The README callout and the #2843 changelog entries described what Bambu
Studio does without saying it is tracked anywhere, so a reader had no
way to follow it. Both now link bambulab/BambuStudio#10481.
The #2843 entry also still blamed H2-series and P2S firmware for
keeping sliced files internally. That was the reading before measuring
it: the same printers archive in full when sliced in OrcaSlicer, so the
destination is the slicer's choice, not the printer's. Corrected here
rather than left to mislead, since 1.2.6b1 is unreleased.
(#2780 regression)
A print of a file already on the printer -- a reprint from the
touchscreen, from Handy, or a slicer send-to-storage followed by a print
-- reports its location as a path rather than as a fresh upload:
file:///media/usb0/<name>. Since #2780 landed on 2026-08-14 Bambuddy read
anything that was not ftp:// as "the printer kept this internally",
skipped the FTPS sweep, and archived the print with a name and timing
only. Measured on an H2D: the file was listable and downloadable over
FTPS at the moment Bambuddy declared it unreachable. Before that change
those prints archived normally, so this is a regression, and it is not
confined to the H2 series the change was about -- an X1C reprint from its
own screen loses its thumbnail exactly the same way.
That module's own rule is to skip only on positive evidence, and a
file:// path is not evidence of internal storage. It now reads the path:
the printer's model cache under /userdata is a genuine skip, anything
else is unknown and sweeps, which is what it did before. Unknown rather
than external on purpose -- the empty-slot check still runs ahead of it,
so a file:// print on a printer with nothing in the slot reports the
missing card instead of sweeping for something that cannot be there.
The user-facing copy shipped this morning is corrected in the same
change, because it was written before we understood how Bambu Studio
actually chooses. Its Print button always uses internal memory; only Send
offers Cache or External, and that defaults to Cache too. So the advice
now leads with the two routes that take one step -- start the print from
Bambuddy, or slice in OrcaSlicer -- and offers Send-with-External and a
separate print start as the way to stay in Bambu Studio. The earlier
wording named no remedy at all and blamed the printer's firmware for a
choice the slicer makes. Banner and diagnostic, thirteen locales, README,
bundle rebuilt.
Optional and off by default, toggled under Settings -> Appearance. When enabled, the browser tab shows the soonest-finishing print's percentage plus a green progress-ring favicon, updated live over the existing WebSocket. The preference is stored per-browser in localStorage.
Adds the usePrintProgressTitle hook (with tests), a ThemeContext preference, the Settings toggle, i18n strings for all locales, and a README entry.
The Ukrainian locale was authored before #2622 landed and merged dev in
without picking up the five slice.designSettings* keys that came with it, so
check:i18n failed at 5675 leaves against en's 5680. This is invisible on the
PR because ci.yml only triggers for pull requests targeting main, and this one
targets dev - the only checks that ran were the security workflow's.
Adds the five missing keys, following the file's own convention of rendering
"designer" as "автора" as it already does in slice.useEmbeddedHint.
Two values were still English and the parity gate could not see them, because
check 4 only fires on leaves byte-identical to en: profiles.localProfiles.
pressureAdvance and inventory.paProfileTab both read "Pressure Advance (PA)"
where en has "Pressure Advance" and "PA Profile". The added "(PA)" was enough
to walk past the equality test. Both are now translated, the second as a tab
label matching the Russian. Inline mentions of the term in profiles.subtitle
and kProfilesDescription stay in English, which is what ru does too.
failureDetection.mlUrl is translated rather than allow-listed, and the dead
'{{weight}} г' entry is dropped from UK_COGNATES - that list matches against
the English value, so an entry spelled in Ukrainian could never fire, and
since the unit is now localized no entry is needed at all.
Four straight apostrophes normalized to the typographic form used by the
other 186 in the file. Locale count in the README and the two wiki pages
corrected from 11 to 13; it had already been wrong, omitting Russian.
Native (non-Docker) installs launched uvicorn without --loop asyncio, so
uvicorn[standard] auto-selected uvloop. uvloop's SSL layer drops
already-received but still-buffered data when the client closes the data
connection without a TLS close_notify while the reader is flow-control
paused on slow storage. cmd_STOR writes each chunk to disk inside the read
loop, so a slow consumer falls behind, the tail is lost, read() returns a
clean EOF, and the loop exits with no exception -- the server acked 226 for
a file it truncated itself, then archived, queued, and forwarded the corrupt
3MF to the real printer.
Fix in two independent layers:
1. Remove the trigger: add --loop asyncio to every native launch path,
matching the Dockerfile -- deploy/bambuddy.service, install/install.sh
(systemd + launchd), spoolbuddy/install/install.sh, the Windows NSSM
service, README, CONTRIBUTING dev command.
2. Defense in depth (loop-independent): cmd_STOR now validates that a
received .3mf opens as a ZIP (reads the central directory, no
decompression) before replying 226. A truncated/corrupt file is dropped
and answered with 426, and on_file_received never runs -- so a broken
upload surfaces as an immediate slicer-side send error instead of being
archived and pushed to the printer. Scoped to .3mf; other filetypes pass
through unchanged.
New scheduler stage that heats the bed (and the chamber, on supported
printers) and holds at temperature before each queued print starts —
the heat-soak engineering filaments need for adhesion and warp
control. Bambuddy waits between FTP upload and start_print, so the
soak runs while the printer is otherwise idle. M191 is silently
ignored by Bambu firmware, so doing this at the orchestration layer
is the only place it works.
Resolution order at dispatch:
1. PrintQueueItem.preheat_override ∈ {inherit, on, off}.
'off' skips entirely; 'inherit' falls back to the global
preheat_enabled toggle; 'on' forces the stage even when the
global is off.
2. chamber_target = item.preheat_chamber_target_override
?? max(filament_map[normalize(t.tray_type)] for loaded slots)
?? 0.
Mixed PA+PLA picks PA's 50 (max-across-slots — PA's chamber
requirement is binding, PLA doesn't suffer being warm). PLA-only
derives 0 and skips the chamber phase automatically.
3. Three hardware tiers for chamber heat:
- Active chamber heater (H2C/H2D/H2D Pro/H2S/X2D/X1E) → M141 +
chamber-sensor wait
- Chamber sensor only (X1C/P2S) → no M141, passive bed-radiation
wait with hard max-wait cap
- No chamber sensor (P1S/P1P/A1/A1 Mini) → bed + soak timer only
4. Airduct flap (H2C/H2D/H2D Pro/H2S/X2D/P2S) auto-switches to
match the chamber target — heating mode for engineering
filaments, cooling mode for PLA. Bambu firmware does NOT
auto-switch the flap with M141, so without this an ABS print
on a previously-cooling flap fights the open exhaust, and a
PLA print on a previously-hot flap recirculates ABS heat.
Idempotent: only fires set_airduct_mode when current ≠ desired.
Settings → Workflow → Queue & Dispatch → Preheat & Heat Soak card:
master enable toggle (default off — disabled installs see no change),
per-filament chamber-target editor (replaces a single global int that
shipped in the first cut and couldn't serve PA + PLA in the same
config), preheat_max_wait_seconds, preheat_soak_seconds. The Print
Options panel in PrintModal gets a Preheat sub-section with the
tri-state Inherit/On/Off control and an optional chamber-target
override input.
DB migration: PrintQueueItem gains preheat_override VARCHAR(10)
DEFAULT 'inherit' and preheat_chamber_target_override INTEGER NULL.
Idempotent via _safe_execute. Existing rows behave exactly as before
the migration.
Best-effort throughout: printer drops, refused M141 or set_airduct,
missing bed temp, lost MQTT state mid-wait all log and return cleanly.
Normal upload + start path runs after this returns regardless.
Continue Auto-Drying while a print is running on capable hardware.
New Settings > Print Queue > "Continue drying while printing" toggle
(default OFF). Extends _check_auto_drying in print_scheduler.py to
evaluate running printers when supports_drying_while_printing(model,
firmware) returns true. Strict allowlist verified per Bambu wiki
release notes for "Print While Drying" / "printing while filament is
drying": H2D 01.03.00.00+, H2C/H2S/P2S/H2D Pro 01.02.00.00+, X2D/A2L
01.01.00.00+, X1C 01.11.02.00+. P1*, A1, A1 Mini, X1 (non-C), X1E
intentionally excluded. Mid-print drying temperature is capped at
max(40, preset_temp - 5) to protect spools from heat damage inside the
hot enclosure during a print, matching Bambu's own "lower drying
temperature during printing" guidance.
Rotate-spool toggle in the drying popover is now disabled when any tray
in the targeted AMS has filament threaded into the feed tube
(tray.state === 11). The whole AMS rotates as one mechanism, so a
single loaded slot locks the entire unit. Previously the toggle was
always clickable and the firmware rejected with dry_sf_reason=[3]
(ConsumableAtAmsOutlet) after the click. The first cut keyed on the
printer-level tray_now but missed the H2D's typical post-print state
where tray_now resets to 255 while filament stays in the tube — the
per-tray state field reports it correctly. Submission also clamps
rotateTray off so a stale-true state from a previous AMS can't leak
through.
Backend: supports_drying_while_printing in printer_manager.py covers
display names and internal SSDP/MQTT codes (O1D, O1E/O2D, O1C/O1C2,
O1S, N6, BL-P001, N7, N9). New print_drying_enabled boolean in
settings schema. Frontend: toggle on SettingsPage, gate + clamp on
PrintersPage drying popover using existing amsData cache. i18n: 3 new
keys x 11 locales, no English fallback. Tests: 7 cases on the gate
matrix (TestSupportsDryingWhilePrinting), 4 cases on the scheduler
mid-print path (TestMidPrintDrying), 9 cases on the rotate gate state
transitions. Full backend pytest -n 30 green (4251/4251), ruff clean,
frontend npm run build clean, i18n parity 5355 leaves per locale.
Operator-flipped out-of-service state per printer for three scenarios:
parallel Bambuddy installs (dev + prod where the printer rejects all
but one MQTT client), printers under repair, and temporary suspension.
The backend Printer.is_active gate has shipped since day one and is
already honoured by every consumer — MQTT (printer_manager), queue
dispatch (print_scheduler, print_queue), metrics, scheduler, picker,
backup, maintenance dashboard. The missing piece was UI exposure.
Three entry points to flip is_active:
- Three-dot overflow menu (Enter / Exit maintenance mode, wrench icon)
- Exit button inside the in-card amber panel
- Checkbox in EditPrinterModal
Card UI: expanded mode shows an amber panel (Wrench + "In Maintenance"
+ subtitle + Exit) where the cover/progress container would normally
render — same height, no layout shift. Compact mode shows an amber
pill in place of the progress bar. Header pill swaps Connected/Offline
for "Maintenance" and the diagnostic CTA is suppressed (deliberate
state, not involuntary offline). HMS / Queue / Firmware pills fall
away naturally via the existing status?.connected gates.
Mid-print entry (RUNNING / PAUSE) triggers a confirmation dialog —
disconnecting MQTT mid-print stops progress tracking and completion
notifications for the in-flight job. Idle / FINISH / FAILED skip the
dialog and toggle directly.
Scope: no backend change, no new permission, no behaviour change for
any other consumer. PrinterCreate.is_active?: boolean added to the
TypeScript surface so the field flows through api.updatePrinter.
New PrinterSensorHistory table + 60s recorder + GET/DELETE /printer-sensor-history
route gated behind a new PRINTER_SENSOR_HISTORY_READ scope (separate from AMS). UI
adds a 10x10 LineChart icon on each heater tile - click body opens the existing
target-temp popover unchanged, click icon opens a HeaterHistoryModal mirroring the
AMSHistoryModal shape (kind toggle + 6h/24h/48h/7d range + current/avg/min/max +
recharts line for value + dashed target). Read-only X1C/P2S chamber tile finally
gets an interaction. Retention configurable via printer_sensor_history_retention_days
(default 30, sibling of ams_history_retention_days). 8 new i18n keys translated in
all 11 locales, parity green. 4 backend + 6 frontend tests added; full pytest -n 30

PR #1529 added the Windows installer but the rendered README sections

Re-slicing a 3MF authored for a single-nozzle printer (X1C, P1S, A1, P2S)
onto a dual-nozzle printer (H2D / H2D Pro) — or vice versa — previously
failed with "G-code in unprintable area of multi-extruder printers" (the
source's bed-coordinate layout lands in the H2D's per-nozzle dead zone)
or, on multi-color projects, a hard SIGSEGV inside the slicer's ZFiller
polygon-clipping. Earlier shipped a fail-fast 400 guard; this drop lifts
it and actually does the conversion by forwarding the sidecar's existing
--arrange flag when the source and target nozzle classes differ. BS
itself reconciles the embedded project_settings.config against the new
printer that way, the same way the GUI's "Switch Printer" operation
does. The guard becomes a kept-for-compat no-op.
Slice-all-plates added to the SliceModal: a checkbox for multi-plate
sources sends plate=0 to the backend, which forwards --slice 0 to the
BS CLI. Same-class slice-all produces one multi-plate output 3MF in a
single sidecar call. Cross-class slice-all loops per plate (BS's
--arrange is project-wide and would otherwise consolidate every plate's
objects onto one bed) and merges the per-plate outputs into one
multi-plate 3MF locally via the new merge_plate_3mfs helper. The toast
shows "Plate 2 of 5 — Generating G-code (47%)" through the loop.
Three side fixes surfaced during testing:
- substitute_unused_plate_filaments overwrites unused-slot filaments
with the slot-1 selection before slicing so BS's loaded-filament
temperature validator doesn't reject a PLA print whose unused slot 2
defaulted to ABS in the dropdown
- re-sliced archive thumbnail now prefers the source's per-plate
render (Metadata/plate_N.png) over the project-wide MakerWorld cover
art, because BS CLI with --arrange skips writing a fresh per-plate
preview
- re-sliced archive bed_type now lifts from the sliced output's
curr_bed_type onto the PrintArchive column the card actually reads
Schema: SliceRequest.plate range relaxed from ge=1 to ge=0 to admit
the "all plates" sentinel; SlicerApiService.slice_with_profiles /
slice_with_bundle take an `arrange` parameter.
Tests: 26 in test_slicer_3mf_convert (count / merge / substitute /
extract), 3 in test_slicer_api (arrange wire format), 9 in
test_library_slice_api (guard no-op, bed_type lift, thumbnail
fallback, new cross-class slice-all loop integration test), 2 in
test_archive_service (Auxiliaries fallback), 4 in SliceModal.test
(plate=0 toggle), 2 in SliceJobTrackerContext.test (multi-plate toast
prefix). 659 backend + 42 frontend green; backend ruff clean,
frontend build clean, i18n parity green at 4984 keys × 9 locales.
Statistics now aggregate over PrintLogEntry (one row per print event,
the same table backing the global Print Log) rather than PrintArchive
(one row per file). A reprint creates a new PrintLogEntry instead of
overwriting the source archive's runtime fields, so:
- a 100 g successful print + a 10 g failed reprint correctly sums to
110 g / 2 prints / 1 successful / 1 failed in Quick Stats and the
Prometheus /metrics endpoint (previously the failed reprint silently
replaced the source archive's data; totals dropped from 100 g to 10 g)
- the archive's card cost/energy_kwh are preserved on reprints (only
the first run writes them); per-run actuals live on PrintLogEntry
- failed/cancelled/stopped reprints record partial-aware filament: sum
of tracked spool deltas when inventory is set up, else estimate
scaled to progress%, else None — prevents the full slicer estimate
from inflating totals on a print that stopped at 10 % progress
PrintLogEntry gains six columns: archive_id (nullable FK, ON DELETE
SET NULL so log entries survive archive deletion preserving #1343
soft-delete-vs-stats decoupling), cost, energy_kwh, energy_cost,
failure_reason, created_by_id. Idempotent SQLite + Postgres migrations.
New per-archive surface:
- archive list response carries run_count / last_run_at /
total_filament_actual_grams / successful_run_count / failed_run_count
via a single batch JOIN, no N+1
- new GET /archives/{id}/runs endpoint returns every PrintLogEntry for
the archive (ARCHIVES_READ permission, newest-first ordering)
- archive cards render an orange "N prints" badge for archives with
more than one run; clicking the badge opens a dedicated PrintLogModal
with date/status/duration/filament/cost columns plus failure_reason
under failed runs. Also reachable via the context menu's new "Print
Log" entry (works for single-run archives too), and embedded at the
top of the Edit Archive modal for context.
The purge_stats=true delete path now hard-deletes linked PrintLogEntry
rows up front so the archive's contribution truly leaves the totals;
without it, ON DELETE SET NULL would orphan the runs and leave them
counting toward stats.
Closes the longest-standing inventory gap — finding a specific spool
in a closet of 50 partials. Per-spool icon button on every inventory
card and table row, plus a "Print labels..." header action that opens
a multi-select picker pre-loaded with the currently filtered spools.
Four pre-built templates: AMS holder (30 x 15 mm) for the popular
Makerworld AMS Filament Label Holder, single box label (62 x 29 mm)
for Brother PT/QL or Dymo small labels, Avery L7160 (A4, 21 per
sheet), and Avery 5160 (US Letter, 30 per sheet). Each label carries
the colour swatch (with multi-colour gradient stripes for spools
with extra_colors set), brand, material, name, the *spool ID*
(bsaunder's articulated user-need: telling 8 spools of "PLA White"
apart, especially partials), and a QR code that deep-links to
/inventory?spool=<id> for phone-scan round-trips. Box-label adds
storage location; AMS-holder drops the QR — at 30 x 15 mm there is
no room for swatch + text + QR without truncating away the spool ID,
and AMS-bay identification is at arm's length where the swatch and
ID are enough.
Server-side rendering via ReportLab + qrcode (already a dep). Pure
Python, no headless browser, no system libs. Output is byte-identical
across browsers, Avery sheets align to <0.1 mm, and bulk export is
one click for one PDF. Two endpoints — POST /inventory/labels (local
DB) and POST /spoolman/labels (Spoolman-backed) — gated on
INVENTORY_READ, capped at 500 spools per request, returning
application/pdf via StreamingResponse. The renderer is decoupled
from the SQLAlchemy model via a LabelData dataclass so the same code
path serves both modes.
Modal picker scales to large libraries: search (substring match
across name / brand / #ID), material filter chips derived from the
visible spools, additive Select-all-visible / Deselect-visible /
Clear-all actions so selections survive filter changes. Restyled
twice in development — first cut used generic Tailwind which clashed
with the inventory's bambu-dark palette; second cut switched to
bambu-dark-secondary / bambu-green / bambu-gray to match.
Two render bugs found during visual inspection of generated PDFs and
fixed before commit:
1. AMS-30x15 template originally produced labels with only swatch
+ QR and no text at all — the side-by-side layout left <5 mm
for the text column, so the renderer bailed without drawing
anything. Layout split into tight (h<20mm) and roomy (h>=20mm)
regimes; tight regime drops the QR and gives the right column
to brand + material + a 13pt-bold spool ID.
2. Box-62x29 template aggressively truncated text — swatch + QR
each at ~14 mm on a 26mm-tall label squeezed the text column
to ~16 mm, turning "Polymaker Ivory" into "Polymak..." and
"Polymaker . PLA . Matte" into "Polymaker ...". Swatch capped
at 16 mm, QR capped at 18 mm and constrained to ~20% of width,
leaving the text column ~30 mm — full names render without
truncation.
Both bugs pinned by regression tests in test_label_renderer.py that
render with pageCompression=0 so the resulting PDF bytes contain the
text as ASCII and `assert b"Polymaker" in pdf` works.
The Tailscale toggle was supposed to obtain a publicly-trusted Let's Encrypt
cert via `tailscale cert` so users wouldn't need to import Bambuddy's CA into
the slicer. End-to-end testing showed this was always going to fail:
- Bambu Studio and OrcaSlicer refuse hostname input in the Add Printer
dialog (IP-only).
- Their printer-MQTT trust path validates only against the bundled BBL CA
store (`printer.cer`), NOT the system trust store. Confirmed against
ClusterM/open-bambu-networking's clean-room reimplementation:
`mosquitto_tls_set(BBL_CA)` + `verify_peer=1` + `tls_insecure=true` —
chain validation against BBL CA only, hostname check intentionally
skipped (because Bambu's printer cert CN is the device serial).
- LE certs don't chain to BBL CA, so the slicer rejects with the
well-known "-1" before any hostname/IP logic runs.
The cert-import step is unavoidable; LE provisioning was dead code for slicer
connections. Pivot:
- Toggle stays as an informational marker — when ON, the VP card surfaces
the host's Tailscale IP + MagicDNS hostname so users know what to paste
into the slicer.
- Cert is always self-signed (signed by `bbl_ca`).
- Tailscale exposure is via the existing bind_ip dropdown, which already
includes `tailscale0` IPs.
- Tailscale's role is strictly network reach — same trust burden as LAN.
Backend cuts:
- `tailscale.py`: `provision_cert`, `ensure_cert`, `cert_needs_renewal`,
`_FQDN_RE`, `_HTTPS_DISABLED_RE`, `TS_CERT_EXPIRY_THRESHOLD_DAYS`,
`cryptography` import. Keep `get_status` and `TailscaleStatus`.
- `certificate.py`: `ts_cert_path`, `ts_key_path`, `use_tailscale_cert`.
- `manager.py`: `tailscale_fqdn` field, `_cert_renewal_task`,
`_cert_restart_task`, `_cert_renewal_loop`, `_restart_for_cert_renewal`,
`_cancel_renewal_task`, `_cancel_restart_task`. Simplify
`_resolve_cert_and_advertise` to a sync method that just generates the
self-signed cert. Drop `tailscale_disabled` from the change-detection
diff (toggle is informational — no service restart needed).
- `routes/virtual_printers.py` + `routes/settings.py`: drop the
`tailscale_not_available` 409 guard on toggle-enable.
Frontend cuts:
- `VirtualPrinterCard.tsx`: FQDN/IP display sourced from
`multiVirtualPrinterApi.getTailscaleStatus()` (host-level) when toggle
is ON, instead of `printer.status.tailscale_fqdn` (cert side-effect,
no longer populated). Drop the `tailscale_not_available` toast handler.
- `api/client.ts`: drop `tailscale_fqdn` from the VP status type.
- i18n: rewrite `tailscaleDisabled.description` in all 8 locales to drop
the "no cert import" promise. Remove `toast.tailscaleNotAvailable` key.
Docs:
- Wiki `features/virtual-printer.md`: rewrite the entire Tailscale section
— remove the LE-cert + HTTPS-Certs-toggle + tailscale-cert-operator
steps, document the toggle as informational, keep the Docker socket
mount + LXC TUN troubleshooting (those still apply for daemon
reachability).
- README: drop "the Tailscale benefit here is the tunnel, not cert-import
elimination" framing in favour of "surfaces the IP for paste into
slicer; CA import unchanged because BBL CA store, not system trust
store, is what gets validated".
Tests:
- `test_tailscale.py`: reduced to surviving `get_status` cases (binary
missing, command fails, success, empty DNSName, malformed JSON).
- `test_virtual_printer.py::test_sync_from_db_restarts_on_tailscale_disabled_change`
→ `test_sync_from_db_does_not_restart_on_tailscale_toggle` (toggle is
informational; `remove_instance` must NOT be called).
- `test_virtual_printer_api.py::TestVirtualPrinterTailscaleGuardAPI` →
`TestVirtualPrinterTailscaleToggleAPI` (single test asserts both
directions succeed and daemon is never consulted).
- `VirtualPrinterCard.test.tsx`: mock now stubs `getTailscaleStatus`;
FQDN-copy block drives data through that query.
DB column `tailscale_disabled` is kept (persists toggle state) — Postgres-
safe column drop is harder; future cleanup can remove if the toggle goes
away entirely. LE cert files on disk (`virtual_printer_ts.{crt,key}`) are
left in place per VP — harmless residue, manual cleanup if desired.
Verified: ruff clean, 2484 backend unit tests pass, 17 frontend VP-card
tests pass, frontend build succeeds, live service restart confirms VPs
serve `issuer=CN=Virtual Printer CA` on the Tailscale interface — slicer
trusts the user-imported bambuddy CA and skips hostname checks, so MQTT
connection succeeds end-to-end.
