Its been a few weeks since my last updates in which development was mainly focused on 'arc overhang' implementation.
This was because after an initial try to implement new features into the SuperSlicer fork like Arachne, tree support and Lightning infill I found it would be cumbersome as they often use newer core libraries and need a lot of code change to get working, more than just parameter matching.
So I spent time doing things the other way around, starting with a full decked slicer and only implementing my stuff in there, adding detailed parameters from SuperSlicer and the like.
I focused first on BambuStudio as it has nice features (tree support, Arachne infill, auto orient, html-gui), but i found it cumbersome to get it to accept arc overhangs and it took me a while to get it to work nicely with bridges as well.
Just when i had something working I saw last week that prusa's new slicer was released so i went right on and tried it. And the tree support is indeed a lot nicer, it actually already can be set up to only support island overhangs, which is not the case in Bambu which will overpopulate with trees. Ofcourse some code tweaks are needed to do that well, but I have made a decision of moving Pleccer development to PrusaSlicer instead of BambuStudio.
I think the beta version of Pleccer will be released in about 1.5 week, a late half Feb. release.
It will have among a lot of other things:
Image of Pleccer with arc overhangs and small support pillars (with missing arc loops, small bug, EDIT: fixed in beta1 version):
NB. One problem I found with the new bridge/overhang printable pedestal-centered spirals is how to cope with holes or other pedestals, this next image shows the problem:
EDIT: this problem is fixed in the new beta1 version, it now always prints 100% sequentially and just jumps over the holes/pedestals.
