The slicing frame of a belt object started at its lowest vertex, but the
belt under the leading end of an overhang lies below that, by the
overhang's length times the tilt's shear. Every support generator works
in layers at z >= 0, so none of them could reach it: normal supports
stopped at the object's own lowest layer, and the two tree generators
each carried a stack of hacks to extend themselves below it (a post-hoc
copy of the lowest base area in TreeSupport, "virtual belt raft layers"
in TreeSupport3D/TreeModelVolumes), sized from the pre-rotation bbox
and capped at global z = 0, which is only right for the trailing half
of the belt.
Start the frame at the lowest belt-floor point under the footprint
instead, less a 10 mm margin along the belt for the base of a support
column (BeltSliceStrategy::apply_preslice_transforms and
BeltTransformPipeline::compute_belt_height_and_floor agree on it). The
layers between it and the first vertex come out empty, which belt
slicing already tolerates, and the generators need no extension at all:
- normal supports: the generator anchors its layer grid at the frame
origin, so run it in the object frame and shift the global belt Z
offset onto the result afterwards, as organic supports already did.
With the offset on the object layers a top contact at negative z
turned the intermediate-layer count negative and the generator
allocated layers until the kernel killed it (any overhang in the
leading half of the belt). Drop the first-layer flange expansion on a
belt: the first support layer is the leading tip of the support, not
a flange, and inflating it put lines in the air ahead of the belt.
- classic tree: a node now keeps dropping until its whole circle is in
the belt, so the branch tapers to a tip on the belt instead of
stopping, a radius above it, when its centre crosses.
- organic: the belt is no longer a support blocker. A blocker is a
collision, and a branch descending onto one slides off it, down the
tilted belt and ahead of the part; the belt is where branches end,
which the per-layer m_belt_floor clipping already does.
The belt brim is generated after the parallel support step instead of
inside it: belt_brim_obstacles() reads every object's layers and support
layers, which another object's support step rebuilds (and, now, shifts)
at the same time. This is the race behind the Windows arm64 segfault
in "Belt brim of each object precedes its perimeters on its own
filament".
Also: the belt tilt axis moves to Developer mode as its own row (a
shared line is shown by its first option's mode), first_layer_plane
band thickness, belt_support_floor_mode, belt_preslice_global and
gcode_back_transform are retired and presumed on, the gravity arrow is
a plain line along the up direction, and the "Show raw G-code (belt
only)" preview toggle is gone.
Regression test: "Belt supports reach the belt under a leading
overhang" slices a cube with a fin whose underside is parallel to the
layers, 20 mm ahead of the cube and up to 41 mm of slicing Z above the
belt, for normal, organic and classic tree supports, and checks that
the lowest support layer sits on the belt beneath its own lines.

* Remove Unused Project Includes and Forward-Declare Where a Type Is Only Referenced
Generated with include-what-you-use and applied conservatively. Only OrcaSlicer's own headers, the ones under src/ and tests/, are removed or forward-declared; standard-library and third-party includes are left alone. An include is removed only when both the Release and the Debug configuration leave it unused, never from inside a conditional block, and never from a file with platform-specific blocks, which only gain includes. Files whose only use of a header sits behind a feature or debug macro (libvgcode's OpenGL ES and marker code, the ARACHNE/TESTS_EXPORT_SVGS debug output) keep their includes.
clonable_ptr.hpp gains #pragma once; it had no include guard and was only safe while Config.hpp was its sole includer.
* Remove Unused Project Includes From Files With Platform-Specific Code
A Linux include-what-you-use run cannot see the code inside _WIN32, __APPLE__ or __linux__ blocks, so its verdict is only taken where nothing the removed header declares, directly or through what it includes, is named inside those blocks. Removals also have to hold in both the Release and Debug configuration and never touch a line inside a conditional block.
* Restore the libslic3r Precompiled Header and Direct Includes Lost in the Platform Pass
The platform-file pass treated pchheader.hpp as an ordinary header and
emptied it, and left GUI_Preview.hpp and 14 other files relying on
headers they no longer reached directly.
* Restore MainFrame.hpp in ParamsDialog.cpp for the Windows-Only Reparent Call
* Include Headers That Files Reached Through Ones the Cleanup Removed
* Drop Includes Duplicated by the Cleanup or by Main's Own Additions
* Leave PreciseSeam.cpp as Main Has It After the Precise Seam Rework
Brings belt-printer up to main 4b4a261787. Resolutions:
- G-code header (#15897, #15915): main moved the header, config and
thumbnail block later in _do_export; write_belt_header() moves with it,
still after the thumbnails and outside the BTT_TFT gate.
- _extrude: first-layer acceleration keeps the per-path first-layer plane
test with main's cached nozzle index (#16028); main's set_speed out-param
form (#16108) everywhere else.
- GCodeWriter (#16108): the arc-to-polyline fallback for machine mappings
that cannot express G2/G3 now runs in the out-param extrude_arc_to_xy,
which is the overload GCode calls, and appends to the caller's string.
- GCodeProcessorResult: the belt fields join main's forwarding assign.
- Clipper2 (#15969): belt arrange helpers take Slic3r::Point; the tree
support join types lose their ClipperLib qualifier.
- CLI arrange (#15837): belt printers still reserve no wipe tower.
- Wipe tower options (#15841): the two new sparse-layer toggles are hidden
for belt printers like the rest of the tower options.
- Keyboard shortcuts (#15706): main's registry replaces the old key switch;
the belt view toggle is re-registered in the next commit.
- Print::process: the belt purge-plan undo runs before main's SliceStarted
event.
- scripts/filament_id_snapshot.json: deleted on main (a77209af8f).
- Includes and appended tests: union of both sides.
* Add Missing Includes Across src/libslic3r
Every libslic3r source and header now directly includes the headers declaring what it uses, rather than relying on the precompiled header or transitive includes. Generated with clang-tidy misc-include-cleaner, with libslic3r headers spelled libslic3r/... so they resolve outside the library's private include paths. MultiMaterialSegmentation.hpp, Support/SupportParameters.hpp and Format/STEP.hpp are made self-contained by hand.
* Make the libslic3r Headers Compile on Their Own
Each now includes, or forward-declares, what it uses instead of relying on what its includers happened to include first. Left out: I18N.hpp, which errors on purpose when included from GUI code, and VoxelizeCSGMesh.hpp and SLA/bicubic.h, which nothing includes and which no longer compile at all.
* Add the Includes Missing From the Hand-Fixed libslic3r Headers
clang-tidy would not edit these headers while they failed to compile on their own, so the first pass skipped them. With the headers now self-contained, a second pass adds the rest.
* Keep Windows Setup Ahead of the Added libslic3r Includes
Print.cpp and Thread.cpp open with a _WIN32 block that has to come first; without the precompiled header, Print.cpp otherwise reaches windows.h through OCCT with NONLS defined and boost/regex fails. OpenVDBUtils.cpp and SLA/SupportTreeBuilder.cpp had includes inside #ifndef NOMINMAX, which libslic3r defines on Windows, so those were skipped there. .clang-tidy also ignores the MSVC STL and UCRT internals, Boost.Multiprecision's fwd.hpp and CPython's Windows include directory.
* Re-Add libslic3r Includes After the Clipper2 2.0.1 Migration
Rebasing onto main took main's version of the files the Clipper2 migration rewrote, so their added includes are restored here, along with includes for main's new code. Clipper2's individual headers are now ignored by clang-tidy: they only build the Z variant through clipper2_z.hpp, which defines USINGZ first, so including clipper.core.h and the like directly broke ClipperZUtils.cpp.
Drops the [BELT-DEBUG], [BELTRACE], [BELT-CALIB] and [BELT-PREVIEW] log
lines, the SLIC3R_BELT_DIAGNOSTIC_LOG blocks, and the counters and
temporaries that existed only to feed them. Six of the purge tower lines
logged at warning level, which is Orca's default, on every plan. Raised in
Hanif Koh's review of #14394.
Brings in upstream/belt-printer (the Sept 14 main merge) plus Hanif Koh's
21 review-fix commits from PR #15685, on top of the MachineKinematics
refactor and the purge-prism / tree-support / first-layer-speed fixes.
Conflict resolution:
- BeltGCodeWriter is gone (kinematics refactor), so Hanif's plate-offset
fix for it is ported into GCodeWriter: the first-layer-plane checks in
travel_to_xy / travel_to_xyz / _travel_to_z now evaluate the plate-local
point, and BeltGCode::init_belt_writer hands the stored plate origin to
the writer it installs.
- init_belt_writer(Print&) takes Hanif's signature; the BBL flag is set on
the surviving writer by GCode::_do_export.
- The shared emit_belt_brim_bands() loop keeps the BeltFloorObjectGuard the
local branch added, so apron bands classify first-layer height against
their own object.
- eager_lift keeps effective_type: it now carries set_force_normal_lift().
- GCodeWriter's initializer list follows Hanif's member order with
m_kinematics in its declared position.
- TreeSupport::detect_overhangs uses Hanif's clamped build_plate_tilt_slope()
for the non-belt path and the belt shear for the belt path.
Extension layers were all created with id 0, so every one of them could be taken for the first layer by id-only checks (ooze-prevention standby temperature, cached layer ids). Renumber the support layers after inserting them.
The three support generators each computed lh * tan(tilt), which overflows
coord_t at 90 degrees and flips sign beyond it (belt sync can write up to
180). One helper now returns the tilt slope with the tilt capped at 89 degrees.
Merge origin/main (00429da739) into belt-printer.
Conflicts resolved:
- src/CMakeLists.txt: keep both wxInspector workarounds.
- GCodeProcessor.cpp: keep the belt compare_pos / z_for_height lines.
- PrintObjectSlice.cpp: the belt bbox-Z guard also covers main's
printable_region_ids bookkeeping.
- TreeSupport.cpp: the belt-floor check runs before main's PendingNode
queueing.
- Tab.hpp: keep the belt fields, drop the removed upload description
fields.
- tests/libslic3r/CMakeLists.txt: keep both test files.
Also included:
- eSUN PLA belt presets declare their own filament_id (OFkrxQC4) and
scripts/filament_id_snapshot.json is regenerated, as main's filament_id
check requires.
- Custom.json version bumped to 02.04.00.05 so the belt entries reach
existing installs.
- Fix the ambiguous WithinRel call in the belt apron width test, which
otherwise breaks the fff_print build.
1. Belt tree support could not slice at all.
layer_initialize() hardcodes layer 0's bottom_z to 0, encoding "below layer 0 is
the build plate at z = 0". True for a flat bed; false for a belt, whose virtual
support layers legitimately extend below zero. The bottom-most belt layer
therefore got height = print_z - 0 = -9.8, which reached Flow::with_height() and
threw FlowErrorNegativeFlow.
A 3DBenchy, a mushroom, an L-bracket and an extruded L all failed identically
with negative flow / return -100. Only a bare cube sliced, because its support
never reached that far down.
The bottom is now taken from the previous layer's z, and only a layer 0 whose
print_z is itself negative gets a synthesised bottom below it. Every
non-negative print_z -- every non-belt configuration -- keeps exactly the
previous 0, so this is behaviour-preserving off a belt by construction. An
earlier form used min(0., layer_z(0) - layer_height), which regressed flat beds
whenever the initial layer was thinner than the layer height.
3DBenchy on a 45-degree belt with organic tree support: fails to slice ->
247 support blocks / 168,596 extrusions.
2. Support generated against the belt, and against belt-tilted walls.
A plain 20mm cube on a 45-degree belt generated 86 support blocks and 46,307
support extrusions. Three causes, all gated on the belt floor being active:
a. The build-plate tilt compensation shifted the lower layer the wrong way.
tan(build_plate_tilt_*) carries a magnitude but no direction, and the sign
chosen moved the lower layer away from the newly appearing material rather
than under it, doubling the mismatch. The shift now comes from
belt_floor_shear_factor / belt_floor_from_axis, which carry sign and axis
exactly. Non-belt tilted beds keep the previous behaviour.
b. Material resting on the belt was treated as unsupported. The belt surface
is now unioned into the effective lower layer, sampled at the bottom of the
layer -- a layer meets the belt across its thickness and print_z is the
top. The half-plane is clipped to the layer's bounding box first: unioning
a +/-1000mm half-plane raw with 20mm-scale geometry put a huge dynamic
range through Clipper and left intermittent artefacts every few layers.
c. The object's first slice can be empty on a belt (the bottom vertex is a
sub-extrudable sliver), leaving the layer above with an empty predecessor
even though it rests on the belt. (b) already covers that per island. What
did need fixing is sharp-tail detection, which tests each island against
the raw lower slices; with an empty predecessor that test is trivially true
and every belt-contact island read as a sharp tail. It now tests against
the same effective lower layer.
An earlier form instead skipped the whole layer when the point of
get_extents(curr_polys) -- the bounding box of the union of every island --
nearest the belt was in contact. That was wrong in a way worth recording:
one island resting on the belt could suppress overhang and sharp-tail
detection for a separate island floating well above it. Every decision here
is per-island.
Cube on belt: 46,307 -> 0 support extrusions. Same cube non-belt: 0 before and
after. Benchy on belt still 247 blocks / 168,596 extrusions and a mushroom
111 / 82,157, so false positives are removed without suppressing true ones.
Non-belt is unchanged by measurement, not only by the belt_ovh_active gate:
the same mushroom sliced on a Cartesian printer before and after gives 65,866
support extrusions and 68,717 total extrusions both times, the two G-code
files differing in exactly one line -- the object's plate position.
3. m_anti_overhang was filled and read in different index spaces.
It is consumed in the same index space as m_layer_outlines, where object layer i
lives at num_raft_layers + i, but was filled in object-layer space. Every entry
landed num_raft_layers too low (50 for a 20mm cube at bed Y=50) and the topmost
object layers got none. The belt injection also ran before m_raft_layers was
extended, so it could not have known the offset.
The array is now shifted as a whole and the injection moved after the raft
extension. This also repairs user support blockers under a raft, which is not
belt-specific: it changes behaviour for any ordinary raft, not just the belt's
virtual one, and should be reviewed as a general fix. Measured effect on the
cube was small on its own (46,307 -> 46,334 before the other fixes) because
m_anti_overhang only feeds calculate_placable; kept as a correctness fix on its
own merits.

* Make tree support deterministic without giving up its parallelism
* Break equal-distance ties in the tree support MST by coordinates
* test: cover the determinism this PR fixes
The MST unit tests here cover the tie-break, but the drop_nodes rework
has no test.
Adds two cases to the tree support suite. The thread-scheduling one
slices five configs twice each and compares the support point sequence,
which is what the node ordering moves. The MST tie one pins the branch
diameter and line width that carry Prim's equal-distance ties into the
toolpaths.
slice_with_tree_support takes an optional config list so the second case
can add the tree parameters it needs, and the double-slice comparison is
shared rather than written twice.
Both fail on main without this PR. The first passes from 60d1ceb580, the
second from e148865dd6.

* build: enable /Zc:lambda for MSVC
MSVC keeps its legacy lambda processor under /std:c++17, which rejects
reading a constexpr constant inside a lambda that does not capture it
(C3493). No other compiler requires that capture, and clang reports it as
an unused one, so the two cannot both be satisfied without the flag.
/Zc:lambda selects the conforming lambda parser that clang and GCC
already use. It is implied by /std:c++20 and /permissive-, so it is only
needed while we are on C++17. clang-cl is conforming already and does not
take the flag.
It requires VS2019 16.8, so build_release_vs.bat now says 16.8+.
* build: clear 237 unused lambda capture warnings
236 captures across 81 files, 142 of them `this`. Removing an unused
capture changes no behavior; clang does not report a capture whose type
has a non-trivial destructor, so nothing held only to extend an object's
lifetime is in this set.
Nine of them are the second half of the warning, "is not required to be
captured for this use", where the capture is a const or constexpr value
the body does read. Those depend on the /Zc:lambda change in the previous
commit. One of them, in FillRectilinear.cpp, had been worked around with
an #ifndef __APPLE__ guard around the capture list, which is now gone.
GUI_ObjectTableSettings.cpp captured its reset button only to read it
inside #ifdef __WXOSX_MAC__. That branch now takes the button from the
event it is already handling.
* build: fail configure on MSVC older than 19.28 instead of dropping /Zc:lambda
cl.exe answers an unrecognized /Zc: sub-option with warning D9002 and keeps
going, so on VS2019 before 16.8 the flag is silently ignored and the build
instead dies with C3493 in FillRectilinear.cpp, nowhere near the cause.
* fix: delete three locals that are now unused
Their only remaining use was the lambda capture this branch removed. The
Clang builds set -Wno-unused-variable, so the build never flagged them.

* build: remove std::move that blocks copy elision
std::move wrapped around a temporary, or around a local being returned,
stops the compiler constructing it in place. Each edit is the fix clang
suggests, which is to delete the std::move call and keep its argument.
Three of the 39 sites save a move, the two return std::move(local) in
Print.cpp and TreeSupport.cpp:2749. The rest are equivalent either way
and match how the codebase already writes this elsewhere.
Clears 39 -Wpessimizing-move warnings.
* build: drop null checks on references and this
A reference cannot be bound to null and this cannot be null, so the
compiler folds these conditions to true and drops the guard. Seven are
if (&bitmap && bitmap.IsOk()), where IsOk() already does the work; two
test this directly. The guarded code runs either way, so removing the
dead operand changes nothing.
Clears 11 -Wundefined-bool-conversion warnings.
The 2-node merge moved the two valid=false writes outside the mutex that
upstream held together with the contact_nodes push_back; restore a single
critical section per branch (belt branch also guards to_buildplate).
Remove an unused top_interface_layers local in drop_nodes.
Brings the belt-printer work up to date with 591 upstream commits.
Conflict resolutions (12 files, 42 hunks):
- GCode.cpp: adopted upstream's per-filament/per-nozzle config refactor
(get_filament_config_index, NOZZLE_CONFIG), the extracted
generate_timelapse_gcode + farthest-point timelapse, and the
ConfigOptionFloatsNullable calibration options. Re-applied the belt
hooks on top: init_belt_writer / axis remap / FirstLayerPlane setup,
on_set_origin, the belt-corrected calib_z for the volumetric speed
tower, and path_on_first_layer (belt's per-path first-layer test) in
place of upstream's layer-index on_first_layer() in the acceleration,
jerk and overhang-detection paths. Swept upstream's new m_writer.
uses to m_writer-> since belt holds the writer by unique_ptr.
- interpolate_value_across_layers: kept upstream's banded stepping and
belt's object-Z-span ratio; dropped upstream's duplicate ratio decl.
- Plater.cpp: took upstream's guarded add_model(...) early-returns and
the VFA vfa_layer_height plumbing; kept the belt temp-tower path,
_calib_apply_belt_mode and belt_calib_flip_ringing_tower. Dropped the
VFA "cut upper" block, superseded upstream by model scaling.
- Brim.cpp: upstream's ObjectInstanceID-keyed brimAreaMap, keeping the
belt early-return.
- 3DScene.cpp: kept both the belt build-plate tilt up_direction and
upstream's per-extruder printable-height shading.
- GCodeViewer.cpp: kept upstream's dim-previous-layers setup and belt's
exemption from the same-result early return.
- TreeSupport.cpp: upstream's >= 0 roof-layer fix inside belt's
belt-floor branch.
- calib.cpp / GCode.hpp / GCodeWriter.{cpp,hpp} / Print.hpp: upstream's
additions adapted to belt's pointer-held writer and helpers.
- Custom.json: kept profile version 02.04.00.03 (belt) over upstream's
02.04.00.01; both bumped from 02.04.00.00.
Building this tree needs the wxInspector dependency, which upstream
added in the interim (python3 and wxWidgets 3.3.2 were already present
in the shared deps prefix).

Reconciles the belt-printer branch with upstream PRs through #13723. Six
files had conflicts; three additional files needed manual follow-up fixes
where the auto-merge produced code that referenced upstream-renamed fields
or changed function signatures.
Notable reconciliations:
- TreeSupport.cpp: kept belt-floor early-exit branches around HEAD's
drop-down logic, folded upstream's `(distance_to_top > 0 ? 1 : 0)`
formula into the non-belt-floor path (upstream PR #11812). Dropped dead
`roof_enabled`/`force_tip_to_roof` locals.
- TreeSupport3D.cpp: combined upstream's safety-offset + remove_small
changes with HEAD's belt-floor clip in the per-slice trim loop. Dropped
HEAD's `else` block (superseded by upstream's rewritten bottom-contact
propagation) and re-added the belt-floor clip into the new propagation
loop. Gated the propagation on belt printers to prevent OOM when
belt-floor clipping produces empty initial slices.
- TriangleSelector.{cpp,hpp}: merged both new `select_patch` parameters
(HEAD's `up_direction` and upstream's `select_partially`); body uses
`dot(up_direction)` for the overhang angle check and forwards
`select_partially` to `select_triangle`.
- SupportMaterial.cpp: `slicing_params.soluble_interface` →
`zero_gap_interface_bottom` in HEAD's `detect_belt_floor_bottom_contacts`,
matching upstream's same-purpose rename at line 2495.
- Custom.json, GCodeWriter.cpp: simple additive merges (kept entries /
includes from both sides).
Verified by building OrcaSlicer (RelWithDebInfo) after a full deps
rebuild (Eigen v5.0.1, libigl v2.6.0 are now managed deps) and slicing
a scaled Benchy on the NORMALIZER belt-printer profile without OOM.

Fix hybrid tree first-layer support base flow and UI consistency
Fix incorrect first-layer generation for hybrid tree supports.
The support base on the first layer used brim flow instead of support material flow,
which could lead to incorrect extrusion behavior and wrong material usage in
multi-material prints.
Additionally, spacing and density for the regular support part were not consistently
derived from the actual first-layer support flow when first-layer and regular
line widths differed.
Hybrid-specific behavior is clarified:
- first-layer expansion applies only to the regular support part
- tree-only regions keep their existing behavior
The first-layer support pattern is aligned with normal and organic tree supports
to ensure consistent and meaningful density behavior.
Also make first-layer support expansion and density settings visible whenever
supports are enabled, as density was already affecting hybrid supports but was
hidden in the UI.
* Fix support interface semantics and gap handling
Fix zero-gap interface detection and gap initialization for supports and raft.
Ensures correct top/bottom contact semantics and avoids relying on default zero gaps.
* Additional fixes and robustness improvements
Fix incorrect coupling between top and bottom support interface spacing and density, ensuring bottom interfaces use their own parameters for smoothing and toolpath generation.
Restore correct bottom interface generation for organic (tree) supports when a non-zero bottom Z gap is used, and preserve contacts even when base polygons are empty.
Improve robustness of organic support slicing by fixing layer index drift and guarding against degenerate polygon boolean operations.
* Typo and semantics fix
differnt_support_interface_filament -> different_support_interface_filament
soluble -> zero_top_z_gap
* Fix non organic tree bottom support interface generation
Slim tree bottom interface layer numbers were capped by the object's layer number beneath it.
Fixed by refactoring the generation algorithm.
* Fix non organic tree interlaced support generation
Deterministic local interlaced support layers generation for non-organic tree support
* Enable support interface multimaterial for non organic tree
Enables mixed-material support interface behavior for non organic tree support type.
* Fix tree support interface layer counts and contact handling
- Correct non‑organic tree top interface layer budgeting so gaps don’t consume a layer (N stays N).
- Remove the extra roof interface pass that was duplicating the 2nd layer.
- Organic tree: use only the lowest contact footprint and avoid extra bottom‑contact extrusion so interface count matches the user setting.
* Bugfixes (a lot)
Many, many bugs fixed, majority edge-case but still not playing by the rule.
Some of them:
- on multilevel base, on very small level variations the support was capped to the topmost level height
- non-organic tree had gaps for supports in a multilevel base situiation
- independent support layer height had issues with support interfaces (base support beneath bottom interface, top contact layer sometimes missing)
- organic tree had issues with small variation multi-level base
- organic tree support with zero top Z distance could overlap support-material and interface-material paths when separate materials were used
- many, many others (I lost track of them)
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.

Fix support preview artifacts caused by incorrect gap subdivision
Support generation could sometimes split a gap into too many steps,
even when it should fit exactly into a single layer.
This was most noticeable when max_suport_layer_height was equal to
the print layer height (e.g. 0.2 mm).
This resulted in incorrect support layering and visible artifacts
in preview.
The issue was caused by floating-point precision, where values that
should be equal to the configured limit were treated as slightly larger.
Fix by biasing the subdivision calculation with EPSILON so near-equal
values are not split into extra steps.
Applied consistently to:
- SupportMaterial (normal supports)
- TreeSupportCommon (tree stepping)
- TreeSupport (layer creation)
- Add BeltBackTransform class that inverts the shear/scale matrix and
applies it in GCodeWriter::to_machine_coords() so G-code outputs in
the machine's physical coordinate space, gated by new
belt_gcode_back_transform config option
- Extend belt floor clipping to all three tree support pipelines
(Prusa-style, Orca organic, TreeModelVolumes) with per-layer polygon
clipping, anti-overhang integration, and belt raft extension layers
- Fix tree drop_nodes() belt termination, organic support global Z
offset, collision calculation index bug, and first-layer brim/empty
layer checks for belt printers
two-shot - first build built but didn't plumb to UI. Woah.
add pre-slice axis remap, because Y needs to be Z
going to change tactic and move based on bbox min
switch to per axis snapping
per axis swap snap now per object
build plate tilt wasn't invalidating slicer settings
support upper bound now correct, need to get lower bound corrected
axis swapped support termination corrected
Z Shear works with and without pre-slice remap now
- 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

UI: gray out inactive belt sub-options, rename to mesh transforms, move to Advanced
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)
are now clipped via half-plane intersection after generation. Belt floor
parameters stored in SlicingParameters and populated in both update_slicing_parameters()
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.
started work on getting supports to work properly
one step forward, one step back
this version didn't quite work. Getting somewhere though
about to add UI controllable tests
added configuration options for supports
tweak CLAUDE.md to be more aggressive for my machine. This commit should probably be pulled out before contributing upstream
still chasing down some bugs
moving objects between slices no longer results in improper Z-height because of caching
added more data to the debug logs
Z offset is getting more global again
still not quite there, I think there's a fundamental logic flaw?
hunting for bugs
finally have a functional fix
Add belt floor clipping to tree supports (organic and non-organic)
- Add belt floor polygon clipping to non-organic tree support
(slim/strong/hybrid) in draw_circles() and terminate nodes at the
belt surface instead of the horizontal build plate
- Add belt floor clipping to organic tree support pipeline with virtual
belt raft layers for sub-floor branch generation, per-layer belt
floor polygons in TreeModelVolumes, and post-generation layer trimming
- Fix pre-existing processing_last_mesh bug in TreeModelVolumes that
prevented m_anti_overhang (support blockers) from ever being applied;
skip empty first layer check for belt printers
Commits:
current approach: make a face surface to build supports to
closer!
supports now terminate on shear plane, now need to get shear plane to correct Z height
nearly there
chasing down logic issues still
committing for checkpoint, this still does not work
still got logic problems...
cull support clipping
stashing changes for now. Going to focus on getting the global shear OFF support generation dialed first.
beginning per object shear calcs
Local shear transform is on correct Z offset now
local shear finally works now and needs more testing
global shear works now, needs thorough testing
debugging non-45 degree angles
debugging part 2
supports at all angles work now
remove debug logging
Add belt floor collision to non-organic tree support pipeline
- Integrate belt floor as a collision surface in TreeSupportData so
branches route around the belt naturally, replacing the explicit
termination checks in drop_nodes()
- Add belt extension layers below the object after draw_circles() to
allow support geometry to extend to the diagonal belt surface instead
of terminating at a horizontal first layer
- Fix coordinate overflow in belt floor polygons (scale_(1e4) exceeds
int32), skip first-layer brim expansion for belt printers, and
extend empty first layer check bypass to all belt modes
add debug logging, Z translate for tree supports
still not seeing any cutoff surface yet
adding debug options
attempt #2 at trees
if hit Z buildplate stop but don't set to_buildplate true
getting closer
tree support almost there, just need to get rid of the circles at the beginning
getting closer
belt / shear plane clip works, need to figure out the buidlplate plane issues
more logic, added debugging logs
supports now extend somewhat below Z=0 in global shear mode
fix bad alloc, add 10mm below build plate
fully works now
shear transform + prusa tree support generation works now.
pull out debug logging
Fixes#11082
Slicing is going to the endless loop when the `Base pattern spacing` value is 0 for `Tree Slim` support.

According to https://eigen.tuxfamily.org/dox/TopicPitfalls.html one
should just avoid using `auto` as the type of an Eigen expression.
This PR fixes most of them I could found in the project. There might be
cases that I missed, and I might update those later if I noticed.
This should prevent issues like #7741 and hopefully fix some mysterious
crashes happened inside Eigen calls.
