Refactored PerimeterGenerator for functional style, better constness
with the goal of calling PerimeterGenerator::process_xxx()
for each surface at once to collect its fill expolygons.
That allows computed better values in cases when the extrusion width of the first layer or for the infill differs from the extrusion width for perimeters.
Parameters min_feature_size and wall_transition_length now can be set in percentages, and then they will be calculated based on nozzle size. Old profiles with default values are forced to replace old default values with new default values in percentages.
The previous behavior didn't merge two ExtrusionPaths with the same extrusion width, and it also could merge two ExtrusionPaths with different widths, which was unintentional, and it could also possibly create visible artifacts in some cases.
Because simplification of ExtrusionLoop in GCode::extrude_loop is working on ExtrusionPath and not on whole ExtrusionLoop, so previous incorrect behavior was preventing simplification and removing small extrusions like in #8455.
for offset2() with clear meaning.
New ClipperUtils functions: expand(), shrink() as an alternative
for offset() with clear meaning.
All offset values for the new functions are positive.
Various offsetting ClipperUtils (offset, offset2, offset2_ex) working
over Polygons were marked as unsafe, sometimes producing invalid output
if called for more than one polygon. These functions were reworked
to offset polygons one by one. The new functions working over Polygons
shall work the same way as the old safe ones working over ExPolygons,
but working with Polygons shall be computationally more efficient.
Improvements in FDM support generator:
1) For both grid and snug supports: Don't filter out supports for which
the contacts are completely reduced by support / object XY separation.
2) Rounding / merging of supports using the closing radius parameter is
now smoother, it does not produce sharp corners.
3) Snug supports: When calculating support interfaces, expand the projected
support contact areas to produce wider, printable and more stable interfaces.
4) Don't reduce support interfaces for snug supports for steep overhangs,
that would normally not need them. Snug supports often produce very
narrow support interface regions and turning them off makes the support
interfaces disappear.
Fixes Solid infill where there should be none #6482
Also the safety offsetting was revised to be enabled only where needed,
the "do safety offset" is now easy to discover by
a new ApplySafetyOffset::Yes enum, and safety offset over union, which
is better done by offset() / offset_ex() has been replaced with
new union_safety_offset() / union_safety_offset_ex() functions, which
better convey their meaning and which could be better optimized than
union() with the safety offset applied.
Based on pull request Experimental fuzzy skin mode #4611 by @etet100
and on CuraEngine implementation of perimeter fuzzyfication
void FffPolygonGenerator::processFuzzyWalls(SliceMeshStorage& mesh)
(non-spiral vase layers) were being closed.
Fixes Bad slicing in vase mode (unexpected bridge and solid infill layers) #3326
Fixes Model with holes in the base does not slice properly in "Vase Mode" #5359
Fixed some issues in internal anchors of the Adaptive Cubic infill.
The ugly and dangerous implicit casting operators in Line, MultiPoint,
Polyline and Polygon were made explicit.
Fixes Connecting / expanding Bottom Layers to Vase Perimeter #253
Fixes Slicing error in vase mode #452
Fixes Slicing Issue (Vase Mode, 0.6mm dmr nozzle) #1887
Fixes Top fill pattern isn't used in spiral vase mode #2533
Fixes Cisar's vase doesn't slice correctly, creates artefacts #3595
When the model is sliced, all the contours are newly oriented
counter-clockwise (even holes), merged and then only the largest area
contour is retained. In perimeter generator, if the largest contour
splits into multiple perimeters, newly only the largest area perimeter
is retained in spiral vase mode. These two changes solve #3595 and similar.
The infill is newly calculated only for the bottom solid layers
if the spiral vase mode is active (removes various unwanted infill
along the vase walls), and the last bottom solid layer is switched
to a top solid pattern (solves #2533).
The thin walls are newly enforced to be disabled in spiral vase mode,
and the "ensure vertical shell wall" is enforced in spiral vase mode
to extend the bottom of the vase to the vase hull (fixes#253).
producing better shortest path estimate than the "closest next neighbor"
heuristics. The new greedy algorithm utilizes KD tree for closest
end point search, and builds a graph to detect loops.
PerimeterGenerator newly uses the optimized TSP algorithm.
ExtrusionEntity has been refactored / simplified.
