The G-code preview draws every toolpath segment as an instanced box, and its frame cost is
linear in the number of segments drawn. On a plate of large objects that is enough that
dragging the camera or a preview slider cannot keep up, and no amount of per-segment work
changes that; only drawing fewer segments does.
The objects themselves are cheaper: a mesh costs its triangles once, however many layers it
has, and the preview already loads the objects as shells for its translucent ghost. A new
preference, "Only render solid model when dragging" (off by default), draws those shells
opaque in their filament colours instead of the toolpaths while the user drags.
The visible layer range still holds. The shells are cut at the range's top and bottom through
the gouraud shader's z range, and libvgcode keeps a second index buffer holding just the
range's bottom and top layers, filled in the same walk as the full one, which is drawn
afterwards so that it caps the cut with what was really printed there. Switching between the
two sets is a buffer binding, never a rebuild. The prime tower is added to the shells from its
sliced mesh while the preference is on, positioned as the print placed it; it keeps its opaque
colour and so stays out of the translucent ghost. Supports have no mesh and are not shown.
Dragging is the camera, the navigator or either slider being held; a slider reports it from
ImGui's active id, since its dirty flag is raised and consumed inside one frame. A wheel step
holds the solid model for a 150 ms settle time, with the frame that restores the toolpaths
scheduled for when it runs out. The switch is decided at the top of the frame, before the
cached scene is consulted, and a frame that switches redraws the scene. A drag cut short by
focus or capture loss is ended explicitly, and a button release wakes the idle loop, since on
some platforms no idle event follows it until the next input.
With the preference off, nothing is built and the preview is unchanged.
get_dpi_for_window's pre-8.1 fallback and get_font_list_by_enumeration
both called GetDC without a matching ReleaseDC, leaking a GDI handle
each call. get_dpi_for_window runs on every mouse-move over the 3D
viewport, so the leak exhausts the per-process GDI handle limit and
hangs the app within minutes on Windows 7/8.

# Description
This brings back the Bambu Lab profile sync with BambuStudio, reverted
from main, along with its bed-model offset fix. The synced printers and
filaments share their start and end G-code and dual-nozzle settings
through template files that Orca did not read, so those printers had no
machine G-code. Orca now loads these templates the same way BambuStudio
does, so every synced preset comes in complete. `profile_include_dump`,
a new developer tool, compares the result with BambuStudio's.
Other vendors' profiles are unaffected. Bambu Lab profiles move to
version 02.08.00.10, so installs that took the earlier sync update too.

Unit tests cover how template settings combine with inherited and preset
settings, loaded from JSON and from the preset cache. The profile
validator passes on every shipped vendor, and every Bambu Lab preset
gets the same template values in Orca as in BambuStudio.

A scarf joint split the loop at exactly the scarf length, so the remainder
of the segment the split landed in became the first flat segment, often a
fraction of a millimetre. The seam insertion also leaves segments of a few
micrometres at both ends of the loop, which a scarf extrudes through where a
plain loop would start or stop. With junction deviation the planner treats
such short moves as tight corners, limited by the Z axis acceleration at the
end of the ramp, and slows to a third of the wall speed or nearly halts at
the seam.
Extend the ramp to the next vertex when the remainder would be shorter than
half a scarf step, capped at a millimetre, beyond which planners treat a move
as ordinary; the scarf only grows, never shrinks. Drop the vertex next to the
seam point at either end when that segment is shorter than an eighth of a
common line width, so the loop still starts and ends at the seam; a trimmed
path loses its arc fitting and prints as line segments. Clamp the scarf
length to the trimmed loop so a scarf covering a whole loop still ends at
full flow. The descending pass reuses the same path, so both wedges stay
consistent, and a flat part that would collapse to a single point is dropped.
G-code generation collects errors raised per object, such as an empty
first layer, into one SlicingErrors exception whose own message is just
"Errors". The CLI's generic handler printed that word and recorded the
generic slicing error text, so a headless caller had nothing to act on.
Let Print render the per-object messages with each object's name, and have
the CLI catch SlicingErrors ahead of the generic handler, print that text
and record it as the result's error string. The exit code is unchanged. A
unit test lifts a cube off the bed and checks the message names the object.
# Description
This PR introduces lifecycle events to the plugin API.
For all plugin capabilities, you can define a `on_lifecycle_event`
function in the plugin that takes in a event enum and a small payload
for some generic information on the lifecycle event.
The idea is to keep the payload generic and small, and if you want to
get more information, you should invoke other more targeted APIs to get
more information.
For example, lets say you are keeping track of the the `ObjectAdded*`
event hook for model transformation, addition or deletion. The payload
would tell you the name of the model, and you should use a targeted API
such as `orca.host.plater().model()` to get more information on the
model. This is the overall design principle of the API.
Currently the lifecycle events are the following:
```cpp
enum class LifecycleEvent {
// Project (3mf)
NewProject,
ProjectOpened,
ProjectBeforeSave,
ProjectAfterSave,
ProjectClosed,
ProjectDirtyChanged,
// Slicing pipeline
SliceStarted,
SliceGeometryFinished,
GCodeExportStarted,
GCodeExportFinished,
SlicingJobComplete,
// Plate/model editing
ObjectAdded,
ObjectDeleted,
ObjectTransformed,
ObjectChanged,
ObjectRenamed,
PlateCreated,
PlateDeleted,
PlateSelected,
PlateRenamed,
// Preset
PresetSelected,
PresetSaved,
// Printer/device
PrintStateChanged,
DeviceOnlineChanged,
DeviceDiscovered,
DeviceSelected,
DeviceConnected,
DeviceDisconnected,
UploadStarted,
UploadFinished,
// Print/send jobs
PrintJobStarted,
PrintJobFinished,
SendJobStarted,
SendJobFinished,
};
```
This is an initial draft and lifecycle events can be included later on.

The CLI turned "align to Y axis" on for every i3 printer with no way to opt
out. With rotations forbidden the pre-rotation is the result, so every object
ends up turned 90 degrees from how it was loaded. The GUI defaults the
checkbox the same way for i3 printers, but lets the user untick it.
Add --align-to-y-axis. When it is not given the printer-structure rule still
applies, so existing calls are unchanged; the CLI's own options are filled
with defaults after parsing, so the keys the user typed are remembered to
tell the two apart.

# Description
A plate using one filament no longer reserves or draws a prime tower in
the plater just because multiple filament slots are configured. The
shared footprint estimate gated "no tower" on the purge volume being
zero, but on non-Bambu printers with the shipped defaults that volume
comes from the SEMM flush matrix, which reads every configured slot and
stays nonzero even when only one filament is used — so the preview
showed a tower the print could never contain. The estimate now decides
from the filament count alone, with wrapping detection and smooth
timelapse staying the only reasons a single-filament plate keeps a
tower, matching `Print::has_wipe_tower()`. The gate also moved above the
flush-volume scan so the lone-filament path no longer pays for it.
No change to slicing output — toolpath generation already omitted the
tower for a single used filament; this removes the phantom preview,
placement reservation, and validation footprint.

The no-tower case was gated on there being no purge volume, but the SEMM flush matrix reads every configured slot and is nonzero even when only one filament is used, so the plater preview drew a tower the print would never contain.
libslic3r_version.h defines ORCA_CHECK_GCODE_PLACEHOLDERS from the CMake
option, 0 by default, and GCode.hpp then forces it to 1 whenever NDEBUG
is undefined. Clang reports the second definition under
-Wmacro-redefined, which is on by default, so since -Werror (#15660)
every clang Debug build fails at the libslic3r files that include
GCode.hpp. Release and RelWithDebInfo define NDEBUG and never compile
the override, which is why no CI configuration sees it. The override
dates from #3861 and has warned in every Debug build since.
Undefine the macro before overriding it. Debug builds get the same
value the redefinition already produced, so nothing else changes.
Follow-up to #15749, refs #15748.
* CLI: --inspect-paint — dump per-facet paint state as JSON
Reads the per-facet enforcer/blocker/extruder/fuzzy-skin state stored
on every ModelVolume (supported_facets / seam_facets /
mmu_segmentation_facets / fuzzy_skin_facets) and emits a structured
JSON summary to stdout. Machine-readable alternative to opening the
paint gizmos.
Per (object, volume, layer, state): facet count, surface area in
mm², and mesh-local bounding box. Empty layers collapse to
{"empty": true}. Summary at the top level rolls up totals.
One correctness detail worth calling out: FacetsAnnotation::
get_facets_strict returns an indexed_triangle_set whose `vertices`
array is the whole source mesh — only `indices` are filtered to the
painted triangles. A naive bounding_box(its) would report the whole
mesh's bbox even when only a few facets are painted. The helper
its_referenced_bbox() walks only the vertices actually indexed by
the painted triangles, so `bbox` correctly localizes the painted
region.
Rationale: every paint-driven workflow — GUI-painted .3mf verified
in CI, AI agents planning support enforcers, MMU color layout checks
— needs to know what's already painted on a model. Today that's a
GUI-only read. --inspect-paint closes that loop for scripted callers.
New file src/slic3r/Utils/PaintCLI.{hpp,cpp} (~215 lines). Depends
only on Model, TriangleMesh, TriangleSelector, FacetsAnnotation, and
nlohmann::json — all already in tree. No new dependencies, no
signature changes, no behavior change when the flag is absent.
Registered as an action (parallel to --info) so it satisfies the
"needs an action" check and bypasses the GUI fallback; control falls
through the normal post-action path to a clean exit 0.
Verification:
unpainted STL: every layer {"empty": true}, summary zero
GUI-painted .3mf: enforcer count / area / bbox match painter
clean JSON: parseable via jq
* CLI --inspect-paint: exit after printing, reject conflicting actions
- Finish like the end of CLI::run once the JSON is written, as the
tooltip says. The callback manager is Linux-only, so its use is
guarded.
- Reject actions that would otherwise be skipped without notice
(--slice, --export-3mf, ...) before loading. Load-time options such as
--uptodate are still accepted.
- Replace invalid UTF-8 in object names and paths instead of throwing.
- Report every input file as sources; inputs are merged into one model
before actions run.
* CLI --inspect-paint: reject a run without input
Without an input file or --load-assemble-list there is nothing to
inspect, and the run printed nothing and exited 0. Reject it up front
with CLI_INVALID_PARAMS, next to the other invalid-parameter checks.
* Toolchange Cyclic Order
* Apply cyclic order to first layer

* Run every profile maintenance job from one tool
orca_id_tool.py becomes orca_profile_tool.py, and orca_extra_profile_check.py
and orca_filament_lib.py fold into it as subcommands: check, generate-id, fix,
trim, update-index and update-snapshot. The three scripts already overlapped --
the checker imported half of its rules from the id tool, which in turn kept a
copy-pasted set of output helpers to avoid the resulting import cycle -- while
disagreeing on how a vendor is enumerated, how a JSON file is read and what the
exit code means. One file settles all three.
check, normalize, trim and update-index reproduce their predecessors exactly; normalize and
update-index were diffed byte-for-byte against the old scripts over a copy of
the whole tree. Deliberate changes: the compatible-printers check no longer
switches itself off when --check-materials is passed, an error exits 1 rather
than -1, update-index honours --profile-type and reports a profile it cannot
place instead of dropping it from the index, fix and update-index gained
--dry-run, trim keeps an unindexed file some surviving profile still inherits
from, and vendors are enumerated as directories with an index -- which is why
blacklist.json, a data file that an unscoped index rebuild once wrote four empty
list sections into, loses them here and will not collect them again. The dead
rename_filament_system() helper is gone.
The suite under scripts/tests now covers the maintenance commands too, and CI
runs it; nothing there ran in CI before. No shipped profile data changes apart
from those four keys.
* update vendor index files with "python3 ./scripts/orca_profile_tool.py update-index" and "python3 ./scripts/orca_profile_tool.py normalize"
* CLI: --ground-face-* / --lay-flat / --center-on-bed orientation primitives
Adds the CLI counterparts to the GUI's lay-flat / face-pick gizmos.
Scripted / CI / AI pipelines can now set orientation without rendering
a wxWidgets frame; today the only way is a GUI round-trip.
New CLI actions (all operate in the mesh-local frame so they compose
with prior --rotate-* / --orient flags):
--ground-largest-face 1 Auto-detect the largest planar-face
or --lay-flat 1 cluster (area-weighted), rotate so its
normal points -Z. Covers "this part has
one obvious flat side" cases.
--ground-face-normal NX,NY,NZ Pick the face whose mesh-local
normal best matches the given
vector; ground it. e.g.
`--ground-face-normal 1,0,0`
stands a part on its +X side.
--ground-face-point X,Y,Z Find the triangle containing the
given mesh-local point; ground its
face. Disambiguates when several
faces share a normal (largest
containing triangle wins).
--center-on-bed 1 Translate so the XY bounding-box
centroid lands at the bed center
(derived from printable_area).
New file `src/slic3r/Utils/MeshOrient.{hpp,cpp}`:
- collect_triangles_object / compute_face_clusters — quantize
per-triangle normals (0.001, ~0.06°) and area-weighted-average
within clusters. Same clustering logic used by lay-flat.
- apply_ground_rotation — same math as Selection::flattening_rotate
in the GUI (Selection.cpp:1432): world-space quaternion from the
transformed normal to -Z, applied as offset * new_rot * old_no_offset
on every instance of every object, then a per-instance Z-lift so the
grounded face lands at exactly 0 (avoids "No layers were detected"
from FP-error z≈-1e-9).
- ground_face_point uses a top-N cluster search + point-in-triangle
test in local space; largest-area triangle wins on ambiguity.
Rationale: without these, any CLI pipeline that needs a specific
face on the bed must either encode custom rotation math per part or
break out of the pipeline into the GUI. Both are bad for
reproducibility. The --ground-face-* triple + the largest-face
auto-mode cover essentially every orientation intent expressible
in a slicing wizard.
Scope:
- `src/slic3r/Utils/MeshOrient.{hpp,cpp}` — new, ~420 lines
- `src/slic3r/CMakeLists.txt` — 2-line registration
- `src/libslic3r/PrintConfig.cpp` — 5 new CLIMiscConfigDef entries
- `src/OrcaSlicer.cpp` — 58-line handler block + 1 include
No behaviour change when the flags are absent.
(cherry picked from commit c45a9795e1)
* CLI grounding: choose among the Lay on Face planes, per object
Addresses review:
- Move the geometry of GLGizmoFlatten::update_planes() into
libslic3r/LayOnFace and use it from the gizmo and the CLI, so the
--ground-* options pick convex-hull faces per object and instance,
with part transformations (--rotate-x/y) applied.
- Drop --center-on-bed, the --lay-flat alias and MeshOrient; make
--ground-largest-face a coBool.
- Parse --ground-face-normal and --ground-face-point strictly. A point
that only some objects contain grounds those and leaves the others.
- Fold in --inspect-mesh from #14603, reporting the same planes.
- Tests in tests/libslic3r/test_lay_on_face.cpp: bounding boxes before
and after, rotate then ground, two objects, and a ribbed part whose
parallel inner faces outsum its base.
* CLI --inspect-mesh, --ground-face-*: reject missing input and empty values
- Without an input file or --load-assemble-list, --inspect-mesh printed
nothing and exited 0. Reject it up front with CLI_INVALID_PARAMS.
- An explicit empty --ground-face-normal or --ground-face-point was
silently ignored. Only options given on the command line reach the
transforms loop, so an empty value now fails the strict parse like any
other malformed value.
# Description
Add `--strict` for CI and scripted pipelines, and a structured
`warnings`
array in `result.json`.
## `--strict`
A NON_CRITICAL slicing warning is logged and the slice succeeds: return
code
`0`, G-code written. That suits interactive use, but a pipeline then
ships a
slice with a warning nobody saw. With `--strict`, such a warning fails
the run
with `CLI_SLICING_ERROR` before the G-code is exported. Without the
flag,
nothing changes.
In FFF the warning that reaches this path is "support needed but
disabled"
(`PrintObject::generate_support_material`). `--no-check` skips that
check, so
`--strict --no-check` is rejected with `CLI_INVALID_PARAMS`.
`--strict` is read before any work, so it doesn't depend on argument
order and
`result.json` reports it for early failures as well.
## `result.json`
Two new top-level fields:
- `warnings`: `[{"class", ...details}]`. One class is wired:
`slicing_warning_non_critical` with `plate_id` and `text`, recorded
whenever
such a warning fires, with or without `--strict`. The array also fills
on
runs that succeed, so `return_code` stays the verdict.
- `strict_mode`: whether `--strict` was on.
`record_exit_reson` writes `result.json` on Linux only, so both fields
exist
only there. The non-zero exit works on every platform.
## Tests
- `tests/fff_print/test_support_material.cpp` (all platforms): an
overhang
sliced with support off raises the NON_CRITICAL support-needed status,
and
the no-check flag suppresses it.
- `tests/cli/test_cli_strict.sh` (Linux only): runs `orca-slicer`
without
flags, with `--strict`, and with `--strict --no-check`, and checks the
shell
status and `result.json` of each. It runs the built binary, so it
carries the
`RequiresApp` label, which `scripts/run_unit_tests.sh` excludes because
the
unit-test job only receives `build/tests`. Run it with
`ctest --test-dir build/tests -C Release -L RequiresApp`.
- CI: `unit_tests.yml` now passes `Release` on Linux too.
`build_linux.sh`
configures Ninja Multi-Config, and without a config ctest drops the
labels of
plain `add_test()` tests, so this test ran as "Not Run" instead of being
excluded. The docs that assumed Linux was single-config are corrected
too.
Built and run locally on Linux (GCC 14) on current `main`: both tests
pass,
and the touched files compile clean under Clang with `-Werror`.
