A belt printer slices in a rotated frame, so the belt surface is a tilted
plane rather than the Z=0 bed plane. Each slicing layer touches the belt
only along a narrow strip at its leading edge - about 0.2mm at 45 degrees -
so a part's first layer is really a first line, with almost no contact patch
to hold it down while the belt drags it forward. Brim was hard-disabled on
belt printers, leaving no remedy at all.
Generate the brim on the belt plane instead. The object's belt footprint is
the union over layers of each slice clipped to that layer's contact band; the
brim is offset from it in a "flattened" frame where the shear axis is
stretched by 1/cos(tilt), so ordinary Clipper offsets measure true on-belt
distance. It is emitted as cross-belt lines, one per layer band, anchored to
a fixed fraction of the band so every line shares a nozzle-to-belt clearance
and therefore comes out the same width; flow is matched to the resulting band
pitch, keeping the sheet uniform and gap-free.
Three new controls, all belt-only:
* Leading brim length - extends the brim ahead of the part along the belt,
on every downhill-facing edge of its contact area. This apron necessarily
prints BELOW the object's first layer, since layer 0 is the part's leading
contact, so it needs brim-only bands of its own.
* Extra brim width - widens the brim sideways across the belt only.
* Brim type "Leading edge only" - brim at the part's first belt contact and
nothing after it. Appended last in BrimType so no existing value shifts;
degrades to an outer brim off belt printers, with a warning.
The apron bands are lightweight records rather than a Layer subclass, so no
fabricated Layer::id() can leak into initial-layer temperature selection, the
spiral vase probe, cooling or gradual interpolation. They are generated in
posSupportMaterial because their print_z values must exist before ToolOrdering
is built at psWipeTower, and they are emitted from a short dedicated branch in
process_layer that runs before any layer pointer is dereferenced.
The footprint is closed before offsetting outwards: a belt contact patch is
often a broken-up strip, and the merged offset rings of two islands closer
than 2 x brim_width would otherwise fill the space between them - space that
lies under the part.
Also fixes a pre-existing bug where PrintObject::get_first_layer_bbox()
overwrote a valid bbox with an unassigned one on any belt printer with a brim
configured, because has_brim() was true while make_brim() returned early.
Belt brim is refused alongside the prime tower and spiral vase, and requires
one instance per PrintObject - translating an instance along the belt axis
changes its physical belt-floor Z. Untilted belt printers are unchanged: they
still get no brim, since the plate brim is emitted out of skirt_brim_groups(),
which _make_skirt() never builds for a belt printer.
Adds a printer option that picks up the new tool without a blocking temperature
wait, travels to the wipe tower, and waits there right before purging, parked
beside the tower so the ooze from the heat-up lands next to it rather than on the
model. The incoming filament's target is raised ahead of the tool change, so the
heat-up overlaps both the change itself and the travel to the tower.
Off by default, and only offered for multi-extruder printers using a Type 2 wipe
tower; the generic toolchanger profile enables it.
* update snapmaker profiles. largely ported for Snapmaker Orca fork
* update prime volume
* set precise_outer_wall to 1
* Update per-material multi-tool ramming to the filament library
* Add per-filament overrides for toolchange retraction
* Set toolchange retraction per filament for Snapmaker U1
* set default support type to tree
* format snapmaker profiles
set_live_printer_agent centralizes
the swap: deselect the machine,
clear stale sidebar state and the
previous agent's Other Devices, then
install the new agent (or null when
its provider vanished). Plugin
load/unload callbacks refresh the
dropdown and re-run agent selection.
load_last_machine no longer falls
back to the first available machine.
A dedicated PrinterAgentChoice field
reads rows straight from the live
agent registry and stores the agent
id string, replacing the fake-coEnum
index mapping. The field moves to
TabPrinter and registers with the
searcher so UnsavedChanges renders
it; the PhysicalPrinterDialog copy
and its update hook are removed
(#125). switch_printer_agent now
resolves ids via
resolve_printer_agent_id.
Labels, tooltips, menu items and dialog text mixed "IDEX/IQEX" with "IMEX"
for the same feature. IMEX is now the user-facing name throughout: IDEX and
IQEX are hardware categories, IMEX is the feature spanning them. The
hardware terms remain only where they help a user tell whether the feature
applies to their printer.
Comments and log messages keep IDEX/IQEX, where the specific carriage
topology is the more precise term.
Also corrects the imex_parallel_mode tooltip, which pointed at a
"Printer -> IDEX/IQEX tab" that does not exist; the options live under
Printer -> Multimaterial -> IMEX Configuration.
None of these strings appear in any .po or the .pot, so no translation is
affected.

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).
# Description
Changing a slicing plugin's configuration had no effect on the sliced
result until you forced a re-slice some other way; it now applies
immediately. Print, printer and filament presets also keep their plugin
configuration separately, so configuring a plugin on one no longer wipes
out what you set on another.
A plugin's custom configuration page gets the same round of improvements
in both the Plugins dialog and the per-preset dialog: it follows the
app's light/dark theme, keeps its state while you edit instead of
resetting under the cursor, and can tell whether it is being edited
globally or for a preset, so "Restore defaults" can be labeled for what
it will actually do. The two bundled examples show this off — Twistify
now ships a custom configuration UI, and Inspector is themed, groups

Resolved 4 conflicts:
- PrintConfig.hpp / Preset.cpp: upstream restored calib_flowrate_topinfill_special_order
(removed in the prior merge, now re-added and re-registered); kept it alongside our
IMEX options (imex_parallel_mode, imex_head_filament_map).
- Plater.cpp: kept our <sstream> include plus upstream's <optional> and plugin includes.
- tests/fff_print/test_gcodewriter.cpp: both sides appended disjoint scenarios after a
shared base. Reconstructed as upstream's full file (base + its 3 toolchange/H2C
scenarios + the boost/filesystem include its helper needs) followed by our 10
set_pressure_advance / set_temperature scenarios. 22 scenarios total, no duplicates.
The preset option was plugin_preference_overrides while the GUI field type
that renders it was GUIType::plugin_config, for one and the same thing.
Settle on "config": the store, the dialog and the Python hooks all say config
already, so renaming that way touches 4 files instead of the whole plugin
subsystem and the public plugin API.
Keep the _overrides suffix — the option is the preset's override layer over
the base PluginConfig store, a distinction EffectiveCapabilityConfig tracks.
Also wrap the printer tab's group heading in L(); it was the only one of the
three missing it, and was therefore untranslatable.
Resolve five conflicts, all of which needed both sides rather than a pick:
- BackgroundSlicingProcess: ours was a pure tabs->spaces reformat of base, so
keep main's per-filament volume/nozzle map read-back (its only change here).
- GUI_App: main's #12506 else-if attached to an `if` this branch deleted;
re-expressed onto the same-agent early-return path (the agent factory caches
per id, so pointer equality is the same predicate).
- MainFrame: both sides relocated Sync Presets independently; keep main's
push_notification plus the branch's Plugins menu items.
- Tab: the "TODO: Orca: Support hybrid" blocks were unchanged base, not a branch
decision; take main's enabled Hybrid to match the already auto-merged siblings.
- test_config: union of both sides' cases (6 plugin + 9 multi-nozzle).
Resolved conflicts in PrintConfig.hpp and Preset.cpp. Both were adjacent to upstream's
removal of calib_flowrate_topinfill_special_order (superseded by the new
top/bottom_surface_fill_order options); took upstream's removal from the option class
and the print-options list while keeping our new IMEX options (imex_parallel_mode,
imex_head_filament_map) and the IMEX enums (ImexToolLayout, ImexVizTheme) alongside
upstream's new SurfaceFillOrder enum. The option remains in PrintConfig's legacy
ignore-set so old projects still load.
Conflicts were all co-located additions rather than design collisions:
- GCode.cpp: adopt upstream's toolchange(filament_id, nozzle_id) signature and
per-variant set_config_index() while keeping the IMEX bare-T<n> suppression;
rebase the second-layer temperature loop's non-IMEX branch onto upstream's
get_filament_config_index() resolution.
- Preset.cpp / PresetBundle.cpp / PrintConfig.cpp: keep both sides' option-list
and enum-map entries.
- GLCanvas3D.cpp: upstream's printable_heights argument plus the IMEX ghost pass.
- PartPlate.cpp: keep <set> (still used).
- test_gcodewriter.cpp / test_3mf.cpp: keep both sides' test cases.
Resolves two conflicts:
- GLCanvas3D.hpp: keep both the IMEX ghost render declarations and
upstream's _render_wireframe_overlay().
- test_gcodewriter.cpp: both sides appended test cases to the same
region; keep upstream's origin/machine-limit tests alongside the
pressure-advance and temperature scenarios.

G-code post-processing is now a step of the slicing-pipeline plugin rather than a
separate capability type. One capability class can transform slices at the geometry
seams AND edit the final G-code, behind a single picker/option.
- Add SlicingPipelineStepPlugin::psGCodePostProcess (bound as
orca.slicing.Step.psGCodePostProcess). Unlike the geometry steps it fires from the
GUI export path in PostProcessor.cpp, not from Print::process(): ctx.print/ctx.object
are None and the plugin edits the file at ctx.gcode_path in place. It may run more
than once per slice (file export and/or upload) and its output is not shown in the
preview.
- Extend SlicingPipelineContext with gcode_path/host/output_name and a C++-only
full_config; config_value() falls back to it when there is no live Print.
- PostProcessor.cpp dispatches SlicingPipelinePluginCapability at psGCodePostProcess,
driven by the existing slicing_pipeline_plugin option.
- The exported G-code lives outside data_dir(), so the plugin audit sandbox would
block the write; the trampoline's audit setup grants ctx.gcode_path's folder as a
scoped allowed root, gated on a non-empty gcode_path so the geometry-step hooks gain
no extra filesystem access.
BREAKING CHANGE: the separate G-code post-processing capability type is removed.
- orca.gcode.GCodePluginCapabilityBase and orca.PluginType.PostProcessing are gone;
post-processing plugins migrate to orca.slicing.SlicingPipelineCapabilityBase +
Step.psGCodePostProcess (and gain ctx.params / ctx.config_value()).
- The post_process_plugin config option is removed; use slicing_pipeline_plugin.
Presets carrying the old key degrade to the standard unknown-key warning.
- Manifest type = "post-processing" now maps to Unknown (advisory only; the loader
dispatches on the C++ get_type()).
Also repairs two latent build breaks the branch carried: stale Step enum value usages
in test_slicing_pipeline_hook.cpp and a reference to the removed
ConfigOptionDef::PluginType::None in Tab::on_value_change (now is_plugin_backed()).
Adds the orca_gcode_stamp sample plugin and a psGCodePostProcess binding test.
