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.
* make initial layer travel move acceleration and jerk configurable
* Update spelling to match UI pattern

Reduce the size of current and new JSONs by standardising them with 1 tab indentation instead of 4 spaces.
This effectively reduces the size by almost 20 MB.

Used [JQ](https://jqlang.org/) `--tab` to automatically format every current JSON.
> [!NOTE]
> Some profiles had the arrays on the same line, but those created by Orca were in the standard format (each object below the previous one). In some cases, this increases the number of tabs due to the new lines, but the increase is negligible, and this way both the base profiles and those created by Orca maintain the same style.
- 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.

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

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

I'm pretty sure we've completely lost the plot at this point and need to restart this process...
remove slice logic in preparation for new, more invasive plan
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.
The WipeTower2 code path never called construct_mesh(), leaving
wipe_tower_mesh_data as std::nullopt. GCode export then dereferenced
it unconditionally, triggering an assertion failure / crash.
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.
Sorry had to re-create the PR as I did some chaos in my repo with CLI. xD
Fixes issue https://github.com/OrcaSlicer/OrcaSlicer/issues/10971
Description:
Fix wipe tower filament selection and clean up tool ordering. Added wipe_tower_filament handling to WipeTower2 (store config, mark non-selected tools as “soluble,” and use it in toolchange selection) and ensured the configured wipe‑tower extruder is included in the extruder list for ordering. Removed duplicated/merged tool‑ordering code (extra insert_wipe_tower_extruder definition, duplicate declaration, and redundant reorder block) so the tool order logic runs only once.

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.
### What was the issue?
The check that validates whether a filament is compatible with the selected build plate type was only executed for Bambu Lab printers.
Other printers skipped this entirely, even though they can also use multiple plate types with different temperature requirements.
This caused cases where:
- incompatible filament/plate combinations went unnoticed,
- users received no warning even when the bed type clearly couldn’t support the selected filament.
### What’s changed?
- The validation block extends beyond BambuLab printers.
- Now all printers get the same compatibility check:
- if a filament requires a bed temperature not supported by the chosen plate,
- Orca shows the same clear error message as it does for BBL printers.
- Show the selected filament preset name (alias if present) in bed/filament mismatch warnings instead of substituting the parent preset.
### Why this helps
- Consistent behavior across all printer brands.
- Prevents invalid filament/plate setups that could cause print failures.
- Makes plate presets more robust and predictable for custom and community printers.
### Notes
- No behavior changes for BBL printers — they keep the existing checks.
- Other printers now benefit from them too.
