* Add Optimized Gyroid infill (auto-tuned wavelength + amplitude)
New infill geometry derived from FillGyroid. Two parameters are
auto-computed per-region from density, line spacing, and layer height
(no user inputs):
omega = sqrt(density_adj) / sqrt(1 + layer_height/spacing)
clamped to [0.5, 2.0]
-- Euler-Bernoulli buckling: critical load ~ 1/L^2,
so shorter wavelength under higher load (denser infill)
raises buckling resistance.
amplitude = 0.55 / omega^2, clamped to [0.20, 0.65]
-- Curved-beam bending stress: peak stress ~ A * omega^2,
so amplitude is reduced as omega rises to keep peak
fiber stress bounded while preserving stiffness.
Files:
- src/libslic3r/Fill/FillOptimizedGyroid.{hpp,cpp} (new)
- src/libslic3r/Fill/FillBase.cpp (factory case)
- src/libslic3r/Fill/Fill.cpp (switch case)
- src/libslic3r/Layer.cpp (switch case)
- src/libslic3r/PrintConfig.{hpp,cpp} (enum + label)
- src/libslic3r/CMakeLists.txt (build sources)
User-facing: appears as "Optimized Gyroid" in the Fill Pattern dropdown.
Density still chosen by user; omega/amplitude are internal.
* Fix build: layer_height is in FillParams, not Fill base
* Add ipOptimizedGyroid to multiline infill list in ConfigManipulation
* Refactor: replace ipOptimizedGyroid enum with gyroid_optimized boolean
Per @RF47's review feedback, fold the optimized wave math into FillGyroid
itself behind a per-region boolean instead of a separate infill enum.
What changes:
- New ConfigOptionBool "gyroid_optimized" on PrintRegionConfig (default
false). When unchecked, gyroid behavior is byte-identical to before.
- Optimized wave math (compute_omega_factor, compute_amplitude_factor,
f_opt, make_*_opt, make_optimized_gyroid_waves) lives inside
FillGyroid.cpp. _fill_surface_single branches on params.gyroid_optimized.
- FillParams gains a bool gyroid_optimized field, populated in Fill.cpp
from region_config alongside fill_multiline.
- UI checkbox added under Strength > Infill in Tab.cpp, label
"Optimize gyroid wave (experimental)". Toggle is hidden by
ConfigManipulation when sparse_infill_pattern != ipGyroid.
- "gyroid_optimized" added to s_Preset_print_options for preset I/O.
What goes away:
- ipOptimizedGyroid enum value, factory case, switch cases, dropdown
label, string key.
- FillOptimizedGyroid.cpp / FillOptimizedGyroid.hpp (math moved into
FillGyroid.cpp).
- Net diff drops by ~250 lines.
Existing profiles using gyroid are unaffected.
* Wire gyroid_optimized through SurfaceFillParams to FillParams
Linux build failed because line 921 in Fill.cpp populates a
SurfaceFillParams (the dedup struct), not FillParams directly.
Add the field there, in operator< / operator==, and copy it to
FillParams at both conversion sites.
* Use toggle_line for gyroid_optimized: hide row when pattern != gyroid
* Account for multiline wall thickness in omega correction (per @RF47)
When fill_multiline = N, each gyroid wall is N lines thick, so the
geometric scale fed into the buckling correction term should be
spacing * N rather than spacing. Increases omega (tighter wavelength)
when multiline is enabled, consistent with the thicker wall being
more buckling-resistant.
* Optimized gyroid via marching squares on the implicit scalar field
Per @RF47 review: replace the analytical f_opt / make_one_period_opt
wave generator (which had visible kinks at vertical-horizontal
transitions) with a marching-squares iso-extraction on the gyroid
scalar field, modeled on FillTpmsFK.cpp.
- New marchsq::GyroidField in FillGyroid.cpp evaluates
F(x,y,z) = sin(fx*x)cos(fy*y) + sin(fy*y)cos(fz*z) + sin(fz*z)cos(fx*x)
where fx = omega * baseline (anisotropic in x), fy = fz = baseline.
- get_gyroid_polylines() runs marching squares at iso=0 and converts
rings to polylines.
- _fill_surface_single() optimized branch now builds GyroidField,
runs marching squares, and skips the bb.min translate (field
output is already in absolute coords).
- Dropped: f_opt, make_one_period_opt, make_wave_opt,
make_optimized_gyroid_waves, compute_amplitude_factor. Amplitude
has no clean analog in iso-zero extraction.
- Standard (non-optimized) gyroid path unchanged.
* Mass calibration: compensate period by cbrt(omega) for x-anisotropic field
Per @RF47: optimized vs standard gyroid had different masses at the
same sparse_infill_density setting. Cause: scaling fx by omega while
leaving fy=fz at the baseline raised the surface-area-to-volume ratio
by approximately omega^(1/3) (the geometric mean of the three
frequencies).
Fix: multiply the base period by cbrt(omega) so the geometric mean of
(fx, fy, fz) returns to the standard baseline. Net effect:
fx = omega^(2/3) * baseline_orig
fy = fz = omega^(-1/3) * baseline_orig
which preserves total mass at the same density setting while
preserving the load-direction anisotropy this PR introduces.
* Switch optimized gyroid anisotropy from X to Z (per @RF47)
Z is the typical compression-load axis for FFF parts and is not at
delamination risk under compression — so the dominant failure mode
is column buckling of the vertical strands themselves. Tightening
fz directly shortens the effective vertical strand length, which
improves Z-axis buckling resistance.
Mass calibration via cbrt(omega) period compensation still applies
(scaling exactly one of three frequencies by omega; the geometric-
mean preservation argument is symmetric across axes).
* Update src/slic3r/GUI/Tab.cpp
Co-authored-by: Rodrigo Faselli <162915171+RF47@users.noreply.github.com>
* Address review feedback (Copilot + @RF47)
- Fill.cpp: gate params.gyroid_optimized on (params.pattern == ipGyroid)
so non-gyroid surfaces don't differ in SurfaceFillParams by an
irrelevant flag (would unnecessarily split fill batching).
[Copilot suggestion, RF47 confirmed correct]
- PrintConfig.cpp: drop "amplitude" from the tooltip; only wavelength
is parameterized (the marching-squares iso=0 extraction is invariant
to a uniform field scale, so amplitude has no effect).
- FillBase.hpp: shorten gyroid_optimized comment to match the actual
carried state (no amplitude term).
- FillGyroid.cpp: shorten the marchsq namespace comment block; the
ODR concern was overstated (FillTpmsFK uses the same pattern fine).
* Drop redundant marchsq bb expansion (Copilot)
bb is already offset by 10 * scale_(spacing) above for edge-artifact
margin; the second offset on bb_field doubled the raster area for no
geometric benefit and hurt CPU time on large parts.
* Update src/slic3r/GUI/Tab.cpp
Co-authored-by: Ian Bassi <ian.bassi@outlook.com>
* Fix density mismatch + rename to Z-buckling bias optimization
Issue (per @ianalexis): at the same sparse_infill_density setting,
the optimized branch produced denser fill than standard. Verified via
Python sim (sim_gyroid_compare.py) using marching squares on the
implicit field across multiple z slices.
Root cause: the omega formula was inverted from the buckling-physics
intent. The naive sqrt(density_adj) factor produced omega < 1 at
typical print densities (10-30%), which LENGTHENED the Z wavelength
instead of shortening it -- net loss in both mass and strength.
Fix:
- compute_omega_factor: invert to sqrt(1 / density_adj), clamp to
[1.0, 2.0]. Now omega = 2.0 at low density (long strands need
most help) and clamps to 1.0 above ~30% density (no-op, since
standard gyroid is already short enough).
- Remove the cbrt(omega) period compensation. Empirically (sim
table embedded in FillGyroid.cpp comment) the inverted formula
keeps line length per area at ~1.000 of standard across all
densities with no period scaling needed.
Predicted gains (sim, Z-axis Euler buckling proxy):
density line/std strength/std
10% 1.000 2.84x
15% 1.000 1.89x
20% 1.000 1.42x
30%+ 1.000 1.00x (no-op)
Rename per @ianalexis: "Optimize gyroid wave" oversells (now no-op
above 30% density and Z-only). Renamed user-facing label to
"Z-buckling bias optimization (experimental)" with updated tooltip
that scopes to vertical compression and discloses the density cutoff.
Internal config key (gyroid_optimized) unchanged for diff size.
Real-world Instron compression tests at Brown's Prince Lab to follow.

Adds the `imex_firmware_managed_zones` printer-config key (default off) for
IDEX/IQEX printers whose firmware applies its own copy/mirror offsets in
non-primary modes (e.g. RepRapFirmware IDEX duplication mode, Flashforge
Creator Pro 2/3 Pro). For these printers the slicer needs to emit a single
centered slice at bed origin and let the firmware fan toolheads out from there;
the previous slicer-managed iMEX rendering would draw a print at the primary
zone's world position (off-bed for the firmware-fan-out paradigm).
When the flag is on and the active mode is non-primary, the slicer subtracts
the primary zone's plate-local center from the gcode emission frame. The
writer offset is augmented but the gcode-processor offset stays at plate_origin
so the gcode-preview visualizer renders the centered slice at the bed center
rather than at the prepare-view zone placement. translate_to_print_space is
augmented too so first_layer_print_min/max placeholders (consumed by user
start_gcode like Felix's M118 header) reflect the centered frame.
Slice handoff lives in PartPlate::refresh_imex_slice_offset, called from both
update_slice_context (plate switch) and Plater::priv::update_background_process
(every-slice path — reslice() goes through here with switch_print=false so the
plate-switch hook alone wouldn't fire on mode toggle).
calc_imex_ghosts early-returns in firmware-managed mode: the existing
imex_head_transform math places ghosts at primary_zone_center + gantry_offset
(slicer-managed semantics), which renders off-bed when the toolpath is being
emitted in a centered frame. Proper firmware-managed ghost rendering (showing
where copies/mirrors will actually print after firmware fan-out) is deferred.
When the flag is off, all the new code paths reduce to no-ops byte-identical to
prior behavior. Layer 1 unit tests in test_imex_helpers cover every gating path
of compute_imex_slice_offset; full ctest suite passes (247/247).

* Fixed an issue on Windows it failed to login Orca Cloud with Google account
The mode-type tag (imex_mode_types config + imex_mode_type_for helper +
Split sentinel) was added in 0bb1cef as scaffolding for the Split rendering
work that landed in 4370cca and then got reverted in d9be71b. With Phase 2-4
gone, this scaffolding is now unused dead code — and the design we settled
on instead is to leave topology entirely implicit (parsed from active_tools_str)
rather than carrying a per-mode type tag the user would otherwise have to
manage explicitly.
The multi-color slicing block + bare T<n> suppression that were the actual
substance of the safeguards work stay in place:
- imex_multicolor_block_reason still allows multi-color exactly when 2+ tools
are active on the primary's gantry — Felix's hypothetical IQEX paired-gantry
case works through this path, no new mode type required.
- Slicer-side: bare T<n> stays suppressed at print-start in IMEX parallel modes;
mid-print T<n> emits naturally for the legitimate IQEX 4-tool-active scenario.
Removed:
- ConfigOptionStrings imex_mode_types (PrintConfig.hpp/cpp + Preset.cpp key list)
- imex_mode_type_for helper + kImexModeType{Primary,Copy,Mirror,Split} sentinels
- mode_type parameter on imex_multicolor_block_reason and the Split short-circuit
- mode_type plumbing in Print::validate and PartPlate::has_imex_multimaterial_conflict
- Three unit tests for imex_mode_type_for + two Split-specific multicolor block tests

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.

# Description
This commit adds the enhancement of https://github.com/OrcaSlicer/OrcaSlicer/issues/13116
- Adds checkboxes to enable or disable the fan speed override during print or after printing is completed. This allows users to, for example, only override the fan speed during printing whilst leaving the fan speed as is set in the machine gcode at the end.
- Two new flags are added for this: `activate_air_filtration_during_print[extruder]` and `activate_air_filtration_on_completion[extruder]`. These can be used to more finely control machine gcode
- Current filament settings remain as they are: `activate_air_filtration[extruder]` settings are unaffected and by default both new flags are set to true, ensuring the same set behavior as before.
# Screenshots/Recordings/Graphs
<img width="856" height="208" alt="Screenshot From 2026-04-09 18-57-14" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/e71e7de3-2def-4046-b5dc-55bf3b516ce5" />
As you can see there are now checkboxes left of the fan speeds. They have their own tooltip too, which also helps identify the correct flags for users who want to adjust their machine gcode.
## Tests
I have thoroughly tested this on my own computer (CachyOS) and on my printer. I have also carefully checked the gcode in every possible state this is in and ensured that the unsaved changes dialog properly displays the labels for these settings. Flags are set properly, sliced files properly use the flags if you check for them in machine gcode and default behavior is unaffected for those who have already changed settings for air filtration. From what I can see, this does exactly what it should be doing without any issues.

Replaces the plater-icon popover with colored transparent ghost copies
of primary-head instances on the plate, one per secondary active head
under its Copy/Mirror role transform. Left-click on a ghost opens a
compact filament picker popover for the ghost's head (MMU lane override).
Ghosts track the primary through drag/rotate/scale/mirror and invalidate
on mode or pem changes.
Key pieces:
IMEXHelpers -- imex_head_transform (Primary/Copy/Mirror), shared role
parser, per-head filament resolution with X-axis Mirror anchor.
PartPlate -- ghost state, volume rebuild on mode/map/object mutation,
primary_origin plumbed for Mirror reflection across the primary-row
gantry plane.
GLCanvas3D -- ghost rendering with per-head filament color and
translucent blending; picking routed via volume composite id.
Plater -- ghost click + tooltip; plater icon left-click always cycles.
IMEXFilamentPickerPopover -- BitmapComboBox row for one secondary head,
writes imex_head_filament_map on selection.
bbs_3mf -- round-trip the per-plate imex_head_filament_map option.
PrintConfig -- add imex_head_filament_map as a plate option.
MMU/AFC routing for parallel modes relies on the printer profile's
physical_extruder_map (see prior commit for authoring format). Primary-
row heads and their per-plate filament overrides are resolved through
that map, so PA and temperature emission address the correct physical
extruder when multiple logical slots share one carriage.
Tests: IMEXHelpers coverage for Primary/Copy/Mirror transforms
including a 2x2 off-row regression guard for the X-axis reflection fix.

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).

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
Previously, wipe tower behavior was determined by checking if the printer
was a QIDI vendor. This introduces a configurable enum (Type 1 / Type 2)
so any printer can select its wipe tower implementation. BBL printers
remain hardcoded to Type 1. Qidi profiles default to Type 1.
Wipe tower interface features and preheat fixes
Fresh PR branch rebuilt on upstream/main (squash of origin/BBL-studio-wipe-tower-merge) to avoid merge-history issues.
Port Z Anti-Aliasing from BambuStudio-ZAA (https://github.com/adob/BambuStudio-ZAA)
to OrcaSlicer. ZAA eliminates stair-stepping on curved and sloped top surfaces
by raycasting each extrusion point against the original 3D mesh and micro-adjusting
Z height to follow the actual surface geometry.
Key changes:
- Add ContourZ.cpp raycasting algorithm (~330 lines)
- Extend geometry with 3D support (Point3, Line3, Polyline3, MultiPoint3)
- Template arc fitting for 2D/3D compatibility
- Change ExtrusionPath::polyline from Polyline to Polyline3
- Add 5 ZAA config options (zaa_enabled, zaa_min_z, etc.)
- Add posContouring pipeline step in PrintObject
- Update GCode writer for 3D coordinate output
- Add ZAA settings UI in Print Settings > Quality
- Add docs/ZAA.md with usage and implementation details
ZAA is opt-in and disabled by default. When disabled, the slicing pipeline
is unchanged.
## Problem
Some Creality printers (e.g. Ender-3 V3 SE) rely on metadata comments in the first lines of G-code files to display print info on the screen (estimated time, filament usage, layer height). This follows a format originally used by Cura/Creality Print:
```
;FLAVOR:Marlin
;TIME:3708.97
;Filament used:6.21m
;Layer height:0.2
```
OrcaSlicer currently has no way to write content before the `HEADER_BLOCK` in the G-code output, and does not expose `print_time_sec` or `filament_length_m` as usable placeholders. As a result, these printers show zeroed-out print info on screen.
## Changes
### 1. New placeholders (post-processing)
Added two new G-code placeholders resolved during post-processing:
- `{print_time_sec}` — total estimated print time in seconds (double)
- `{filament_length_m}` — total filament length in meters (double)
These values are only available after G-code generation, so they use inline marker replacement (`@PRINT_TIME_SEC@`, `@FILAMENT_LENGTH_M@`) that `GCodeProcessor::run_post_process()` substitutes with actual computed values — the same pattern used by existing M73 and layer count placeholders.
### 2. New "File header G-code" option (`machine_top_gcode`)
Added a new G-code field in **Printer Settings > Machine G-code** that writes content at the very top of the output file, before `HEADER_BLOCK_START`. This allows users to add firmware-specific metadata that must appear in the first lines.
### 3. Creality Ender-3 V3 SE profile update
Pre-configured the Ender-3 V3 SE profiles (all 4 nozzle variants) with a default `machine_top_gcode` value matching the Cura-compatible header format, so print info displays correctly out of the box.

## Tests
- Sliced test model with Ender-3 V3 SE profile
- Verified G-code output contains correct values in first lines:
- `;TIME:` with actual print time in seconds
- `;Filament used:` with filament length in meters
- `;Layer height:` with correct layer height
- Verified `{print_time_sec}` and `{filament_length_m}` work in both Machine Start G-code and File header G-code fields
- Verified empty `machine_top_gcode` produces no extra output
- Built and tested on macOS (arm64)
# Description
When creating a new filament preset and setting the Printer Dependencies to "All", the preset does not save this setting. This issue only occurs on creation due to code that is meant to validate the data to prevent a case where the filament is compatible with none of the printers.
EDIT: While I considered redoing the data validation for this tab overall, I have now preserved the original purpose of the code, which is to add the current printer as a compatible printer only if:
- the base preset is a System preset
- the user has not specified any compatible printers
Notably, this seems to be the cause of #11959
Moving the data validation from `Preset::save_current_preset` to `Tab::save_preset` allows the Preset function to be simplified through removal of the current printer parameter.
# Screenshots/Recordings/Graphs
There is no visible change on the UI.
## Tests
Tested the following combinations of filament presets:
- System->new User
- User->new User
- User->same User
Tried to set them to All, where the System->new User should be the only case where this is replaced by a default.
In any case where there are printers already set, those settings should be kept.
