefore modelled with the first machine
slot's limits regardless of which nozzle variant was printing -
estimation fidelity only, since emitted feedrates/accelerations are
decided on the slicing side.
Now the estimator resolves the machine slot of the nozzle currently
mounted in the active extruder: the nozzle grouping context is handed
to the processor BEFORE the streaming replay (new member + setter -
deliberately separate from the post-stream result-field handover that
gates the richer change-time model, whose timing is unchanged), the
occupancy recorder is populated on every filament change (bookkeeping
decoupled from the gated time model; recorder writes have no time
effect), and get_machine_config_idx maps (volume type x extruder type
x extruder) to the slot via the printer's variant layout, newly
carried on the processor result. The feedrate/acceleration getters
gain a slot parameter indexing [slot*2 + mode]; jerk and the
print/travel/retract accelerations stay mode-only. Reloaded sliced
projects re-estimate with the result's saved grouping context;
imported bare g-code degrades to slot 0 - the historical read.
M201/M203 write the parsed value into EVERY slot's mode entry (a
firmware envelope change is global), which keeps per-slot reads in
lockstep with the mode-only reads they replace: the fleet emits
envelope lines before any motion, so estimates - hence the estimated
time header, M73 lines, and every other byte - are unchanged (20/20
pinned-slice byte gate bit-identical, incl. the sequential repro
sliced twice). Fidelity improves where envelope emission is off or a
migrating per-layer plan moves filaments across variants.
Tests: a stub-driven processor case proving the slot follows the
active nozzle through the exact production path (T..H.. commands,
fallback recorder bookkeeping, 4x time ratio on the slow variant),
that emitted M201/M203 reach every slot, and that a missing context
degrades to slot 0. Suites green (libslic3r 48998/169, fff_print
667/62).
When the per-layer filament selector (enable_filament_dynamic_map)
migrates a filament across nozzle variants (e.g. Standard -> High Flow),
the config write-back only stored the derived extruder map; every
per-variant filament value (retraction, nozzle temperature, flow,
flush...) kept the numbers resolved from the pre-slice static mapping.
Now both dynamic write-back sites (the by-layer branch and the
sequential stitch) branch on the result's dynamic support. Migrating
results run a mixed-filament expansion that regathers every
filament_options_with_variant key from the pristine per-variant
superset, giving a migrating filament one config slot per (extruder
type x nozzle volume type) it lands on - filament_self_index,
filament_extruder_variant, and all value arrays grow in lockstep - and
recompute the retract overrides with per-slot machine indices so a nil
slot falls back to its own variant's machine value. Non-migrating
dynamic results take the merged three-map write-back so re-applies
reproduce from the written maps. Unrouted filaments resolve from the
result's own default map, so slot resolution never depends on
filament_map round-tripping through the plate config.
Print::apply reproduces the identical expansion from the persisted
group result (shared dedupe helper, expansion function, and slot
indices on both sides): the expanded keys sit in the psWipeTower /
psGCodeExport invalidate lists, so without the reproduction every
re-apply after a selector slice would diff non-empty and permanently
invalidate. cal_non_support_filaments now resolves the extruder per
layer from the published result for dynamic groupings.
filament_map_2 keeps its apply-time static derivation; nothing on the
dynamic path reads it (the per-slot machine indices key the override
merge), and per-(extruder x volume-type) machine limits in the g-code
processor remain a documented follow-up.
Every change is gated behind is_dynamic_group_reorder() or a persisted
result with dynamic support; no profile sets the flag, so the static
fleet's instruction stream is unchanged (20/20 pinned-slice byte gate
identical, incl. the sequential repro sliced twice, deterministic).
Tests: expansion unit coverage (migrating slots, unrouted fallback via
the default map, mis-sized volume map ignored, nullable retract keys in
lockstep, slot machine index layout), an end-to-end stub-driven
write-back asserting expanded slots, per-layer config-index resolution,
the override merge incl. the nil-slot variant fallback, and re-apply
stability, plus a real selector slice staying valid across re-apply.
Suites green (libslic3r 48987/168, fff_print 633/60).
Sequential (by-object) prints were incoherent with the per-layer filament
selector (enable_filament_dynamic_map): the by-object branch published a
static grouping while each per-object ToolOrdering independently ran the
dynamic planner from an empty nozzle status and wrote its own map to the
config (one write per object, last object wins). The exported toolchange
sequences then disagreed with the published result that drives the
per-layer maps, placeholders, and selector emission.
Now the by-object branch, when the selector is enabled, plans each unique
object once — threading the physical nozzle occupancy and the previous
object's last filament into the next plan — stitches the per-object
per-layer nozzle maps into one print-wide result (gap-filled by the new
normalize_nozzle_map_per_layer so any layer index resolves a filament's
nozzle consistently), publishes it, and writes the derived extruder map
back once. The plans are cached on the Print and g-code export consumes
the cache: the ToolOrdering seed changes the plan input (dontcare
assignment, first-layer reorder), so a fresh export-time construction
could re-plan differently from the published stitch. The per-object
dynamic write-back is gated off for sequential prints.
Every change is gated behind is_dynamic_group_reorder(); no profile sets
the flag, so the static fleet's instruction stream is unchanged (20/20
pinned-slice byte gate identical, incl. the by-object repro sliced twice).
Tests: normalize unit coverage (carry-forward, back-fill, ragged input),
stitched-blocks selector detection, and an end-to-end by-object selector
slice (apply -> process -> export) asserting the published stitched
result, one cached plan per object, the config write-back, and a clean
export. Suites green (libslic3r 48958/165, fff_print 633/60).
The Print-level LayeredNozzleGroupResult had a single producer, the
by-layer branch of ToolOrdering, which is gated to non-sequential prints.
The by-object branch in Print::process computed a grouping only in auto
map modes and never stored it, so a sequential slice exported with a null
group result: the per-nozzle placeholder tables came up empty and any
start g-code indexing nozzle_diameter_at_nozzle_id[] aborted with
"Indexing an empty vector variable". A prior by-layer slice masked the
bug by leaving its (never cleared) result on the Print.
Now the by-object branch runs get_recommended_filament_maps in every
static map mode (in manual modes the result mirrors the user's
assignment, deviations throw as in by-layer) and publishes it
print-wide. The config write-back stays gated to auto modes: in manual
modes it would only re-store the pre-slice values.
Regression test: a two-object by-object print must publish a non-null
group result and resolve nozzle_diameter_at_nozzle_id[] in start g-code
(both fail without the fix). Suites green (libslic3r 48929/162,
fff_print 633/60); 18-fixture byte gate identical; the by-object repro
project goes from the export error to valid g-code, determinism x2.
- the g-code writer tracks the current layer id and resolves
FILAMENT_CONFIG/NOZZLE_CONFIG (plus every non-macro variant lookup,
toolchange placeholder scalars, and the change-filament flush
overrides) through Print's per-filament, per-layer config-index
resolvers instead of the filament->extruder collapse
- update_layer_related_config refreshes the per-layer
extruder/volume/nozzle maps in the writer config;
update_placeholder_parser_with_variant_params remaps the
filament-variant arrays into filament-id space for custom g-code
(Orca's flush placeholder computation moves inside it)
- the engine's concrete per-filament volume assignment now merges into
the config write-back (the temporary hold from the producer commit
is lifted together with these consumers), and the background process
reads the computed volume map back to the plate
- append_full_config dumps the resolved filament_map_2 slots
- update_used_filament_values gains a bounds guard
- tests: per-filament Hybrid slot resolution + null-result fallback
Result: on a Hybrid extruder, each filament's features slice with its
assigned sub-nozzle's variant values (speeds, volumetric limits,
retraction). Verified on a 4-filament H2C Hybrid project: outer walls
split into three feedrate populations (30/50/200 mm/s), toolpath
geometry byte-identical, deterministic across repeated slices. All 18
non-Hybrid reference fixtures stay byte-identical except the
filament_map_2 header value now showing the real slot. Auto grouping
ties (multiple zero-flush perfect matchings) may pick a different
filament-to-nozzle isolation than other slicers; verified co-optimal.
- Print::update_filament_maps_to_config takes filament/volume/nozzle
maps, backfills an empty volume map from extruder types, rebuilds
filament_map_2, re-expands the per-filament variant arrays, and
recomputes retract overrides keyed by resolved slots
- grouping writes its result back in every non-sequential mode;
manual multi-nozzle grouping validates the user mapping and raises a
translatable error on deviation; the engine's concrete volume
assignment is deliberately not merged yet (per-filament arrays are
already consumed by filament id, so materializing High Flow now
would change motion before the layer-aware resolvers land)
- Print::apply treats the three map keys as engine outputs in auto
modes (erased from the diff and adopted), compares them against used
filaments in manual mode, and keeps the pre-expansion snapshot in
sync with the late normalization pass so rebuilt headers reflect the
sliced state instead of resurrecting stale values
- volume/nozzle maps and extruder_nozzle_stats join the invalidation
group of filament_map (wipe tower + skirt/brim)
- PresetBundle composes full configs with an optional per-filament
volume map (plate map, else defaults derived from each extruder's
flow type); project config keeps the map sized across filament
count changes
- PartPlate stores per-plate volume/nozzle maps; Plater injects them
at every slice-composition site (incl. g-code reload and wipe-tower
estimation); BackgroundSlicingProcess reads engine results back to
the plate in auto modes
- per-filament map trust guards relaxed to size-match everywhere now
that every producer sizes the map; single-filament explicit flow
assignments are honored
- tests: grouping volume maps stay concrete, merge semantics of
update_used_filament_values, single-filament override honoring
Motion g-code is byte-identical fleet-wide including Hybrid projects
(19-fixture gate + repro determinism double-slice). Header deltas:
the map keys now dump real values, and stale pre-normalization values
(e.g. enable_prime_tower on single-used-filament prints) no longer
leak into the config block.
- Print::get_nozzle_config_index / get_filament_config_indx resolve a
filament's variant slot per layer from the nozzle group result, with
hashed index caches; when no group result is published (sequential
prints), they fall back to the static filament->extruder mapping so
behavior is unchanged
- filament_map_2 caches each filament's resolved print-variant slot;
rebuilt in Print::apply after the filament_map diff handling and in
the filament-map write-back
- filament retract overrides now key by slot indices: apply_override
fallback indexing flips to 0-based, Print::apply passes
filament_map/extruder indices, the write-back passes filament_map_2
(identical resolution while slots equal extruders)
- filament_volume_map/filament_nozzle_map/filament_map_2/
filament_self_index become PrintConfig static members (required for
member access); grouping input guards tightened so their registered
1-element defaults are never mistaken for real per-filament maps
(single-filament manual mode keeps the mix-marker fallback)
- update_filament_self_index_cache refreshed at every full-config
assignment
- tests: 0-based apply_override fallback, get_config_index_base
hit/miss/mixed-type cases
The resolvers are not consumed by the g-code writer yet. Non-Hybrid
g-code is unchanged except the config header, which now serializes the
three new static keys (defaults until the per-filament producer lands);
verified by the 19-fixture byte gate: 3 added header lines per fixture,
zero motion changes.
- get_extruder_nozzle_volume_count derives per-extruder volume-type slot
lists from extruder_nozzle_stats (absent stats = one slot per extruder)
- update_values_to_printer_extruders learns the slot layout: when any
extruder mixes volume types, option arrays keep one slot per
(extruder x volume type), extruder-ascending then volume-ascending;
single-slot resolution takes the filament's volume type on mixed
extruders
- update_values_to_printer_extruders_for_multiple_filaments applies a
per-filament nozzle_volume_type override from filament_volume_map
(when sized to the filament count) and remaps filament_self_index
through the same pipeline as every other filament key
- get_config_index_base + is_auto_filament_map_mode helpers (consumers
land with the per-filament config-index resolvers)
- callers updated: PresetBundle composition paths, PrintApply (counts
hoisted above the extruder_applied guard), Print write-back
- new tests: slot counting, Hybrid slot expansion incl. stride 2,
per-filament override, non-Hybrid degeneracy
Non-Hybrid printers keep their variant layout and values (proven by a
19-fixture byte gate; the only header delta is filament_self_index now
flowing through the same variant pipeline as its sibling filament
keys). Hybrid slices grow the config-block variant arrays to one entry
per sub-nozzle volume type; motion g-code is unchanged until the
g-code writer consumes the new slots.
G-code post-processing is now a step of the slicing-pipeline plugin rather than a
separate capability type. One capability class can transform slices at the geometry
seams AND edit the final G-code, behind a single picker/option.
- Add SlicingPipelineStepPlugin::psGCodePostProcess (bound as
orca.slicing.Step.psGCodePostProcess). Unlike the geometry steps it fires from the
GUI export path in PostProcessor.cpp, not from Print::process(): ctx.print/ctx.object
are None and the plugin edits the file at ctx.gcode_path in place. It may run more
than once per slice (file export and/or upload) and its output is not shown in the
preview.
- Extend SlicingPipelineContext with gcode_path/host/output_name and a C++-only
full_config; config_value() falls back to it when there is no live Print.
- PostProcessor.cpp dispatches SlicingPipelinePluginCapability at psGCodePostProcess,
driven by the existing slicing_pipeline_plugin option.
- The exported G-code lives outside data_dir(), so the plugin audit sandbox would
block the write; the trampoline's audit setup grants ctx.gcode_path's folder as a
scoped allowed root, gated on a non-empty gcode_path so the geometry-step hooks gain
no extra filesystem access.
BREAKING CHANGE: the separate G-code post-processing capability type is removed.
- orca.gcode.GCodePluginCapabilityBase and orca.PluginType.PostProcessing are gone;
post-processing plugins migrate to orca.slicing.SlicingPipelineCapabilityBase +
Step.psGCodePostProcess (and gain ctx.params / ctx.config_value()).
- The post_process_plugin config option is removed; use slicing_pipeline_plugin.
Presets carrying the old key degrade to the standard unknown-key warning.
- Manifest type = "post-processing" now maps to Unknown (advisory only; the loader
dispatches on the C++ get_type()).
Also repairs two latent build breaks the branch carried: stale Step enum value usages
in test_slicing_pipeline_hook.cpp and a reference to the removed
ConfigOptionDef::PluginType::None in Tab::on_value_change (now is_plugin_backed()).
Adds the orca_gcode_stamp sample plugin and a psGCodePostProcess binding test.
Filament grouping already consumed per-filament forbidden nozzle volume
types, but every call site passed an empty map, so a variant-restricted
filament (e.g. one limited to "Direct Drive TPU High Flow") could be
auto-grouped onto an incompatible nozzle flow type on multi-variant
printers.
- add convert_to_nvt_type() to parse extruder variant strings
- add Print::get_filament_unprintable_flow(): forbidden volume types =
printer extruder variants minus the filament's declared variants;
filaments declaring no variants stay unrestricted
- feed the map into grouping at the by-object path (Print.cpp) and all
six mapping/planning sites in reorder_extruders_for_minimum_flush_volume
- unit-test the string parser
Non-restricted configurations produce an empty map, so existing
printers' grouping and g-code are unchanged.
Adds PluginHostSlicing, which registers the print-graph data model (Print,
PrintObject, Layer, LayerRegion, Surface, ExPolygon, extrusions, ...) into the
orca.host submodule in the same raw-class style as PluginHostApi's Model/Preset
graph, with shared helpers in PluginBindingUtils. SlicingPipelinePluginCapability
is trimmed to the capability surface (the standalone SlicingNumpy helper is folded
away). Adds the Twistify example plugin next to Inset and broadens the binding,
hook, and plugin-install tests.
Introduces a plugin capability that runs Python at the seams of Print::process(),
letting a plugin read and rewrite slicing state as it is computed.
- New slicing_pipeline_plugin config option; selected plugin refs are serialized
into the print manifest.
- Print gains an injectable hook fired at each pipeline step (posSlice,
posPerimeters, posInfill, ...). It is a no-op when unset, fires only on genuine
(re)computation, and never on the use-cache path.
- orca.slicing submodule: SlicingPipelineCapabilityBase plus a trampoline and a
Step enum. Capabilities read the live graph through zero-copy int64 numpy views
(contour/holes geometry with unscaled coordinates, flattened toolpath data) and
edit it through 2D-geometry mutators with cache-invariant refresh.
- GUI dispatcher runs capabilities during slicing under the GIL, turns plugin
errors into slicing errors, honors cancellation, and adds the plugin picker.
- Ships the InsetEverySlice sample plugin and binding/hook tests.
Refactor skirt and brim ownership and emission flow
Refactor skirt and brim generation around a common object/group
ownership model.
Skirts and brims are now emitted as a coordinated preamble
(skirt -> brim -> object) instead of being generated and emitted
through multiple independent code paths.
Changes:
- Fix repeated skirt emission caused by the previous skirt state
tracking logic.
- Restore local skirt/brim ordering for per-object skirts in
By Layer mode.
- Emit brims together with their owning object or object group.
- Handle combined brims independently from skirt grouping.
- Handle draft shields through the same ownership model as skirts.
- Fix draft shield generation when skirt height is zero.
- Generate draft shields after brim geometry is known, preventing
draft shields from overlapping brims.
- Reject unsafe grouped per-object skirt configurations in
By Object mode.
- Remove legacy skirt emission paths and state-management
workarounds.
Support brim generation remains unchanged.
