ONLY CuraEngine.exe with Bugfixes

This is JUST the CuraEngine.exe!
NOT A FULL CURA INSTALLATION! DO NOT DOWNLOAD UNLESS YOU KNOW WHY!
You should be able to just paste the content of this zip into your Cura xmas alpha installation, replacing CuraEngine.exe and it should work.

Changes:

• Fixed Tree Support Initial Layer Diameter not working when Tree Support Rest Preference is On any flat surface
• Fixed incorrect tip placement when support pattern is ZigZag or Gyroid
• Potential Fix for Floating islands of support inside of branches.
• Fixes slicing not finishing sometimes when Limit Branch Range is active

Tree Support 2 Revision 6.0.1 Cura 5.2

Known issues:

The message unexpected slicing error at the end of the slicing progress is not because of my code. It is also present in the official version. If you encounter it, try moving the model on the buildplate until it works (for me it works better closer to (0,0), but that could be random). I also don't have a better solution.

Changes:

Fixed: Bug causing slicing to fail when slicing multiple models at the same time.

Tree Support 2 Revision 6 Cura 5.2

Known issues:

The message unexpected slicing error at the end of the slicing progress is not because of my code. It is also present in the official version. If you encounter it, try moving the model on the buildplate until it works (for me it works better closer to (0,0), but that could be random). I also don't have a better solution.

Changes:

• Added new Settings (Tree Support Limit Branch Reach, Tree Support Optimal Branch Range,Tree Support Rest Preference)
• Updated to Cura 5.2.1
• Changed some profile defaults of minimum support area and support top distance to prevent issues with my tree support.
• Changed default tip diameter 2.25*line_width*support_wall_count. Changed the support infill density for tree support to 5% to make the support easier to remove.
• Fixed bugs relating to placing support on the model.

Tree Support 2 Revision 6 Alpha Cura 5.1

This is a ALPHA Release of the TreeSupport2 Mod for Cura 5.1.

IMPORTANT: If you have used the official Cura 5.1 before OR WANT TO USE IT AFTER RUNNING THIS VERSION you NEED to delete C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\cura as cura caches definition files there!

(To my knowledge it contains nothing relevant, but better make a backup of it than be sorry).

If you dont the correct settings wont be visible, and cant be made visible!

A regular release will occur when/if i found a way to compile Cura with a custom version number again!
This pre-release only contain the version with error messages!

Updated to Cura 5.1
Fixed bugs relating to placing support on the model.
Changed some profile defaults of mininum support area and support top distance to prevent issues with my tree support.
Edit: 21.9.22: Fixed some printer profiles not working

Tree Support 2 Revision 5 Cura 5.0

Updated to Cura 5.0.
Some Bugfixes.

Tree Support 2 Revision 4.1 Cura 4.13

Fixed support resting on model not extending downwards when the surface, on which the support rests, is not flat.

Tree Support 2 Revision 4 Cura 4.13

Updated to Cura 4.13
Added Tip diameter setting
Added option to replace a part of the tips with roof (to use this feature set "Minimum support roof area" to be smaller than a circle with diameter "Tree support Tip Diameter")
Added Support interface priority setting (works only for roof when using tree support)
Added a way to trigger a demo error message to be able to distinguish the version with error messages from the one without. To trigger this demo error message set the branch diameter to exactly 4.242
Fixed some bugs encountered while implementing above settings

Tree Support 2 Revision 3.1 Cura 4.12

Improved tip placement at small overhangs.
Improved performance in some cases (e.g. small layer height).

Fixed issues with the tips not generating when the minimum x/y distance is small. Please note that no support can generate if the overhang area on each layer is closer everywhere to the model than minimum x/y distance. In other words, minimum x/y distance "overwrites" support overhang angle.
