A belt printer slices in a rotated frame, so the belt surface is a tilted
plane rather than the Z=0 bed plane. Each slicing layer touches the belt
only along a narrow strip at its leading edge - about 0.2mm at 45 degrees -
so a part's first layer is really a first line, with almost no contact patch
to hold it down while the belt drags it forward. Brim was hard-disabled on
belt printers, leaving no remedy at all.
Generate the brim on the belt plane instead. The object's belt footprint is
the union over layers of each slice clipped to that layer's contact band; the
brim is offset from it in a "flattened" frame where the shear axis is
stretched by 1/cos(tilt), so ordinary Clipper offsets measure true on-belt
distance. It is emitted as cross-belt lines, one per layer band, anchored to
a fixed fraction of the band so every line shares a nozzle-to-belt clearance
and therefore comes out the same width; flow is matched to the resulting band
pitch, keeping the sheet uniform and gap-free.
Three new controls, all belt-only:
* Leading brim length - extends the brim ahead of the part along the belt,
on every downhill-facing edge of its contact area. This apron necessarily
prints BELOW the object's first layer, since layer 0 is the part's leading
contact, so it needs brim-only bands of its own.
* Extra brim width - widens the brim sideways across the belt only.
* Brim type "Leading edge only" - brim at the part's first belt contact and
nothing after it. Appended last in BrimType so no existing value shifts;
degrades to an outer brim off belt printers, with a warning.
The apron bands are lightweight records rather than a Layer subclass, so no
fabricated Layer::id() can leak into initial-layer temperature selection, the
spiral vase probe, cooling or gradual interpolation. They are generated in
posSupportMaterial because their print_z values must exist before ToolOrdering
is built at psWipeTower, and they are emitted from a short dedicated branch in
process_layer that runs before any layer pointer is dereferenced.
The footprint is closed before offsetting outwards: a belt contact patch is
often a broken-up strip, and the merged offset rings of two islands closer
than 2 x brim_width would otherwise fill the space between them - space that
lies under the part.
Also fixes a pre-existing bug where PrintObject::get_first_layer_bbox()
overwrote a valid bbox with an unassigned one on any belt printer with a brim
configured, because has_brim() was true while make_brim() returned early.
Belt brim is refused alongside the prime tower and spiral vase, and requires
one instance per PrintObject - translating an instance along the belt axis
changes its physical belt-floor Z. Untilted belt printers are unchanged: they
still get no brim, since the plate brim is emitted out of skirt_brim_groups(),
which _make_skirt() never builds for a belt printer.

Adds **Wait for temperature on wipe tower**, a printer option for
multi-extruder
machines using a Type 2 wipe tower. With it on, the new tool is picked
up without a
blocking temperature wait; the printer travels to the wipe tower and
waits there
right before purging, parked beside the tower so the ooze from the
heat-up lands
next to it rather than on the model. The incoming filament's target is
raised ahead
of the tool change, so the heat-up overlaps both the change itself and
the travel to
the tower.
The benefit is less oozing and less dead time. The tool no longer sits
at full print
temperature while it waits to be picked up or right after it undocks —
it heats on
the move and only reaches temperature once it is over the tower, so
there is far less
hot-and-idle time, and what does ooze ends up beside the tower. This
matters most on
tool changer printers with long docking and attaching cycles, such as
Tapchanger and
StealthChanger machines, where that wait is otherwise pure stall time
spent dripping.
The firmware or tool change macro must not wait for the temperature
itself. The
option is off by default and only shown for multi-extruder printers on a
Type 2 wipe
tower, and it is enabled by default for the generic toolchanger profile.

New Catch2 cases in `tests/fff_print/test_multifilament.cpp`: the wait
moves to the
tower when enabled, priming pre-heats to the first layer temperature,
the park side
is regenerated when the tower is moved or rotated, and a regression test
pinning the
unchanged (option-off) toolchange temperature commands against a
recorded trace
(`tests/data/wipe_tower_temperature_trace_main.txt`).

# Description
On Klipper the wipe tower's motion-queue synchronization silently did
nothing. Klipper acts on commands the moment it parses them, and its
`G4` reads only `P` in milliseconds — it ignores `S` — so the `G4 S0`
the tower used to flush the queue before a temperature change never
synchronized anything, and the cooling delay after a filament's cooling
moves passed instantly instead of waiting. The tower now emits `M400`
for the flush and `G4 P<ms>` for the dwell when the flavor is Klipper.
Only `gcode_flavor = klipper` is affected; G-code for every other flavor
is byte-identical, so no shipped profile or existing project file
changes.

The wipe tower's "Delay after unloading" never happened on Klipper. It was
emitted as G4 S<seconds>, and Klipper's G4 reads only the P parameter, in
milliseconds, so the pause was silently skipped. The option now produces a
dwell Klipper actually performs.
Also corrects the planner flush rationale, which cited an extruder position
reset that Klipper resolves at parse time and does not need synchronized, and
adds end-to-end coverage that slices a two-filament print and checks the
emitted wipe tower G-code on both a Klipper and a non-Klipper flavor.
No change to any other firmware flavor's output, and no shipped profile sets a
non-zero delay, so no shipped profile's output moves either.
The wipe tower emitted G4 S0 to make the firmware finish its queued moves
before commands that must not take effect early. Klipper's G4 reads only the
P parameter, so that flush never happened there and a temperature change could
land seconds ahead of the moves it was meant to follow. Klipper now gets M400
instead, through one helper shared by both wipe tower implementations.
No change to any other firmware flavor's output, so no shipped profile or saved
project is affected.
The belt-printer branch is failing two profile gates. Both stem from the
three belt-only vendors (Custom's generic belt printer, IdeaFormer,
Printcepts) not existing upstream, so upstream maintenance passed them
by.
Slice check: 4 of 1015 printers failed - Custom's MyBeltPrinter 0.2/0.4/
0.6/0.8 nozzle all fell back to "Default Setting". No process profile in
the Custom vendor listed any MyBeltPrinter in compatible_printers, and
Custom's fdm_belt_common pointed default_print_profile at "0.20mm
Standard @System", which does not exist in that vendor's index, so the
generic belt printer had no usable process at all. This gap dates to
when MyBeltPrinter was added (2026-04-07); it only started failing now
because the slice-check job is newer than that.
Adds two process profiles modelled on the sibling @MyKlipper ones:
- 0.20mm Standard @MyBeltPrinter - 0.4/0.6/0.8 nozzles
- 0.12mm Fine @MyBeltPrinter - 0.2/0.4 nozzles
The split is forced by hardware: the 0.2 nozzle preset caps
max_layer_height at 0.16, so a single 0.20mm profile cannot legally
cover
it. fdm_belt_common now defaults to the standard profile and the 0.2
nozzle preset overrides to the fine one.
setting_id: 14 files failed the rules introduced in #14432. That
migration renumbered 7425 files across 61 vendors but skipped these
three, leaving BabyBelt Pro, IdeaFormer IR3 V2 and MyBeltPrinter
squatting the "G*" id space reserved for Bambu (GMPC0BBP01, GMIF001,
GM_BELT_00x) and four instantiated filament/process presets carrying no
setting_id at all. Regenerated with
scripts/assign_vendor_setting_ids.py.
Also repoints the identical dangling "0.20mm Standard @System" in
Printcepts' and IdeaFormer's fdm_belt_common at their own real process
profiles. That is a no-op today because both concrete printers override
it, but it is the same landmine that took out MyBeltPrinter.
Vendor index versions bumped so check_installed_vendor_profiles() will
re-install the corrected profiles over an existing install.
Note: changing a shipped preset's setting_id can orphan user presets
that reference it as base_id. #14432 accepted that tradeoff for 61
vendors; this keeps these three consistent with the rest.
Verified: orca_extra_profile_check.py reports 0 errors across 66 vendors
(was 14 files with errors), and OrcaSlicer_profile_validator -s slices
all 1015 printer presets successfully (was 4 failures).

The linear approximation used a heuristic segment count clamped to 4..16, so the
lift ran as a coarse polygon. Every vertex is a direction change large enough to
hit the firmware's jerk limit, forcing a decelerate/accelerate at each corner —
the lift micro-stutters instead of running at speed. The segment count now comes
from the chord deviation against the slicing resolution, reusing
Geometry::ArcWelder::arc_discretization_steps, which keeps the turn at each
vertex shallow enough for the firmware to carry speed through the whole move.
Points are emitted through GCodeG1Formatter so they carry the same quantization
as the rest of the G-code, and the move comment now trails the feedrate line to
match _travel_to_z and the G2/G3 branch. No change when arc fitting is enabled.
* fix: make the error dialog caret point at the character it's blaming
Custom G-code parse errors print the offending line with a '^' under the
character that broke, positioned with spaces so it only lines up in a
fixed-width font. Since v2.3.2 these dialogs rendered entirely in the
proportional UI font, so the caret drifted left of its column and landed
on unrelated text.
Render only the code excerpts (the offending source line and its caret) in
the fixed-width face, leaving the surrounding prose in the UI font, and
reserve the horizontal scrollbar's height so a long line does not clip.
Rename the flag to has_code_excerpts to match what it now means.
Fixes#14869
* refactor(GUI): use <code> instead of <tt> for error excerpts
wxHTML maps <tt>, <code>, <kbd> and <samp> to the same fixed-width
handler, so this renders identically. <code> is the non-deprecated
tag and matches what the original code used.
* fix(GUI): align the error caret with real spaces, not
The caret line was padded with so its spaces would survive inline
HTML. wxHTML measures every glyph by its font extent, so where the fixed
font lacks a U+00A0 glyph the fallback renders it about twice as wide, and
the all- caret line outran the source, drifting the ^ to the right.
Wrap the excerpts in a small <excerpt> tag, registered on the dialog's own
parser, that switches on wxHTML literal-whitespace mode so the caret uses
real spaces that match the source column in any font. It sits inside <code>
for the fixed face; <pre> would do both but forces a blank line above it.

M620 is Bambu firmware dialect, not a
neutral command. Composing it in
MachineObject let non-Bambu agents
(Moonraker/Klipper) forward it and
report success on firmware that
cannot run it.
Agents now own the dialect: the
default refusal on IPrinterAgent
returns not-supported so the UI
can say so; BBLPrinterAgent keeps
the byte-identical composition.
Replace per-printer auto-activation
(is_current_printer_agent_plugin)
with a global experimental AppConfig
toggle, default off: legacy
print-host behavior is unchanged
until the user opts in. The toggle
drives device-tab routing, print
button defaults, connect-button
visibility and sidebar layout, and
dedups machine-select dialog opens.
set_live_printer_agent centralizes
the swap: deselect the machine,
clear stale sidebar state and the
previous agent's Other Devices, then
install the new agent (or null when
its provider vanished). Plugin
load/unload callbacks refresh the
dropdown and re-run agent selection.
load_last_machine no longer falls
back to the first available machine.
A dedicated PrinterAgentChoice field
reads rows straight from the live
agent registry and stores the agent
id string, replacing the fake-coEnum
index mapping. The field moves to
TabPrinter and registers with the
searcher so UnsavedChanges renders
it; the PhysicalPrinterDialog copy
and its update hook are removed
(#125). switch_printer_agent now
resolves ids via
resolve_printer_agent_id.
