Belt Printers, aka Printer Mills differ from normal printers in their geometry and functioning: The bed of such a printer mill, the Y direction, does move in one direction only during printing, while the printhead moves on a tilted plane in both X and Z. Models need a special slicer to be made for Belt Printers and design constraints are different due to the non-cartesian coordinate system.

What slicers have support for belt printers, or could have support added via a plugin?

I found more total slicers than I expected, since I was only…

A support/wipe function for belt printers
I'm breaking in a CR30, and the first few lines are always terrible, even after a small, short, wipe blob. Is there a function available in the belt printer slicers to add a tab, line, or really wide wipe effect to promote bed adhesion, the same…
