Since the slicing frame of a belt object starts at the belt below its
leading end, its first layers are empty. On a single part they carry
the brim bands; with several parts along the belt the later parts'
empty layers fall between the earlier parts' printing layers and were
written to the G-code as layer changes with no moves at all. The
preview numbers its layers (libvgcode::Layers) from the vertices it is
given and expects consecutive ids, so at the first such gap it stopped
creating layers and folded everything after it into the last one: the
top slider layer held nearly the whole print, the slider jumped every
other layer through the single-colour stretch before a second part on
another filament, and with the belt purge tower the whole print greyed
out while dragging.
Drop the belt layers that print nothing (no object, support or brim
content) in GCode::collect_layers_to_print, and renumber the layers
consecutively over the moves that exist when converting a result for
libvgcode, so a file with empty layers from any source still previews
correctly. The layer slider labels a belt layer with its print Z (the
slicer's layer Z, which increases along the belt) instead of libvgcode's
toolpath height, which on a tilted layer is wherever its last extrusion
ended; the slider assumes that list increases and showed "0 / max" on
alternate layers. The processor reads that print Z from the ";Z:" tag
non-BBL printers write (it only knew "; Z_HEIGHT:"), on belt printers
only, so nothing changes elsewhere. Regression test: two cubes 60 mm apart along the
belt produce no layer without an extrusion and the header's layer count
matches.

The "Show raw G-code (belt only)" toggle, retired in #16236, returns as
an item of the Preview canvas view menu (with its B shortcut), and only
there: no legend checkbox. Unlit, the preview shows the designed,
upright view; lit, the raw machine-frame G-code, which is what to look
at when checking the machine frame transforms. The toggle is view
only; exported G-code is the same either way.

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.

load_as_gcode() skips the conversion and GPU upload when it is handed the
result it already shows, but belt printers were exempt from that cache,
because the designed/raw view changes the toolpath geometry for the same
result. So every preview reload of a belt print, switching back to the
Preview tab for one, converted and uploaded every toolpath again.
Remember the view the result was converted for and reuse it while both
match. Toggling the view (B, the legend checkbox, the toolbar menu) still
converts again. The print config the back-transform reads cannot change
without a new G-code result, so the result id covers it as it does on any
other printer.
Suggested by raistlin7447 on #14394.
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.
Five commits: a section view for the 3D canvas, a faster G-code preview, user
preset values kept on extruder variants they don't list, debug build CMake
fixes, and a 30 minute timeout on macOS notarization.
Two conflicts, both in GLCanvas3D. The header's were neighboring
declarations, kept from both sides. In the transparent pass, the section view
removed the assemble view's painter block that followed our ghost render;
the ghost render stays where it was, at the end of that pass.

Seven commits: painted multi-material segmentation made deterministic, missing

Three conflicts, all include lists: upstream's include pass and ours each added

* Add Missing Includes Across src/slic3r/GUI
Every GUI 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, plus one hand edit making CalibrationPanel.hpp self-contained.
* Drop the OS-Specific Includes Added Outside Their Platform Guards
GLib, GTK, D-Bus and POSIX headers are only used inside platform #if blocks, which already include them. Added unconditionally at the top of the file they broke the Windows build.
* Add the clang-tidy Configuration That Generated These Includes
Only misc-include-cleaner's missing-include check, with the headers it must never suggest: per-platform, internal and OS-specific ones that would break other platforms or are not meant to be included directly.
* Match Windows Paths in the clang-tidy Ignore List
Header paths use backslashes on Windows, so every / in a pattern is now [/\\]. The Windows SDK headers are ignored alongside the other OS-specific ones, and the list is one pattern per line. Suggested by @raistlin7447 from a Windows clang-cl run.
Multi-material previews now open in Filament view, where toolpaths are coloured
by the filament printing them, and a marker carrying a fixed palette colour can
sit on toolpaths of that same colour. The plan already resolves which physical
head each carriage is, so in that view every carriage - the primary marker
included - takes its head's filament colour, from the accessor the ghosts
restamp themselves with, and marker, ghost and toolpath agree on what is loaded
where. The primary marker is the one every preview draws, so it goes back to its
own colour when no parallel mode is active.
Every other view keeps the Okabe-Ito palette, which is what identifies the
carriages when colour means something else, and so does a head whose filament
does not resolve. Each head is resolved once per frame and shared by its marker
and its toolhead box, the way the ghosts already hoist the map they all read.

The estimate no longer reports a tower for a single filament whose flush matrix
purges, so the comments that justify calling prime_tower_is_printed() instead of
reading a depth now cite what still holds: it reads neither enable_prime_tower
nor print_sequence. GCodeViewer's comments name render_scene(), the function
that replaced the render() they still pointed at, and the pass contract mentions
the toolhead boxes it draws.

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.
Five sites carried a hardcoded fallback for imex_tools_per_gantry that had
to match the value registered in print_config_def, with nothing enforcing
the agreement, and several explanatory comments miscounted the sites they
described or cited stale line numbers.
Add imex_cfg_int/_float/_bool/_enum<T> to IMEXHelpers, which return the
value registered for the key when it is absent from the config, so the
registration is the single source and there is nothing left to keep in
sync. Route every read of the IMEX geometry keys through them: 32 call
sites across IMEXZones, PartPlate, GCodeViewer and Tab. The only direct
lookup left is the bail in PartPlate::imex_multicolor_block_reason, which
must not default because it reports a routing conflict and a defaulted
grid would produce a false warning.
imex_cfg_enum uses dynamic_cast on both halves rather than the type()
comparison the others use: every ConfigOptionEnum<T> reports coEnum, so a
type() check cannot tell one enum type from another and would cast a
ConfigOptionEnum<OtherEnum> to the requested T. The ConfigOptionPercent :
ConfigOptionFloat inheritance that rules dynamic_cast out for the float
accessor has no analogue for enums.
Correct the comments that prompted this: the cache-key input list in
PartPlate named five inputs for a nine-part key, the ImexMarkerKey note
in GCodeViewer called imex_tool_layout an input only the preview reads
when the plate keys it too, and four file:line citations pointed at the
wrong lines. Values are unchanged at every converted site; cache key
strings keep their existing representation.

Closes review comment 17.
GCodeViewer had its own copy of the flip_x/flip_y corner mapping, the active
column/row sets, the physical-to-zone index mapping and the zone pitch -- the same
derivation as the plate's, with nothing keeping the two in step. It now calls
compute_imex_zone_layout() and consumes head_zone_centers. The mirror is expressed
as a reflection about the midpoint of the two zone centres rather than about a
zone-relative strip width, which is algebraically identical for equal-sized zones
and needs no pitch, and the toolhead-box face is chosen by comparing zone centres
instead of physical columns.
The July report of a math error in the visualizer for non-primary heads was this
drift: the sec_box_offset_y else-branch hardcoded -imex_box_wy, which happened to
equal the primary's offset on the rear-* layouts and pointed the wrong way on the
front-* ones. Structurally unreachable now.
Verifying the two sides matched turned up two config defaults that disagreed, both
fixed in their own commits: imex_nozzle_clearance_x/y (the viewer's 30.0f matched
PrintConfig, the zone code's 0.0 did not, and the strip loops are gated on it) and
imex_tools_per_gantry (the library's 2 matched, both GUI paths used 1).
Consuming the shared function meant resolving it per frame, and the sequential-view
marker flag is sticky, so one drag of the slider made every subsequent frame parse
five strings and allocate a dozen containers from inputs that never change. The
resolve now sits behind a cache key mirroring PartPlate::build_imex_cache_key(),
plus the two inputs only the preview reads -- the bed extents and the tool layout.
An idle frame compares scalars and allocates nothing. The toolhead-box mesh, which
was being re-uploaded to the GPU every frame for the same reason, is rebuilt only
when the clearances change.

build: clear 54 dead private fields
54 of the 161 -Wunused-private-field warnings, across 31 files. These are
the ones needing no judgment. Each member is declared once and appears
nowhere else in src/, counting the .mm and .c sources as well as .cpp and
.hpp, so nothing writes them and nothing reads them. Every removal is a
whole line, and no declaration shares a line with another member.
The remaining 107 are left alone. Those members are mentioned elsewhere,
usually assigned and never read, where the fix might be deleting the
member or might be restoring a read that went missing.
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).
Catches the iXex/IDEX parallel-printing branch up to upstream main
(102 commits). Two content conflicts resolved:
- src/libslic3r/Preset.cpp: s_Preset_printer_options — kept upstream's
new "use_3mf" key and our iMEX printer-capability/mode keys.
- tests/fff_print/test_gcodewriter.cpp: upstream revived the disabled
suite (#14196), dropping the obsolete [.]-tagged lift() test and its
config_lift_unlift.ini; kept their set_speed + z_hop tests and appended
our 10 per-firmware set_pressure_advance/set_temperature scenarios.

On a belt printer the emitted G-code is in the machine frame (45-deg sheared,
axis-remapped, scaled), so the toolpath preview shows the print as a sheared
slab floating off the bed. Map each toolpath vertex back to model/Cartesian
space for the "designed" view.
The back-transform is the inverse of the full G-code forward pipeline
(BeltGCodeWriter::to_machine_coords):
model = [BeltForward^-1 if !gcode_back_transform] . AxisRemap^-1 . MachineFrame^-1
built from config, so it handles any rotation / shear / scale / axis-remap
combination, not just plain 45-deg belt slicing. Computed in load_as_gcode()
from print.config() and applied per-vertex inside libvgcode::convert (display
position only; layer_id, times and the volumetric/flow math keep the raw
machine values, so the layer slider and stats are unaffected).
- Toggle with the existing "Show designed view" checkbox / hotkey B; off shows
the raw machine-frame G-code (useful for debugging the transform itself).
Defaults to on.
- Belt printers skip the same-result-id load cache so the upright view applies
and the toggle takes effect even when the G-code is unchanged.
- The object extrusions (layer_id >= 1) are anchored to the belt entry to drop
the constant machine-origin offset (start-G-code belt advance) that the linear
back-transform alone does not capture; start-G-code prime lines are excluded
so they don't steal the anchor.
fix: apply smart preview defaults per extruder count session
- Track last extruder count (1=single, 2+=multi) instead of boolean flag
- Apply appropriate default (ColorPrint/FeatureType) when count changes
- User selections persist within same extruder count
- Symmetric behavior: both single and multi actively apply defaults
- Delete duplicate dead code block (uncommented TODO scaffolding)
Behavior:
- First slice (any type) → appropriate default
- User changes view → persists on re-slice
- Switch single→single or multi→multi → persists
- Switch single↔multi → appropriate default applies
Includes nozzle-diameter guards for printers without nozzle info (#13255,
now landed upstream) and manual-calibration nozzle mismatch fix (#13882).

* feat(viewer): Display travel distance and move count in G-code summary
This commit introduces a new feature that enhances the G-code viewer by displaying the total travel distance and the total number of travel moves in the 'Line Type' summary.
This provides users with more detailed statistics about their prints, helping them to better understand the printer's behavior and identify opportunities to optimize travel moves for faster print times.
This commit also fixes a critical bug in the G-code processor where the travel distance was being calculated incorrectly. The distance variable was not being updated for non-extruding travel moves, leading to inaccurate statistics. The calculation has been corrected to ensure it is performed for all relevant move types, resulting in accurate travel distance reporting.
* Subfix segments
kilo mega giga tera peta exa
* Add missing values
* Grams to Kilos and tons
* add distance
* Fix tool view
* Record and display seam distances
Track seam-related distances in print statistics and show them in the GCode viewer. Added total_seam_gap_distance and total_seam_scarf_distance to PrintEstimatedStatistics (with initialization). In GCode::extrude_loop the code now computes seam gap and scarf distances and accumulates them for external perimeters. GCodeViewer uses the summed seam distance when the Seams option is selected in the legend.
* Fix travel / wipe distances
* Update GCode.cpp
* Filament changes estimated time

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 legend hover hit-testing
Fix GCode viewer legend where the eye icon and right edge don’t respond to hover/click unless you click slightly left (works after switching view types unless the vertical slide is used).
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
- 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

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
- Implement per-object global shear transform in PrintObject with
layer Z-offset calculation, config invalidation, and fix for
shared-object layer optimization breaking copied objects
- Clip support layers to the transformed belt floor plane and begin
work on tree support adaptation for sheared coordinate space
- Improve belt UI: gray out inactive sub-options, add B keyboard
shortcut for G-code viewer design-view toggle, fix mesh clipping
through build plate after shear/scale transform
y' = y + z·cot(α),
while x' = x and z' = z
getting closer to customizable variant
getting closer
X/Y/Z shear initial
clean up UI
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,
simplifying the pipeline to pure shear matrices while preserving the
default behavior (Y += Z*cot(45deg) with identity remap)
- 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.
