What's new
- Single wave-overhang algorithm (#75). Removed the Kaiser/LaSO algorithm and the algorithm selector entirely. Wave overhangs now ships as one algorithm with no algorithm names in the UI, tooltips, or docs. Profiles that referenced Kaiser fall back automatically. Breaking: the
wave_overhang_algorithmandwave_overhang_ring_overlapconfig keys are gone. - Floor-layer speed ramp (#82). New
wave_overhang_floor_speed_rampeases the floor-layer speed overrides back to normal over N layers instead of snapping at one boundary, to spread out warping stress. - Aux fan override for wave-overhang regions (#64). New
wave_overhang_aux_fan_speedandwave_overhang_floor_aux_fan_speedlet the auxiliary / chamber fan run at its own percentage during wave extrusions, independently of the printhead fan. For example 0% printhead + 100% aux, to cut the thermal gradient near the nozzle. Defaults to off, and only applies on printers that report an auxiliary fan. - Bambu Lab X2D support (#81). Added the X2D printer profile (machine, filament, process presets), ported from upstream OrcaSlicer.
- Gcode now accepted by more printer firmware (#79, #89). Two separate problems in the gcode header. The generator line now reads
OrcaSlicer 2.4.0-WaveOverhangsinstead ofOrcaSlicer-WaveOverhangs, and the fork'sWAVE_OVERHANG_*debug keys have moved out of theHEADER_BLOCKregion that firmware parses. Both caused printers to reject files outright: the Snapmaker U1 as "Invalid gcode", the Flashforge AD5X as "No filament detected". Also fixes the cropped splash screen. - Missing solid infill above angled wave overhangs (#71). On an angled overhang (the inside of a bored hole, for instance), the layers above the wave came out hollow, leaving a void in the part. Straight 90° overhangs were unaffected. The floor-layer pass now decides per-spot how far each point sits above a wave strip, so the layers above get their solid infill back.
- Linux AppImage opens on Mint and clean Ubuntu (#70). The AppImage expected
libwebpdecoder3to already be installed and failed to start without it. That library is now bundled.
