Conflicts resolved in src/libslic3r/GCode.cpp and src/slic3r/GUI/GUI_Factories.cpp.
GCode.cpp: combined upstream's air-filtration per-extruder gating
(activate_air_filtration_during_print / _on_completion), the new
extrusion-role-change gcode lambda, ZAA's path.z_contoured arc-fit
disable, raft-aware slow_down_layers branch, and Vec3d/Line3 ZAA
plumbing with the local belt-printer changes (path_on_first_layer,
effective_layer_index_for_point, should_disable_arc_fitting). All
auto-merged m_writer.X() calls converted to m_writer->X() to match
the local unique_ptr<GCodeWriter> refactor.
GUI_Factories.cpp: inserted brim_flow_ratio in the Support category
list and renumbered around the local build_plate_tilt_x/y entries.

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.

Follow-up to 085f5ccec8. Self-review of that commit's grep output missed
GCodeViewer.cpp. Three sites in the layer-preview multi-carriage marker
logic still compared against the bare "primary" literal:
- GCodeViewer.cpp:1538 — process-preset mode default
- GCodeViewer.cpp:1542 — per-plate mode override gate
- GCodeViewer.cpp:1551 — secondary marker computation gate
All three now use kImexPrimaryMode. The file already includes
IMEXHelpers.hpp (line 13) so no new include needed.
Verified by grepping the full IMEX-touching set: only IMEXHelpers.hpp
itself (the constant definition) still references the literal string,
which is correct.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Four quick-fix items surfaced by pre-PR self-review.
GCodeViewer.cpp:1607
Null-check get_curr_plate() before dereferencing. Other call sites in
the file already guard; this was the only unguarded one in the IMEX
layer-preview path. In practice m_plate_list always has a plate, but
the inconsistency is easy to fix and removes the only ungated deref.
PartPlate.cpp:build_imex_cache_key
Cache key for IMEX zone geometry truncated nozzle_clearance_x/y to int
before stringifying — a config change from 30.0 to 30.5 would not
invalidate the cache. Match the *10 precision pattern already used for
imex_carriage_margin so 0.1 mm steps invalidate correctly.
Plater.cpp:select_plate_by_hover_id (right-click popup)
Two issues:
1. Lambda captured `modes` by reference. PopupMenu() is synchronous
today so the reference outlived the menu's event handling, but the
pattern is fragile — anyone refactoring to async Popup() would
silently dangle. Capture by value.
2. Used wxID_HIGHEST + i for menu item IDs — standard wx anti-pattern
because it can collide with other handlers listening in that range.
Allocate per-item IDs via wxNewId() and look up the chosen mode by
finding the event ID in a parallel vector. The lookup becomes O(N)
instead of O(1) but N is small (mode count) and this is clicker
latency, not a hot path.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>
PartPlate::calc_imex_zones, GCodeViewer::render, and Plater::collect_imex_warnings
each hand-rolled their own "phys:P/C/M" tokenizer with subtly different error
handling. Replace the three inline loops with parse_imex_active_tools +
imex_primary_tool_for_mode so the Primary/Copy/Mirror classification agrees
across zones, the G-code viewer legend, and slice warnings.
No behavior change: the shared helpers preserve the 1=Primary / 2=Copy /
3=Mirror encoding already consumed downstream and continue to accept the
legacy bare-index form as Primary.

* Add runtime display backend detection for Wayland support
Add LinuxDisplayBackend utility to detect X11 vs Wayland at runtime
using GDK_IS_X11_DISPLAY / GDK_IS_WAYLAND_DISPLAY macros. This is
the foundation for removing the forced GDK_BACKEND=x11 and enabling
native Wayland support.
- New files: LinuxDisplayBackend.hpp/.cpp with get_linux_display_backend(),
is_running_on_wayland(), and is_running_on_x11()
- Propagate wxHAVE_GDK_X11 / wxHAVE_GDK_WAYLAND from FindGTK3.cmake
as compile definitions to libslic3r_gui
- No-op on non-Linux platforms (returns Unknown / false)
* Fix Phase 1 code quality: pragma once, source ordering, static cache
* Make X11 initialization conditional for Wayland support
Remove the unconditional GDK_BACKEND=x11 force that blocked native
Wayland. Replace with conditional logic:
- EGL safety fallback: re-force X11 only when wxUSE_GLCANVAS_EGL is
off and WAYLAND_DISPLAY is set, with a warning log
- XInitThreads() only called when DISPLAY is set (X11 in use)
- __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME only set when DISPLAY is present (GLX-specific)
- WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE only set under XWayland (both
DISPLAY and WAYLAND_DISPLAY present)
- Guard X11/Xlib.h include with __has_include for robustness
- Restore display validation to accept either DISPLAY or WAYLAND_DISPLAY
This is Phase 2 of the Wayland support plan.
* Fix Phase 2: safer EGL macro check, add clarifying comments
* Add GLAD2 library and replace GLEW linkage in build system
Set up GLAD2 as a static library to replace GLEW for OpenGL loading.
GLAD2 supports both GLX and EGL, which is required for Wayland support.
- Create src/glad/ with pre-generated GLAD2 sources (GL 4.6 compat)
- Add src/glad/CMakeLists.txt building glad as a static library
- Wire glad into src/CMakeLists.txt before libvgcode
- Modify libvgcode to use shared glad for GL path (keeps local copy
only for GLES2/Emscripten) to avoid duplicate symbol conflicts
- Replace GLEW::GLEW with glad in libslic3r_gui link libraries
Note: GLEW is kept in deps for OpenCSG. Code migration from GL/glew.h
to glad/gl.h headers will follow in Phase 3B+3C.
* Fix Phase 3A+3D: libvgcode GLAD include, dead files, dlopen dep, OpenGL link var
* Migrate from GLEW to GLAD: replace headers and API calls across codebase
Replace all #include <GL/glew.h> with <glad/gl.h> across 49 source files.
Migrate GLEW API calls to GLAD equivalents:
- glewInit/glewExperimental -> gladLoaderLoadGL()
- GLEW_EXT_* / GLEW_ARB_* extension checks -> GLAD_GL_EXT_* / GLAD_GL_ARB_*
- Remove GLEW-specific EGL/GLX mismatch #error guards (not needed with GLAD)
- Replace unavailable EXT symbols with core GL equivalents in
GLCanvas3D.cpp (GL_MAX_SAMPLES, glRenderbufferStorageMultisample,
glBlitFramebuffer, GL_READ/DRAW_FRAMEBUFFER)
- Update log messages from glewInit to gladLoadGL
* Fix Phase 3B+3C: remove GLEW find, clean EXT symbols, update attribution
- Remove find_package(GLEW) block from root CMakeLists.txt since GLEW
is no longer linked by any main application code
- Remove "glew" from SLIC3R_STATIC option description
- Replace all remaining EXT framebuffer symbols with core equivalents
in render_thumbnail_framebuffer_ext and _rectangular_selection_picking_pass
- Update AboutDialog credits from GLEW to GLAD
* Enable EGL in wxWidgets and add runtime GLX/EGL selection for Wayland
- Set wxUSE_GLCANVAS_EGL=ON in wxWidgets build and Flatpak manifest
- Add PreferGLX() call on X11 sessions for driver compatibility
- Remove Phase 2 safety fallback (EGL is now always compiled in)
- Guard SwapBuffers against hidden canvases to prevent Wayland stalls
* Fix Phase 4: move PreferGLX to app startup, fix FPS counter guard
Move wxGLCanvas::PreferGLX() from OpenGLManager::create_wxglcanvas()
(static initializer) to GUI_App::on_init_inner() before any wxGLCanvas
is constructed. This prevents a race where SkipPartCanvas could trigger
wxGLBackend::Init() before the GLX preference is set. The new location
also adds explicit is_running_on_wayland() detection with a warning for
unknown backends.
Move increment_fps_counter() inside the IsShownOnScreen() guard so FPS
is only counted when a frame is actually swapped.
* Update GLFW from 3.3.7 to 3.4 for runtime Wayland/X11 backend selection
Replace the compile-time GLFW_USE_WAYLAND flag (which locked to a single
backend) with GLFW 3.4's GLFW_BUILD_WAYLAND + GLFW_BUILD_X11 flags that
build both backends and auto-select at runtime based on the available
display server. This enables the CLI thumbnail renderer to work on both
Wayland and X11 sessions without separate builds.
* wayland: Fix UI call sites that rely on global screen coordinates
On Wayland, wxGetMousePosition() returns (0,0) and SetPosition() is a
no-op for top-level windows. Fix the highest-impact call sites:
- GLCanvas3D: Use cached m_mouse.position from event handlers instead
of wxGetMousePosition() + ScreenToClient() in get_local_mouse_position()
- Plater: Use event-relative coords via ClientToScreen(e.GetPosition())
instead of wxGetMousePosition() in 3 leave-window handlers
- BBLTopbar: Use event.GetPosition() and FindToolByPosition() directly
in mouse handlers instead of wxGetMousePosition()/FindToolByCurrentPosition()
- Search: Use focus-based dismiss logic on Wayland instead of
wxGetMousePosition()-based rect checks in SearchDialog and
SearchObjectDialog
- GUI_App: Skip SetPosition() in window_pos_restore() on Wayland where
it is a no-op; still restore size and maximize state
- Button: Position tooltip relative to button widget via ClientToScreen
instead of wxGetMousePosition()
* Fix SearchDialog Wayland dismiss: guard against search_line focus
* flatpak: Add Wayland socket permission for native Wayland support
* spec
* Fix crash on Wayland when wxWidgets lacks EGL support
Restore the safety fallback that forces GDK_BACKEND=x11 when wxWidgets
was not built with wxUSE_GLCANVAS_EGL=ON. Without this, the GLX backend
tries to access a non-existent X11 display on native Wayland, crashing
in wxGLCanvas::IsDisplaySupported() with SIGSEGV at offset 0xe4.
Also add a defense-in-depth guard in detect_multisample() that skips
the IsDisplaySupported call entirely on Wayland without EGL.
Root cause: deps/wxWidgets must be rebuilt after enabling EGL. The
compile-time check in OrcaSlicer.cpp detects the mismatch and falls
back safely.
* Fix EGL detection: use wxHAS_EGL instead of wxUSE_GLCANVAS_EGL
wxUSE_GLCANVAS_EGL is a CMake build option, NOT a C++ preprocessor
macro. The actual macro defined in wxWidgets setup.h is wxHAS_EGL.
All compile-time EGL checks were using the wrong macro, causing
the safety fallback to always trigger even with a properly built
EGL-enabled wxWidgets.
* Fix GL function pointers invalidated on Wayland/EGL
gladLoaderLoadGL() dlopen's libGL.so.1 to resolve GL function pointers
via dlsym, then immediately dlclose's the handle. On X11/GLX this is
fine because the GLX context keeps libGL.so mapped. On Wayland/EGL,
nothing else holds libGL.so open, so dlclose unmaps it and all function
pointers become dangling — causing SIGSEGV on the first GL call.
Fix: on Wayland, use gladLoadGL(eglGetProcAddress) which resolves
function pointers through the EGL loader without opening/closing
libGL.so.
* fix crash on start and various rendering issues
* fix crash on close
* small refactor
* move GPU selection to desktop file
* clean up a bit
* clean up more
* fix appimage error
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

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).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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
- Fix support clipping z-shift calculation by removing coordinate-space
mismatch and sync belt_floor_z_shift with global_z_offset; fix
invalidation so posSupportMaterial no longer resets slicing params
- Add belt floor polygon clipping to non-organic tree support
(slim/strong/hybrid) with collision surface integration in
TreeSupportData, belt extension layers, and first-layer brim
suppression
- Add belt floor clipping to organic tree support pipeline with virtual
belt raft layers, per-layer polygons in TreeModelVolumes, and
post-generation layer trimming; fix pre-existing processing_last_mesh
bug in calculateCollision()
Fix belt floor support clipping: z-shift, invalidation, and global offset
- Fix support clipping z-shift calculation by removing coordinate-space
mismatch (raw_bounding_box min.z vs trafo_centered m_belt_min_z) and
sync belt_floor_z_shift with global_z_offset in global shear mode
- Fix invalidation so posSupportMaterial no longer resets slicing params,
preventing the exact posSlice z-shift from being overwritten by the
bounding-box approximation on support-only setting changes
- Remove double-counting of global z_offset on support layers — support
already inherits the offset from object layers during generation

Fix mesh clipping through build plate after belt shear/scale transform
Generalize G-code viewer designed-view toggle for full belt transform
Clip support layers to transformed belt floor plane
Supports below the tilted build plate (Z = shear_factor * from_axis - min_z)

and the static slicing_parameters() overload.
Make belt G-code viewer toggle more prominent, add B keyboard shortcut
- Add separator + teal "Belt Printer" header in legend panel
- Append [B] hint to checkbox label
- Add B key shortcut in GLCanvas3D to toggle designed/machine view
- Read belt_printer_angle from loaded G-code headers to enable belt view
Add per-axis global transform option for belt printer shear
New belt_shear_{x,y,z}_global bool configs. When enabled, shear incorporates
instance shift so objects at different bed positions get position-aware
transform (Z += factor * instance_shift_on_from_axis).
Fix global shear: use layer Z offset instead of mesh transform, add config invalidation
- Global shear offset applied as post-slicing layer print_z adjustment
instead of mesh transform (which was absorbed by min_z normalization
or shifted mesh out of slice range)
- Register all belt transform options in Print::invalidate_state_by_config_options
to trigger posSlice re-slicing (the fallback only invalidated Print steps,
not PrintObject steps — belt changes had no effect without manual re-slice)
- Belt gcode remap options added to steps_gcode (gcode-export only)
- Skip empty-first-layer check for belt objects with global Z offset
WIP: split instances for global shear, relative Z offsets, debug logging
- PrintApply: when belt global mode active, prevent instance grouping by
adding unique Z perturbation to trafo — each copy becomes its own
PrintObject with independent layers
- PrintObjectSlice: compute global Z offset relative to minimum Y shift
across all PrintObjects (lowest-Y object stays at Z=0)
- Debug logging (warning level) for belt global shift values and offsets
Known issues:
- Cached posSlice results cause stale offsets when mixing copies with
individually-added objects — need to compute min baseline outside slice()
- Supports still generate to Z=0 instead of object's global Z offset
Fix global shear for copied objects: disable shared-object layer optimization
When belt global Z shear is active, each object needs unique layer Z
values based on its bed position. The shared-object optimization was
causing copies to reuse the source object's layers (and its Z offset)
instead of computing their own position-based offset.

add 1/sin(a) transform, idea taken from blackbelt cura plugin
Things work now (turns out I've been using the wrong set of transforms)
- Replace monolithic belt rotation transform with independent per-axis
shear controls (mode/angle/source-axis for X, Y, Z) and G-code axis
remapping, giving full flexibility to match any belt printer's
coordinate system
- Remove all rotation mode logic and intermediate type+axes dropdowns,

- Clean up GCodeWriter, GCodeProcessor, and GCodeViewer for the new
shear-only model; expose 12 new settings in printer UI via
Tab.cpp/Preset.cpp
Implement belt printer tilted slicing
Implement the core belt slicing pipeline that makes the slicer
tilt-aware:
Step 1: GCodeWriter::to_machine_coords() - R(+alpha, X) rotation
from slicing frame to machine frame
Step 2: PrintObject - belt-rotated object height calculation
(y*sin(a) + z*cos(a)) for correct layer count
Step 3: PrintObjectSlice - apply R(-alpha, X) rotation trafo so
horizontal slice planes correspond to belt-parallel planes,
with Z-shift computed from model volumes
Step 4: GCodeProcessor - machine-frame preview (no transform needed)
Step 5: 3DBed - rotate bed visualization about X by belt angle
Fix: belt surface IS the build plate, no mesh rotation
Currently still slicing perpendicular to the belt normal. Need to figure out why.
Fix G-code Z sign: use R(-alpha, X) so Z+ is away from belt
The previous R(+alpha, X) transform produced negative Z values
(-y*sin(a) term dominated). Changed to R(-alpha, X) which gives
machine_z = y*sin(a) + z*cos(a), always positive for points
above the belt surface. Z increases with each layer as expected.
reverting and changing slice methodology
Add pink slicing direction arrow from origin
Shows the effective slicing direction (gantry normal) as a pink
arrow from the origin. Shorter and wider than the gravity arrow.
Direction: R(+alpha, X) * Z = (0, -sin(a), cos(a)), which is
the layer stacking direction in the original mesh frame.
Fix slicing arrow visibility and add raw G-code toggle
- Disable depth test for pink slicing arrow so it renders on top of
the tilted bed geometry (was being occluded)
- Remove unnecessary 5mm Z-offset from arrow position
- Add m_belt_show_raw toggle to GCodeViewer
- Add "Show raw G-code (slicing frame)" checkbox in legend when
belt mode is active
Implement to_machine_coords inverse rotation for belt printer G-code
The slicing pipeline rotates the mesh by R(-alpha, X) and shifts Z to
start at 0. The G-code output now undoes this transform via
to_machine_coords: R(+alpha, X) * T(0,0,+z_shift), recovering the
original machine-frame coordinates where Y is horizontal and Z is
vertical.
Changes:
- GCodeWriter: implement to_machine_coords with inverse rotation + Z-shift
- GCodeWriter: add belt_z_shift member and setter/getter
- GCode.cpp: compute Z-shift from print objects (same logic as
PrintObjectSlice) and pass to writer; write z_shift to G-code header
- GCodeProcessor: parse belt_z_shift from G-code header
- GCodeViewer: store belt_z_shift from processor result
Wire raw G-code toggle to apply slicing-frame view transform
When "Show raw G-code (slicing frame)" is checked in the preview
legend, the view matrix is modified to apply R(-alpha, X) * T(0,0,-z_shift)
to the toolpath rendering. This shows the G-code as it was during
slicing: rotated part with horizontal layers.
Default (unchecked): machine-frame view — upright part with tilted layers.
Remove belt printer placeholder comment from GCodeProcessor
The preview now correctly displays machine-frame G-code with the
optional raw view toggle. No transform is needed in the processor.
- Implement core belt slicing pipeline: R(-alpha, X) mesh rotation in PrintObjectSlice with corrected object height calculation for proper layer count
Add to_machine_coords() in GCodeWriter to convert slicing-frame coordinates back to machine-frame, propagated through GCode,
GCodeProcessor, and GCodeViewer
Add belt-mode UI: tilted bed visualization, slicing-direction arrow, and raw G-code toggle to switch between machine-frame and slicing-frame views
This is a combination of 6 commits.
checkpoint 1: initial MVP. Slicing functions, but rotates instead of skews are happening and a lot of other stuff too
getting somewhere, getting to the point where I need to figure out how to verify this stuff
this appears to be a dead end.
getting somewhere I think maybe
I'm pretty sure we've completely lost the plot at this point and need to restart this process...
remove slice logic in preparation for new, more invasive plan
- Wrap GetToolTipCtrl() call in GUI_App.cpp with #if wxVERSION_NUMBER < 3300
guard, as this API may not be accessible in wxWidgets 3.3. The dark tooltip
theming is cosmetic and non-critical.
- Add explicit #include <wx/utils.h> to 7 source files that use functions from
that header (wxGetMousePosition, wxLaunchDefaultBrowser, wxGetDisplaySize,
wxBell) but relied on transitive includes. This preempts breakage from
wxWidgets 3.3 reducing transitive includes.
Files with wx/utils.h added: BBLTopbar.cpp, CreatePresetsDialog.cpp,
CameraPopup.cpp, GLCanvas3D.cpp, GCodeViewer.cpp, GUI_ObjectList.cpp,
FilamentMapPanel.cpp.
Skipped BindDialog.cpp and FilamentPickerDialog.cpp as they already include
wx/wx.h which provides wx/utils.h transitively.
Part of wxWidgets 3.1.5 -> 3.3.2 upgrade.
* Add Pressure Advance visualization support
Signed-off-by: minicx <minicx@disroot.org>
* Port Pressure Advance visualization to libvgcode architecture
Adapt PA visualization (originally in commit e3a77259) to work with
the new libvgcode library introduced by upstream PR #10735.
Changes across the libvgcode stack:
- PathVertex: add pressure_advance field
- Types.hpp: add PressureAdvance to EViewType enum
- ViewerImpl: add ColorRange, color mapping, range updates for PA
- LibVGCodeWrapper: pass pressure_advance from MoveVertex to PathVertex
GCodeViewer UI integration:
- Add "Pressure Advance" to view type dropdown
- Add PA color range in legend (3 decimal places)
- Add PA value display in sequential view marker tooltip
- Add PA row in position properties table
The GCodeProcessor PA parsing (M900, M572, SET_PRESSURE_ADVANCE)
is preserved from the original implementation.

Fix layer/time display in Preview legend for pause/custom G-code
The Preview legend showed incorrect layer numbers and elapsed time for pause/custom G-code entries. The issue was caused by:
• get_layer_id_at() performing a strict upper_bound search on float Z values, while custom G-code stores Z positions as doubles. Minor precision differences often pushed the lookup to return layer 0 or the last layer.
• The legend displayed the raw zero-based layer index.
Fixes included:
• Fetch layer Z values as doubles and use an epsilon-based closest-layer search.
• Display layers as 1-based values for user-facing UI.
• Accumulate time up to the beginning of the identified layer.
This aligns the legend with the vertical slider marker and provides consistent pause/custom G-code reporting.
* line type by default single extruder
* Defautl to color print if use multicolor
* Update condition for setting view type in GCodeViewer
* Refine default view type selection in GCodeViewer
Improves logic for selecting the default view type based on nozzle and filament preset counts. Now selects 'Summary' for multiple nozzles, 'ColorPrint' for single nozzle with multiple filaments, and 'FeatureType' otherwise.
* Refactor multimaterial detection in GCodeViewer
Introduced a 'multimaterial' boolean to clarify logic for detecting multiple filament presets. This improves readability and maintains consistent behavior when setting the view type based on extruder and filament count.
* Bugfixes
* Reduce size of diff
to avoid merge conflicts when we cherry-pick from upstream :)
* remove extraneous space
