The mode-type tag (imex_mode_types config + imex_mode_type_for helper +
Split sentinel) was added in 0bb1cef as scaffolding for the Split rendering
work that landed in 4370cca and then got reverted in d9be71b. With Phase 2-4
gone, this scaffolding is now unused dead code — and the design we settled
on instead is to leave topology entirely implicit (parsed from active_tools_str)
rather than carrying a per-mode type tag the user would otherwise have to
manage explicitly.
The multi-color slicing block + bare T<n> suppression that were the actual
substance of the safeguards work stay in place:
- imex_multicolor_block_reason still allows multi-color exactly when 2+ tools
are active on the primary's gantry — Felix's hypothetical IQEX paired-gantry
case works through this path, no new mode type required.
- Slicer-side: bare T<n> stays suppressed at print-start in IMEX parallel modes;
mid-print T<n> emits naturally for the legitimate IQEX 4-tool-active scenario.
Removed:
- ConfigOptionStrings imex_mode_types (PrintConfig.hpp/cpp + Preset.cpp key list)
- imex_mode_type_for helper + kImexModeType{Primary,Copy,Mirror,Split} sentinels
- mode_type parameter on imex_multicolor_block_reason and the Split short-circuit
- mode_type plumbing in Print::validate and PartPlate::has_imex_multimaterial_conflict
- Three unit tests for imex_mode_type_for + two Split-specific multicolor block tests

Felix14-v2 PR review feedback (https://github.com/OrcaSlicer/OrcaSlicer/pull/13086#issuecomment-4323696312)
plus the slice-time validation work that follows from his bug list.
UI polish:
- Capitalize "Primary" in display (right-click mode menu, plate tooltip).
Sentinel stays lowercase for wire compatibility.
- Pre-slice-warnings checkbox now uses Orca's ::CheckBox so it matches the
green toggle style of the rest of the IDEX/IQEX configuration page.
- DPI-scaled the IMEXModesCtrl (modes editor) sub-panels, button grid,
text wraps, gcode textarea, and the ghost-tooltip swatch (imgui.scaled).
Legend swatches sized to body-text height for visual balance.
- Primary mode tool buttons in the modes editor are now disabled (read-
only): cycling roles on the IMEX-off mode is a no-op and confusing.
- Modes editor sub-panels now explicitly inherit the app's window-default
dark colour so chromeless ScalableButtons don't render with a visible
light box around their icons on GTK dark themes.
- Per-mode-line reset arrows in the modes editor: each row gets a small
reset bitmap that snaps that row's name+tools+gcode triplet back to the
saved preset's value. matches_config() guard on the page-level reload
prevents the textbox-being-typed-into from being destroyed mid-keystroke.
- New View menu item "Show IDEX/IQEX Toolhead" — toggles the per-carriage
footprint boxes during G-code preview playback. Gated to Preview tab +
IMEX printer; backed by app_config so it persists.
Coordinated config migrations:
- imex_tool_layout and imex_viz_theme migrate from coString to coEnum
(ImexToolLayout / ImexVizTheme). Existing wire format preserved so
saved presets and 3MFs deserialize unchanged. Side-benefit: both now
pick up standard Field rendering and so finally show reset arrows.
Slice-time safeguards (the validation half):
- imex_suppresses_bare_toolchange(parallel_mode, count): suppresses the
slicer's bare T<n> at print-start in any IMEX parallel mode (the user's
imex_mode_gcode + machine_start_gcode owns tool activation there). Mid-
print T<n> emits normally — Print::validate blocks the configurations
where mid-print T<n> wouldn't make sense. Applied to both code paths
inside GCode::set_extruder (the long multi-extruder path AND the
single-extruder path that fires when multiple_extruders=false).
- imex_multicolor_block_reason(): hard-stop validator returning a user-
facing reason string when the active IMEX configuration can't physically
support multi-color. Catches IDEX (1 tool/gantry), 2-tool-active IQEX
(no within-gantry swap topology), and any MMU/AFC lane sharing among
used filaments. Wired into Print::validate as a slice blocker, and into
PartPlate::has_imex_multimaterial_conflict so the plater badge agrees
with the slice block (no more false positives where the badge warns but
the slice goes through).
- New imex_mode_types config option (parallel array to imex_mode_names)
and imex_mode_type_for() helper. Mode-type tag drives behaviour: zones,
ghosts, and validation interpret modes differently per type. Initial
types: "primary", "copy", "mirror", "split". Split modes are explicitly
designed for paired-gantry IQEX multi-color and bypass the gantry-pair
check in imex_multicolor_block_reason (MMU sharing still blocks them).
Test coverage:
- New unit tests cover imex_suppresses_bare_toolchange (4 cases),
imex_multicolor_block_reason (8 cases including IDEX, IQEX 2-/4-tool-
active, MMU sharing, missing primary, Split type), and imex_mode_type_for
(3 cases including legacy fallback). Total: 186 IMEX assertions across
71 test cases, all passing.

* Optimize extrusion role-change gcode handling
Cache gcode template strings and current filament id, and guard creation of DynamicConfig/placeholder processing behind a check that at least one role-change gcode is non-empty. This avoids redundant config lookups and DynamicConfig/placeholder parsing when no custom role-change gcode is defined, improving clarity and performance without changing behavior.

# Description
This commit adds the enhancement of https://github.com/OrcaSlicer/OrcaSlicer/issues/13116
- Adds checkboxes to enable or disable the fan speed override during print or after printing is completed. This allows users to, for example, only override the fan speed during printing whilst leaving the fan speed as is set in the machine gcode at the end.
- Two new flags are added for this: `activate_air_filtration_during_print[extruder]` and `activate_air_filtration_on_completion[extruder]`. These can be used to more finely control machine gcode
- Current filament settings remain as they are: `activate_air_filtration[extruder]` settings are unaffected and by default both new flags are set to true, ensuring the same set behavior as before.
# Screenshots/Recordings/Graphs
<img width="856" height="208" alt="Screenshot From 2026-04-09 18-57-14" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/e71e7de3-2def-4046-b5dc-55bf3b516ce5" />
As you can see there are now checkboxes left of the fan speeds. They have their own tooltip too, which also helps identify the correct flags for users who want to adjust their machine gcode.
## Tests
I have thoroughly tested this on my own computer (CachyOS) and on my printer. I have also carefully checked the gcode in every possible state this is in and ensured that the unsaved changes dialog properly displays the labels for these settings. Flags are set properly, sliced files properly use the flags if you check for them in machine gcode and default behavior is unaffected for those who have already changed settings for air filtration. From what I can see, this does exactly what it should be doing without any issues.
update_non_diff_values_to_base_config sizes variant_index to the parent's
(inherits-target's) extruder count, and set_with_restore then replaces
the child's vector with a parent-sized one. When the child preset has
more extruders than the parent (e.g. an IDEX preset inheriting from a
single-nozzle base), every key in printer_options_with_variant_1 is
truncated to the parent's size on project reload, destroying per-extruder
data.
Observable symptoms: objects render with the wrong color (often black)
after reopening the project, and the printer preset shows a permanent
dirty-asterisk that no save/reload cycle can clear.
The child's saved value is authoritative for its own extruder count, so
skip the parent-shaped merge for the variant-keyed branch when cur >
target. Confirmed by loading a 2-extruder IDEX preset inheriting from a
single-nozzle base: all 24 variant-keyed options previously truncated
from child_size=2 -> 1 are now preserved at size 2.

Replaces the plater-icon popover with colored transparent ghost copies
of primary-head instances on the plate, one per secondary active head
under its Copy/Mirror role transform. Left-click on a ghost opens a
compact filament picker popover for the ghost's head (MMU lane override).
Ghosts track the primary through drag/rotate/scale/mirror and invalidate
on mode or pem changes.
Key pieces:
IMEXHelpers -- imex_head_transform (Primary/Copy/Mirror), shared role
parser, per-head filament resolution with X-axis Mirror anchor.
PartPlate -- ghost state, volume rebuild on mode/map/object mutation,
primary_origin plumbed for Mirror reflection across the primary-row
gantry plane.
GLCanvas3D -- ghost rendering with per-head filament color and
translucent blending; picking routed via volume composite id.
Plater -- ghost click + tooltip; plater icon left-click always cycles.
IMEXFilamentPickerPopover -- BitmapComboBox row for one secondary head,
writes imex_head_filament_map on selection.
bbs_3mf -- round-trip the per-plate imex_head_filament_map option.
PrintConfig -- add imex_head_filament_map as a plate option.
MMU/AFC routing for parallel modes relies on the printer profile's
physical_extruder_map (see prior commit for authoring format). Primary-
row heads and their per-plate filament overrides are resolved through
that map, so PA and temperature emission address the correct physical
extruder when multiple logical slots share one carriage.
Tests: IMEXHelpers coverage for Primary/Copy/Mirror transforms
including a 2x2 off-row regression guard for the X-axis reflection fix.
Fix segfault in CLI mode when extruder/filament options absent
When slicing via CLI (--slice) with a BBL printer profile such as the
P1S, update_values_to_printer_extruders and
update_values_to_printer_extruders_for_multiple_filaments dereference
option pointers without checking for nullptr first, causing a SIGSEGV.
Root cause: printer profiles that have different_extruder=true (e.g.
P1S variants) trigger these code paths even in single-extruder CLI
invocations where filament_map, extruder_type, and nozzle_volume_type
options may not be present in the resolved config.
Fix: add null guards before dereferencing option<> / dynamic_cast<>
results, consistent with the pattern used in PR #12719. Log a warning
and return early rather than crashing.
Fixes CLI --slice segfault (exit 139) with P1S profiles.

Temperature emission (GCode.cpp, PrintConfig.cpp, ConfigManipulation.cpp):
- Set temperatures for all active tools in layer_change_gcode for iMEX
parallel modes (primary + secondary carriages)
- Fix filament temperature commands so Layer 1 temperatures only emit on
the first layer; subsequent layers use normal layer-change temperatures
- Remove stray temperature commands that fired outside the intended context
- Consolidate iMEX temperature handling into the second-layer transition;
clean up emission logic and naming throughout
Pre-slice warning dialogs (PartPlate.cpp/hpp, Plater.cpp):
- Collect per-plate IMEX warnings before slicing: multi-material conflict,
bed temperature mismatch between carriages (>5 °C delta), and filament
type incompatibility
- Show a dismissible Yes/No dialog from both "Slice Plate" and "Slice All"
actions; No returns to 3D view, Yes proceeds to slice
- Refresh plate thumbnails after the panel switch so previously-generated
thumbnails are not left black

Register imex_mode (string), imex_mode_index (int), and imex_mode_gcode
(string) in OtherSlicingStatesConfigDef so they appear in the placeholder
search UI under Slicing State.
Set all three via placeholder_parser().set() before any script processing
in _do_export(). Process imex_mode_gcode first so {global} declarations
defined there flow forward into machine_start_gcode.

IMEXModesCtrl:
- Primary mode is now a non-deletable first row stored as sentinel
"primary" in imex_mode_names; older configs load cleanly
- New rows default T0 → Primary when no tool assignment is stored
- Filter "primary" from plater popup/cycle list to prevent double entry
- imex_tools_per_gantry cap raised 2 → 4
Zone sizing:
- Zone width/height now based on active tool count only; inactive tools
donate their bed share to active neighbors (fixes 4-tool layout)
- Active col/row maps (col_to_zone/row_to_zone) applied consistently
across zone fills, collision strips, and primary zone box
GCodeViewer animation:
- Mirror position formula fixed: left-of-copy reflects across copy
zone's left edge; right-of-copy reflects across right edge
(T3 was rendering on top of T1)
- strip_width/row_strip_height use active counts, matching PartPlate
Stability:
- Early return in calc_imex_zones() when tool_states is empty; prevents
OOB crash on new printer with stale process-preset mode name
- is_imex toggle in on_config_change calls refresh_imex_icons() so the
plate mode icon appears without requiring a new project
GCode:
- Remove "primary" guard so Primary mode gcode field is emitted at
start of print

- Add per-plate iXex mode icon to the plate toolbar (normal, hover, dark, dark-hover SVG variants)
- Left-click cycles through available modes; right-click shows a popup menu with all modes as radio items
- Mode changes are recorded in the undo/redo snapshot system
- Fix double context menu: suppress EVT_GLCANVAS_PLATE_RIGHT_CLICK and EVT_GLCANVAS_RIGHT_CLICK when the iXex icon popup was already shown
- Remove ixex_parallel_mode combo from Print Settings > Other > Special mode (superseded by per-plate icon)
- Remove dead code: refresh_ixex_mode_combo(), m_ixex_mode_combo member, related Tab reload hook
- iXex mode persisted in 3MF project files via existing plate metadata serialization

Stop detecting extruders used on the first layer and remove the is_multimaterial_first_layer guard.

Cleans up unused code and simplifies brim-generation conditions.
* Remove material specification from unified brim comment

Config key rename (breaking for saved profiles — call out in PR):
ixex_carriage_width_x/y → ixex_nozzle_clearance_x/y
Labels updated to "Nozzle Clearance X/Y" with consistent tooltips
describing the measurement as nozzle-to-collision-side-edge distance.
Strip math fix:
Previously halved the clearance value (× 0.5) under the assumption
the nozzle was centered in the carriage. The measurement is now the
literal nozzle-to-edge distance, so the × 0.5 factor is removed.
The collision strip width now equals the configured value directly.
Carriage box visualization (GCodeViewer):
- Add per-carriage box_offset_x/y so the nozzle marker sits at the
physically correct edge of the footprint box rather than centered.
- X: zone-based by default (nozzle at inner edge facing bed center).
Copy secondaries inherit the primary's X orientation (same movement
direction). Mirror secondaries use the collision-side edge.
- Y: always row-based regardless of copy/mirror mode. Gantry is always
behind the nozzle (high-Y); front-row primaries with a back-row
secondary override to place nozzle at the low-Y edge.
- Fix stale mesh bug: GLModel::init_from() is a no-op when already
initialized. Call reset() before init_from() so mesh rebuilds
correctly when nozzle clearance values change in config.
- Remove m_ixex_toolhead_box_dims (was the now-unnecessary cache key).

Introduces first-class parallel printing (copy/mirror modes) for printers
with multiple independent X-axis carriages. Branded iXex (independent X
extruder), targeting Klipper firmware with a firmware-agnostic design.
- PrintConfig: new printer options declaring iXex capability and geometry
(is_ixex, ixex_gantry_count, ixex_tools_per_gantry, carriage dims,
tool layout, and per-mode name/role/gcode arrays)
- Preset: iXex keys registered in printer and process preset option lists
- Tab: IXexModesCtrl visual grid editor in Printer preset tab; mode
dropdown in Process → Others tab; clear_pages() nulls iXex pointers to
prevent dangling-pointer crash on preset save
- PartPlate: 2D zone visualization (active/dimmed/dividers) and
placement-violation detection (has_ixex_placement_violations) that
blocks slicing when objects fall outside the primary zone
- Plater: violation detection wired into update_background_process so
the Slice button is disabled with an error notification on violation
- GCode: mode-activation G-code injected before machine_start_gcode
- GCodeViewer: multi-carriage toolhead markers in sequential preview,
filament legend annotated with active carriage count and mode name
Previously, wipe tower behavior was determined by checking if the printer
was a QIDI vendor. This introduces a configurable enum (Type 1 / Type 2)
so any printer can select its wipe tower implementation. BBL printers
remain hardcoded to Type 1. Qidi profiles default to Type 1.
1. Dirty flags not showing for extruder options:
2. Crash when switching to non-first extruder tabs:
3. Modifying one extruder's parameter affects other extruders:
## Summary
- Change default bed temperature type from "By First filament" to "By Highest Temp"
- Move `bed_temperature_formula` option from develop mode to advanced mode for better accessibility
- Relocate UI control from "Basic Information - Advanced" to "Multimaterial Setup" section where it's more relevant for multi-filament printing
Using the highest temperature of all printed filaments is generally safer for bed adhesion than using the first filament's temperature, especially in multi-material prints where different filaments may require different bed temperatures.
