Non-belt branch of set_bed_shape reset only the 3DBed renderer, not the
BuildVolume; Bed3D::set_shape early-returns on unchanged bed, so a
belt->normal switch or in-place belt toggle-off left the BuildVolume with
m_is_belt_printer=true and inflated Y bounds -> out-of-bounds objects
treated as printable on a normal printer.
# Description
This adds brim support to belt printers.
Added a new belt printer specific mode, Leading Edge Only and two new
belt-specific parameters, Leading Edge Brim Length, which increases the
number of brim lines on the side of the part printed first, and Extra
Brim Width, which increases the width of brims along the X axis. Because
belt printer first layers are effectively a single line, getting them to
stick properly can be a pain. This PR aims to help alleviate that, or at
least give more options for control.

The prime tower reserved its footprint from the prime volume alone,
ignoring the flush volumes it actually has to hold, so on a multi-colour
print the tower shown in Prepare and the space kept clear for it during
arrange could be far smaller than the tower that gets sliced — leaving
it overlapping objects or running off the plate. This sizes the estimate
from the configured flush volumes instead, for rib walls as well as
rectangle and cone, applies the same height-based minimum depth the
prime-volume estimate already used, and reads the flush matrix correctly
on multi-nozzle printers, where it holds one block per nozzle.
Only the pre-slice estimate changes: the generated tower is untouched,
and prints that do not purge into the prime tower keep their existing
size.

Prime towers reserved depth from the prime volume alone, ignoring the flush
matrix: rib-wall towers in both the engine and the preview, and rectangle and
cone towers in the preview, which never carried the flush-aware estimate the
engine already used. The preview also read the print preset, which does not
carry the printer- and filament-scope keys the estimate needs and so silently
fell back to defaults. On multi-nozzle printers the flush matrix, which holds
one block per nozzle, was additionally read as a single block. The tower could
come out too small for the purge it has to hold.
The flush-based estimate also skipped the height-based minimum depth that the
prime-volume one applies, so low-flush prints could estimate a tower shallower
than the one that actually gets built.
"Leading edge only" describes where a part meets a moving belt, so it has no
meaning on a fixed bed and should not clutter the Brim type dropdown there.
Filtered the same way support_style and wipe_tower_wall_type already are a few
lines above in TabPrint::toggle_options(): the field holds its own copy of the
option definition, and Choice maps the combobox selection straight onto that
copy's enum_values, so rewriting the values, the labels and the combobox items
together keeps the mapping correct.
The entry is kept when it is the current value, so opening a project that uses
it on a non-belt printer cannot leave the control displaying an option it does
not offer - which would silently rewrite the setting on the next edit.
Print::validate() already warns that it prints as an ordinary outer brim there.
Matches the scope of the existing precedents: the per-object override panel is
not filtered.

On delta, circular and custom bed shapes — and on multi-nozzle printers
where each carriage only reaches part of the plate — the prime tower was
positioned and clamped against the bed's bounding box, so it could be
parked in a corner the bed does not actually have. Neither the default
placement nor dragging the tower would pull it back onto the bed, and
slicing went ahead without complaint. The tower's default position, its
drag clamp and the slice-time validation now all follow the real
printable outline, and a tower that genuinely does not fit is reported
as "Prime Tower is partially outside the printable area" instead of
being sliced into a print that cannot be produced.
The travel that approaches the tower is planned against that same
outline. Previously the router gave up whenever its clearance box fell
outside the bed and drove the nozzle straight across the tower; a tower
parked near the bed edge now keeps its detour and enters through the
wall opening as intended.
This also corrects the footprint the prime tower validation uses for a
rotated tower, which was being rotated by the wrong amount and about the
wrong point, so proximity warnings and exclusion-area errors for rotated
towers were being computed against the wrong shape.
Prime tower placement on rectangular beds is unchanged. The new
printable-area validation and the tower-approach routing fix apply to
every bed shape.

Added unit coverage for the placement clamp against a non-rectangular
outline (a regular hexagon standing in for the shipped delta beds),
covering the rectangular-bed path, single-axis clamping while dragging,
a footprint already inside the outline, one sitting in the bounding-box
corner but off the bed, an unresolved auto brim width arriving as a
negative margin, and a footprint too large for the bed. The `fff_print`
suite passes.

The placement clamps and the tower-approach router both stood in the bed's
bounding box for the bed itself, so on a delta or hexagonal bed the prime tower
could be parked in a corner that does not exist and the nozzle could be routed
across it. Both now test the real printable outline, slicing reports a tower
that does not fit instead of printing it off the bed, and a tower parked near an
edge is routed along the clamped side rather than falling back to a straight
line across the tower.
Also fixes the placement validation rotating the tower hull by degrees read as
radians about the plate origin, and never rotating the generated tower footprint
at all.
Six issues found by reviewing the previous commit against belt-printer, two of
them release-blocking.
Data race (high). Print::process() runs generate_support_material() for all
objects in a tbb::parallel_for, and make_belt_brim() runs at its tail, but
belt_brim_obstacles() read every OTHER object's support_layers() - which a
concurrent task may be inside clear_support_layers() deleting. That is a
use-after-free, and even when it survives, the obstacle set depends on which
object finishes first. Only this object's own supports are consulted now; they
are complete at that point. Foreign objects still contribute their slices,
which are finished and immutable before the support phase.
Apron bands dropped (high), two separate causes. An apron band prints below
its own object's first layer, but another object can already be printing at
that print_z, in which case process_layer() takes the ordinary path and never
emitted the band - the emission is now shared by both paths. Separately, a
band whose print_z matched a support layer of the SAME object was overwritten
in the print-wide merge, which keeps one record per object per z and could not
detect the collision because LayerToPrint::layer() is null for a band. The
per-object pairing loop is now a three-way merge over object, support and apron
streams, so each object contributes at most one record per z.
Multi-instance was far too strict (medium). It refused belt brim for every
multi-instance object, killing plain brim width and inner brim too, and only
warned when a leading length was set. Only movement ALONG the belt changes an
instance's belt-floor Z, so copies side by side ACROSS the belt share one set of
bands perfectly well; belt_brim_instances_compatible() now tests just that, and
the warning fires whenever the brim is actually suppressed.
Apron layer bookkeeping (medium). Apron layers count toward m_layer_count and
advance m_layer_index, but emitted no Z/height tags, left m_last_layer_z,
m_max_layer_z and m_last_height stale - so the first object layer computed its
height against a pre-apron Z - and skipped before_layer_change_gcode and
layer_change_gcode entirely. All of that now matches the ordinary path.
Obstacle cost (low). belt_brim_obstacles() ran a full-plate union per band.
A bounding-box pre-filter drops non-overlapping objects before materialising any
polygon, and the union is skipped for trivial inputs.
Deliberately unchanged: every apron band still reports cooling layer_id 0.
CoolingBuffer uses it for the initial_layer_fan_speed override and the
close_fan_the_first_x_layers gate, and every band lies on the belt plane itself,
so it is all first-layer material by the only definition that means anything on
a belt. Numbering the bands would ramp the fan up while still printing on the
belt. Now documented at the assignment rather than left implicit.
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

(`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.
