Slicing error 'Coordinate outside allowed range' with sparse gyroid infill and fill_aligned_z

[mozotech]

What happened?

Slicing a simple box shape (30x60x15mm) generates an error ‘Coordinate outside allowed range’ when using gyroid for sparse infill with ‘aligned’ (fill_aligned_z) enabled. The problem also occurs with both of the honeycomb infills. (Problem does not occur with any infill pattern except gyroid, honeycomb and £D honeycomb). When sparse infill aligned is not selected the error does not occur.

Running SuperSlicer on Mac OSX 13.6.6 (22G630)

Used a clean installation of Superslicer (deleted and removed /Applications/SuperSlicer.app, ~/Library/Application Support/SuperSlicer, ~/Library/Preferences/org.SuperSlicer)
Installed SuperSlicer_2.5.59.9_2024-04-30
Used configuration assistant to configure for ‘Creality Ender-3 BLTouch’
Used unmodified System Presets
Print Settings: 0.20mm NORMAL
Filament Settings: Reality PLA
Printer Settings: Creality Ender-3 BLTouch 0.4mm

Problem occurs with latest successful nightly build ‘SuperSlicer_2.5.59.9_2024-03-22’ and produces a more informative error message

Project file & How to reproduce

To reproduce the error clear all remnaments of any previous SuperSlicer install.

can't see the zip file.

Added missing zip file (hopefully)

[supermerill]

can't reproduce on windows, maybe a mac-only issue. will try on linux before.

Can reproduce as well on a M1 Mac Studio trying both the ARM and Rosetta versions. Reverted back to 2.5.59.7 and no issues.

Steps to repro:

1. Blank canvass
2. Attempt to create a simple box sized 30x30x3 mm
3. Attempt to slice -> will see error.

However if you try doing a 30x30x2 mm sized box, it will slice fine. Possible related to layer height? I haven't tested that theory but worth trying it out.

I understand where it crash: in the only intersection_pl call, as it's a clipper library error.
but I don't understand why it crash only on macos.
This intersection_pl call is also extensively used for overhangs detection:
can you try to slice a becnhy with various overhangs_width_speed and overhangs_width (like 50% -100%, then 100% - 200%, then 25%-150% ....)
(without gyroid infill, use rectilinear)

If you manage to crash it with overhangs, then I know what fix to revert as a stop-gap.

Will in the AM and advise.

Problem does not occur when sparse_infill is changed from Gyroid to Rectilinear (using SuperSlicer_2.5.59.10_2024-05-21, intel Mac Ventura 13.6.7) and setting permutations listed below. Benchy sliced successfully with all of them

Bridge Speed and Fan: (overhangs_width_speed)	Bridge Flow: (overhangs_width)
25%	50%
50%	50%
100%	50%
125%	50%
25%	100%
50%	100%
100%	100%

will be hard to solve.

Apologies for the delay - life, lol. I've taken a cue from mozotech and also can confirm that on the arm version, Gyroid fails. But I've gone a step further and the following infills all fail:

• Honeycomb
• 3D Honeycomb
• Gyroid

I've tried the three above with different permutations of overhangs_width_speed and overhangs_width (as a negative test) and they all fail regardless of the combination; the other infill options all seem to work fine.

[Icenowy]

Failed on a self-built Linux build, with gyroid/honeycomb infill.

I'm running SuperSlicer 2.5.59.10 inside GDB, and when the error pops up, I found the FillParams struct has max_sparse_infill_spacing as 140735984, which is quite weird.
