The Cartesian designed-view preview over-extended the toolpaths past the model
shell by a height-proportional amount (up to ~20mm tall parts), most visibly on
long multi-part prints; compact parts like a calibration cube looked fine.
Two coupled causes:
- Belt start G-code that primes with a Z advance and a 'G92 Z0' reset leaves a
constant machine-Z origin in the GCodeProcessor, so move positions are stored as
gcode_Z + origin. The linear back-transform mixes that constant with the
gantry-Y term, leaving a per-move designed-Y error that min-corner anchoring
cannot cancel when an elevated move (e.g. a bridge) happens to cancel it at the
bbox minimum. Expose GCodeProcessorResult::belt_z_origin (the m_origin[Z] left by
the start G-code) and subtract it before the back-transform.
- Elevated features (bridges/overhangs) are mis-mapped by the linear inverse to
outside the model body; build the anchor bbox only from moves within model_bb +/-
10mm, with a fallback to the full bbox when the clip would drop the bulk (object
placed away from the belt entry) so the gross-offset case still anchors.
Preview-only; G-code output is unchanged.
The belt designed (upright) preview back-transforms the machine-frame G-code
into model space with the linear belt inverse. That inverse recovers the
print's shape and orientation, but not the per-object placement/lift
translation: the object's position on the belt, the BeltSliceStrategy min-Z
lift, and the centering pre-translate are applied OUTSIDE
build_forward_transform() (see PrintObjectSlice.cpp), so its linear inverse
cannot undo them. The result was a constant offset (~20 mm on the belt-advance
axis) of the toolpaths from the model shell, on every model.
Recover the missing translation generally — independent of the offset's exact
source or the axis remap — by anchoring the back-transformed object body
(extrusions on layer_id >= 1, i.e. excluding the layer-0 prime/skirt) onto the
upright model bounding box, the same space the shells render in, and folding
that translation into the belt inverse before converting to libvgcode.
Replaces the previous Y=0 anchoring in LibVGCodeWrapper, which pinned the
toolpaths to the belt entry rather than to the model and so left the offset in
place for any object not sitting at the origin.
On a belt printer the emitted G-code is in the machine frame (45-deg sheared,
axis-remapped, scaled), so the toolpath preview shows the print as a sheared
slab floating off the bed. Map each toolpath vertex back to model/Cartesian
space for the "designed" view.
The back-transform is the inverse of the full G-code forward pipeline
(BeltGCodeWriter::to_machine_coords):
model = [BeltForward^-1 if !gcode_back_transform] . AxisRemap^-1 . MachineFrame^-1
built from config, so it handles any rotation / shear / scale / axis-remap
combination, not just plain 45-deg belt slicing. Computed in load_as_gcode()
from print.config() and applied per-vertex inside libvgcode::convert (display
position only; layer_id, times and the volumetric/flow math keep the raw
machine values, so the layer slider and stats are unaffected).
- Toggle with the existing "Show designed view" checkbox / hotkey B; off shows
the raw machine-frame G-code (useful for debugging the transform itself).
Defaults to on.
- Belt printers skip the same-result-id load cache so the upright view applies
and the toggle takes effect even when the G-code is unchanged.
- The object extrusions (layer_id >= 1) are anchored to the belt entry to drop
the constant machine-origin offset (start-G-code belt advance) that the linear
back-transform alone does not capture; start-G-code prime lines are excluded
so they don't steal the anchor.
Several Artillery and Flashforge machine profiles set the first-layer nozzle temperature with M104 (set, no wait) immediately before the purge/prime line. The purge then runs before the nozzle reaches temperature, so filament is extruded through a nozzle that is not yet hot enough to melt it. Changed M104 to M109 so the printer waits for the target temperature before purging.
Affected profiles:
- Artillery Sidewinder X3 Plus / X3 Pro / X4 Plus / X4 Pro (0.4 nozzle)
- Flashforge AD5X (0.25/0.4/0.6/0.8)
- Flashforge Adventurer 5M / 5M Pro (0.25/0.8 overrides + shared fdm_adventurer5m_common, which also covers the 0.4/0.6 variants via inheritance)

Build the Linux AppImage for ARM64 (aarch64) alongside x86_64: the Linux CI
job now matrixes over both architectures, with arch-aware deps caching and
artifact/asset names (amd64 keeps its existing names). The aarch64 AppImage is
published to the nightly and release pages like the x86_64 one.
Run the unit-test suite on the aarch64 runner (faster GitHub arm runner); the
tests are built on that leg. Self-hosted keeps tests on the amd64 server.
* fix(libnest2d): skip the excluded-region alignment pass when there are none
NfpPlacer::finalAlign(), run from clearItems() and the destructor, always
ran the "find a best position inside the NFP of fixed items" pass even when
no items are fixed. With nothing to avoid, calcnfp() computes the inner-fit
NFP of the pile and can feed clipper a coordinate outside its allowed range.
On Linux/clang the value stays in range so it went unnoticed; on MSVC the
clipper "Coordinate outside allowed range" exception escapes the noexcept
destructor and aborts the process (exit 0xC0000409).
Build the excluded set up front and only run the pass when it is non-empty.
The block exists solely to keep the pile clear of fixed items (excluded
regions / wipe tower), so it is a no-op when there are none and the
wipe-tower behaviour is unchanged.
* test(libnest2d): remove dead nesting tests and split the suite by feature
Seven of the suite's hidden [.] test cases drove code paths Orca abandoned
at the BambuStudio fork: BottomLeftPlacer (used nowhere in src/) and the
stock default NfpPlacer backend, which returns zero bins in Orca. They have
been red since the fork and are never registered with ctest. Remove them.
Split the 1,000-line libnest2d_tests_main.cpp into per-feature files, per the
repo convention, sharing a header for the no-fit-polygon backend setup that
every translation unit must agree on (ODR):
libnest2d_tests.cpp Item and nest() basics
test_geometry.cpp geometry primitives
test_nfp.cpp no-fit-polygon machinery
libnest2d_test_utils.hpp shared includes and the NFP backend specialisation
Along the way: drop a debug exportSVG() helper that only wrote a file on test
failure (so the suite never leaves stray assets), convert the deprecated
Catch::Approx to WithinRel/WithinAbs matchers, and give the tests descriptive
names.
* test(libnest2d): add NfpPlacer unit tests
NfpPlacer is the placement engine the arranger drives, but the suite only
covered the geometry primitives. Add a fixture and five tests that exercise
pack()/accept() directly: a single item lands in the bin, an oversized item
is rejected, the first item is seeded for every starting point, many items
pack without overlap, and the rotation candidates are searched. This lifts
nfpplacer.hpp line coverage from 42% to 87% in the libnest2d suite.
* test(libslic3r): add arrangement::arrange() integration coverage
The libnest2d suite cannot reach Orca's real nesting entry point because it
does not link libslic3r. Add test_arrange.cpp driving arrangement::arrange():
items land on the bed and within bounds, do not overlap, are spaced by their
inflation, an oversized item stays unplaced, overflow spills onto virtual beds,
an empty input is a no-op, and the DONT_ALIGN and USER_DEFINED final-alignment
paths are exercised. A self-test guards the overlap check the other cases use.
* APA for overhangs - Prusa incompatibility warning
Added a sentence explicitly stating that APA for overhangs is not compatible with prusa printers
* whitespace
Clarify that "network plugin" now means *bambu* only and doesn't refer to orca cloud
fully differentiate the two offerings to avoid confusion especially for non Bambu users
Physical max-volumetric-speed test (belt #62 v4 asset) on the IR3 V2 with eSUN
PLA white: the wall stayed clean up to ~100 mm/s = ~20 mm3/s before
under-extrusion. The shipped cap of 10 mm3/s was ~half the real ceiling and
was silently throttling infill.
- eSUN PLA @IdeaFormer IR3 V2: filament_max_volumetric_speed 10 -> 20
- 0.20mm Standard @IdeaFormer IR3 V2: sparse_infill_speed 200 (~18 mm3/s at the
new cap, no longer throttled). Outer wall (45), PA (0.12), accel (1000)
unchanged — accuracy preserved.
- IdeaFormer.json version bump for profile-cache refresh.

* Store user session information along with refresh token, to allow offline use once user is logged in
* Don't bother with avatar because we won't see it when offline anyway
* Fix offline Sync Presets freezing the UI on repeat clicks
Ignore restart_sync_user_preset() while a manual sync's progress dialog is on screen, so a second app-modal dialog can't stack on the first. Offline the dialog blocks on a long, uncancellable HTTP timeout; on macOS the global menu stays live while the window is disabled, so a second click otherwise wedges the app (force-quit only).
* Skip redundant user-secret re-write on startup
set_user_session() always re-encrypts and writes the secret to disk; on the startup restore path that just rewrites the bytes it was loaded from. Add a persist flag so the restore path skips it. Also drop an unused catch binding and a stray blank line.

perf(GCodeProcessor): stop recompiling std::regex on every g-code line
process_SET_VELOCITY_LIMIT() constructed three std::regex objects from
scratch on every call, and Klipper-flavor g-code contains
SET_VELOCITY_LIMIT on a large share of lines (8,834 of 103,549 lines for
a single 3DBenchy sliced for a Creality K2). perf attributes 6.4% of the
whole slicing run to this one function, almost all of it regex
compilation and the allocator traffic it generates.
process_SET_PRESSURE_ADVANCE() and the External_Purge_Tag handler had
the same per-call construction.
Hoist all five patterns to function-local static const std::regex so
they compile once. Generated g-code is byte-identical (modulo the
timestamp header); slicing a 16x Benchy plate for a K2 drops from
78.5s to 27.3s wall (2.9x) on a 16-core Linux box, single Benchy from
8.9s to 5.6s.

The testing guide stated OrcaSlicer uses Catch2 v2 and advised the v2
`<catch2/catch.hpp>` include, but the vendored framework is v3.11.0
(tests/catch2/) and every test file includes `<catch2/catch_all.hpp>`.
The wrong version drove several incorrect claims: that SKIP() is
unavailable (it is, v3.3.0+), that the string matcher is "Contains"
rather than "ContainsSubstring", and that thread-safe assertions,
multiple reporters, STATIC_CHECK and built-in sharding do not exist.
Correct all version statements, the example include, and the
former "Version-Specific Limitations" section to reflect v3.11.0.
fix: apply smart preview defaults per extruder count session
- Track last extruder count (1=single, 2+=multi) instead of boolean flag
- Apply appropriate default (ColorPrint/FeatureType) when count changes
- User selections persist within same extruder count
- Symmetric behavior: both single and multi actively apply defaults
- Delete duplicate dead code block (uncommented TODO scaffolding)
Behavior:
- First slice (any type) → appropriate default
- User changes view → persists on re-slice
- Switch single→single or multi→multi → persists
- Switch single↔multi → appropriate default applies
