The print dialog described every slot from the printer's own telemetry, and
a printer cannot describe a spool it did not sell: a tray record carries no
brand field, tray_sub_brands is left empty for anything that is not a Bambu
spool, and the colour arrives as a bare hex the client resolves against
Bambu's own colour catalogue. A Devil Design PLA Basic Orange assigned in
Bambuddy therefore read as "PLA (Sunflower Yellow)" -- Bambu sell a
Sunflower Yellow at the same FEC600 -- while the printer card, which reads
the assignment, named it correctly. Two views of one slot, disagreeing.
GET /printers/{id}/inventory-remain now carries each bound slot's brand,
material, subtype, colour name and hex alongside the pooling key it already
sent, and the dialog prefers that over telemetry. The fallback is per field,
not all or nothing, so a spool with no stored colour name still gets the
catalogue lookup it had before while its brand and subtype come from the
binding. Resolved server-side because the identity rule differs per
inventory mode -- brand is a column in internal mode and a nested vendor in
Spoolman's, where the subtype is the filament name with its material prefix
stripped and the colour name has a three-step read order Spoolman has no
field for. Spoolman's synthesised colour name, which falls back to the
subtype, is withheld rather than rendered as "PLA Basic (Basic)".
Matching is deliberately untouched and still runs on the printer's
telemetry. The auto-assignment, the colour-mismatch test and the mapping
that actually gets dispatched all read type, colour hex and tray_info_idx,
so renaming a slot cannot make the panel and the dispatcher draw different
conclusions from it. The payload is re-read on every open of the dialog: it
names the slots now, and a spool assigned moments earlier would otherwise
keep its old name for the rest of the thirty-second stale window. Done at
the two readers rather than by invalidating the key from each of the
eighteen places a binding or a spool can change, half of which are internal
paths and half Spoolman ones -- covering some would make freshness depend on
which mode you run.
Two hardening fixes fall out of putting a mapper on this path.
build_slot_materials runs before every queue start through
compute_deficit_for_queue_item, and _map_spoolman_spool walks a dozen nested
fields off the wire, any of which arriving as the wrong type raises
AttributeError rather than ValueError. Naming a slot must never cost a
dispatch, so that call fails soft to no name. The same inputs also reached
_material_identity_spoolman and _normalize_color_for_id, which have always
been on this path and would fail a queue start on a Spoolman record whose
filament is not a dict or whose color_hex is a number; both now read those
as "nothing to pool with". Behaviour for well-formed input is unchanged --
the guards only intercept types that previously raised -- so no pooling key
moves and AMS Filament Backup is untouched.
A print was refused a colour match between two filaments the dialog itself
labelled "Blue". The comparison was right: the slicer profile asked for a
near-pure #0028FF and the slot held Bambu's navy #0A2989, 118 apart in the
blue channel alone and a CIEDE2000 distance of 15, where 1 is a
just-noticeable difference. Nothing on screen said so. A hex that misses the
colour catalogue is named by a coarse family bucket, so both sides resolved
to the same word, and the warning sat between two identical labels with
nothing to reconcile it against. Read as a broken matcher, which is what the
report said, and a fair reading of what was shown.
Where both sides of a mismatch carry the same name they are now qualified by
their hex, and the tooltip names them together: "Same type, different color:
needs Blue (#0028FF), slot has Blue (#0A2989)". Names that already differ are
left alone -- the hex is noise once the words separate them -- and a side with
no name falls back to its hex rather than growing an empty bracket.
The comparison is untouched. It was correct, and its tolerance is not
something to widen on one report: a difference that size would start matching
navy to cyan, and eligibility is the same rule the queue scheduler dispatches
on, so loosening it would change which spool gets printed rather than only
which warning gets shown. This issue was about being able to see why the
warning fired, and a test pins that it still fires.
The strings around it were hardcoded English: the panel's status line, the
required-filament tooltip, the auto-matched marker, the slot placeholder, the
mismatch detail and the type-not-found message. All nine now go through
translation, in all thirteen locales. Two of them -- "Same type, different
color" and "Filament type not loaded" -- turned out to have had translations
sitting in every locale file the whole time, unused, while the component
rendered the English literal beside them. The parity gate could not have
caught any of this: keys that were never added have nothing to compare
against.
With a switch fitted, an AMS is not wired to a nozzle any more. It is
plumbed into one of the switch's two inlets and reaches both nozzles
through it, so every unit reports its extruder as "not fixed" (0xE) and
ams_extruder_map comes back empty on these machines.
The printer card had nothing to fall back on but the AMS unit number, so
AMS-A was badged R and AMS-B was badged L purely because their unit ids
are 0 and 1, a third unit got no badge at all, and every one of those
labels was wrong. The SpoolBuddy assign modal had the same fallback in a
worse form, mapping anything that was not extruder 1 to R.
The binding turned out to need no new telemetry. BambuStudio reads it out
of bits 24-27 of the same AMS info string we already parse for the AMS
type and the extruder id -- 0 is In-B, 1 is In-A -- and it is only
meaningful when a switch is installed, because without one 0xE really
does mean an uninitialised unit and those bits carry nothing. That gates
the read, which in turn forced the switch block to be parsed before the
AMS block: _handle_ams_data runs early in _process_message and
_update_state only much later, so the binding was lost on every frame
that carried both. _parse_fila_switch is split out and called first, and
left in _update_state as well so that stays a complete absorb step.
The badge keeps L and R rather than A and B, because the lettering is
familiar and matches the physical layout. It is a different colour from
the plain nozzle badge, and its tooltip names the inlet in full, since
the letter is the inlet's position and not a claim about which nozzle
that AMS feeds -- the switch can route either inlet to either outlet. An
AMS still reporting a real extruder id keeps its ordinary badge, which
BambuStudio also treats as authoritative over any switch binding, and a
switch that has been fitted but not yet set up on the printer shows
nothing rather than a guess.
The print dialog's slot dropdown gets the same label. It replaces a
left/right hint that never once rendered: ftsExtruderForSlot compared
snow-encoded in[] values against global tray ids and could not match.
Decoding it correctly would not have saved it -- the firmware reports
which slot sits in each inlet and which nozzle each outlet feeds, but
never which inlet is currently paired with which outlet, so no per-slot
nozzle can be derived. That function is gone rather than fixed.
The dialog also points out when every filament a print needs sits behind
one inlet. Bambu's own guidance is that this is legal but slow: a change
between two filaments on the same inlet retracts the outgoing spool all
the way back to its AMS before the next can be fed up the shared tube,
where a change across the two inlets only retracts as far as the switch.
All on one inlet means every change in the job takes the slow path, and
moving a single spool fixes it. So it advises, it does not block.
Both views update live. Two things were stopping that. fila_switch and
ams_switch_inlet were absent from printer_state_to_dict, and the frontend
shallow-merges each WebSocket push over its cached status, so a field the
push omits keeps whatever the last full fetch left behind. And the
broadcast dedup key had no term for either, so "Join IN-B" on the printer
screen moved nothing: the binding is not in the tray component of that
key, and it is not in the AMS change-hash either, which covers tray
fields only and must stay that way because it drives Spoolman sync.
Assigning an AMS to an inlet remains printer-side. BambuStudio can read
the binding and has no command to write it -- its switch class is parse
and getters only, and the recommended-arrangement popup draws and
publishes nothing -- so there is no wire format for us to copy.
Adding the two fields to PrinterState broke four test modules whose
SimpleNamespace stubs predate them. The stubs are fixed rather than the
production reads made defensive: the real dataclass always carries both,
and a getattr in the dedup key would silently stop tracking the field if
it were ever renamed.
The Vortek rack holds six hotends, and a multi-colour plate is sliced to
use a different one per colour so it can skip the purge. Which of the six
each colour takes is not in the 3MF. The same plate, sliced and sent twice
from Bambu Studio with a different choice each time, produces two files
that differ only in rounding in the last digit of a few extrusion figures
-- the filament grouping, the toolchange stream, the 120 nozzle-change
markers and project_settings.config are all identical. The choice travels
only in the dispatched nozzle_mapping.
Bambuddy had no way to state it, so those plates went out with no nozzle
assignment at all and the printer chose for itself. That is what levelled
on one hotend and printed with another, millimetres above the plate.
Every rack-bound filament now carries a position picker beside its AMS
slot dropdown, listing all six with the nozzle each holds. An empty
position, or one holding the wrong diameter or flow type, is shown greyed
out with the reason rather than hidden, so someone looking for position 4
finds it. The choice is per filament *group* rather than per slot, because
a group is one hotend: two filaments the slicer grouped together share it
and cannot point at different positions.
Nothing has to be picked. Positions are assigned automatically, preferring
one already loaded with that colour, which on the plate this was built
against reproduces Bambu Studio's own pick exactly.
A nozzle currently picked up onto the carriage is offered too. The
firmware drops its rack position from the report entirely rather than
sending a placeholder (#943), and refusing it would rule out the position
most likely to be wanted -- the one the last print left mounted. Only
recoverable when exactly one position is missing; two gaps are genuinely
ambiguous and stay unavailable.
Positions are re-checked at dispatch, not just when queued, because the
rack can be re-loaded in between. The two failure modes differ on purpose:
an explicitly chosen position that no longer fits stops the print, names
what the position now holds, and deletes the uploaded file from the SD
card so it cannot be started by hand either -- an operator who named a
hotend must not silently get a different one. An automatic assignment that
cannot be made instead falls back to letting the firmware choose, which is
what happened before any of this existed.
The pick is stored as {group: position} rather than as the expanded
nozzle_mapping, though that is what goes on the wire. That column means
"Bambu Studio decided, forward verbatim", and only the group-and-position
form can be re-checked against what is actually mounted at dispatch.
The existing multi-rack refusal in extract_nozzle_mapping_from_3mf stays.
It still guards the #2800 fallback, which can only ever name one rack id.
Measured on the maintainer's H2C: rack position n is physical nozzle id
15 + n, confirmed by cross-referencing two captured dispatches against
Bambu Studio's own dialog. extruder_max_nozzle_count names which carriage
is the rack straight from the file, and is read rather than assumed -- a
fourth independent confirmation of the carriage indices fixed in 45dc139.
The print dialog is also wider, on every printer. Its filament rows carry
the most horizontal content in it and adding a picker truncated names to
"Bamb...". The column widths themselves only change on a rack machine.
Tests: 44 unit covering the plan, the resolver, the mounted-nozzle
recovery and every refusal; 9 dispatch integration asserting the two real
captures end to end; 7 API round-trip; 33 frontend. The API ones exist
because two integration bugs got through a green suite that tested the
pieces and not the seams -- the group data reached only one of the three
filament-requirements routes, and the field was declared on every schema
except the create one, where Pydantic dropped it in silence.
Round-2 review fixes for #2700.
Blocking: the toggle didn't actually gate the archive write. archive.py's
promotion fired for any print_data carrying ams_mapping, but bambu_mqtt's
request-topic interception captures ams_mapping unconditionally for every
print source (slicer-direct LAN prints included). Since main.py's
real-printer auto-archive path forwards the full MQTT payload as
print_data, every archive on any install — VP or not — grew
extra_data.slicer_ams_mapping. Fixed by replacing the print_data-sniffing
with an explicit `slicer_ams_mapping` param on archive_print() that only
the VP-queue path (already gated on save_ams_mapping) ever passes.
Blocking: a saved mapping could get reused on a printer it was never
resolved against — tray IDs only mean something relative to one printer's
AMS layout. extra_data.slicer_ams_mapping is now stored as
{mapping, printer_id} instead of a bare array:
- add_to_queue's fallback only fires when the reprint's target printer_id
matches the mapping's origin printer.
- The frontend's archiveAmsMapping only surfaces (and the Mapping button
only appears) when the print modal's selected printer matches too.
- A model-based VP (target_printer_id=None, no MQTT bridge to any real
printer) never stamps a mapping in the first place — there's no live AMS
layout for the slicer to have resolved tray IDs against.
Also from review:
- Multi-plate archives now get the Mapping button too (the per-plate
FilamentMapping loop was missing archiveAmsMapping entirely).
- Added coverage for the previously-untested late-MQTT archive patch path
(_restamp_recent_queue_item), including the model-based-VP skip case.
- usingArchiveMapping now also resets on printer change, not just
plate/archive (it already worked via the printer-scoping above, but is
now an explicit dependency too).
- The Mapping button's revert (OFF) now undoes only the slots it itself
set, not every manual pick in scope — matches the comment above it.
- Added a comment on why negative-value slots (external spool) are
skipped rather than cleared when applying a saved mapping.
Lets a reprint reuse the AMS slot the slicer itself picked, instead of
re-deriving one from the file's static type/color.
When a Print Queue VP has "Save AMS mapping" on, the slicer's own
live-resolved ams_mapping (from the project_file MQTT command) is
persisted onto the archive as extra_data.slicer_ams_mapping. A later
reprint can reuse it via a new "Mapping" button in the filament-mapping
panel — one click snaps every slot to the saved pick, click again
reverts to auto-match. Archive cards and queue rows get an "AMS mapping
saved" badge so it's visible beforehand. add_to_queue also falls back
to the saved mapping automatically when the caller sends no explicit
ams_mapping (e.g. a plain reprint with no per-slot edits).
The queue item's own ams_mapping (used for that dispatch) is still
captured unconditionally whenever the slicer provides it — that part is
a correctness fix, not gated behind the toggle. Only the archive
persistence for future reprints is opt-in.
Split out from the original combined PR per review: this half is
genuinely opt-in and low-risk (#2684). The dispatch-time validation
gate that keeps a stored mapping honest (#1308) changes behaviour for
every existing user and will land as its own PR.
Review fixes applied:
- _extract_slicer_ams_mapping_json: dropped the unreachable `v is None`
arm and rejected bool explicitly (isinstance(v, int) accepts bool).
- Translated the Russian docstring text to English.
- save_ams_mapping's model comment moved to a trailing comment on the
column line, matching the file's convention.
- usingArchiveMapping now resets when the plate or archive changes, so
the Mapping button can't read ON against a mapping it never applied.
- Translated "Click to change slot assignment" and "Re-read".
- add_to_queue's fallback is now called out explicitly in code comments
and covered by three new integration tests (fallback fires, explicit
mapping wins, unrelated extra_data doesn't false-trigger).
Closes#2684
In the Print dialog's Filament Mapping, each required filament shows its
name and the grams the job needs, e.g. "Bambu PLA Basic (281.2g)". Name and
grams shared one fixed-width column with truncate on the whole string, so a
long name pushed the "(...g)" off the end and clipped it -- partially on a
wide screen, entirely in mobile portrait. The gram usage is the number that
matters (does the spool have enough left?), so it shouldn't be the part that
gets dropped.
Pin the gram usage (shrink-0, whitespace-nowrap) and let only the name
truncate, with the full name on hover. Applied to both the Specific-Printer
(FilamentMapping) and Any-model (PrinterSelector) panels. Layout only.
Selecting several plates hid the filament mapping panel but did not stop the
modal sending a mapping. With no single plate selected it fell back to the
whole file's filament list -- the union of every plate -- and matched against
that. Tray assignment is stateful, so where plate 1 prints red on slot 1 and
plate 2 prints red on slot 2, slot 1 claimed the only red spool and slot 2 fell
through to a type-only match on black. That one mapping went out with every
plate, and the scheduler uses a stored mapping verbatim, so plate 2 printed in
the wrong colour -- decided by a panel the user never saw.
Fetch each selected plate's requirements and map them separately: one panel per
plate, named after it, with its own tray overrides, and each queue item carries
its own plate's mapping. A fan-out across several printers would be a panel per
plate per printer, so those items carry no mapping and the scheduler maps each
plate against the printer it picks. Model mode is unchanged -- no printer means
no trays to map onto.
The tray matcher existed twice and this needed a third caller, so extract it
once and have both existing paths delegate; its 62 tests pass unchanged.
The bug only reproduces with a realistic query cache -- the shared test harness
sets gcTime: 0, which evicts the union and makes the modal look innocent -- so
the new modal tests bring their own client.
The app was built dark-first, so hundreds of hardcoded Tailwind semantic
text/icon utilities at light shades (text-amber-400, text-blue-300, ...) had
no dark: variant. With darkMode:'class' they applied in light theme too,
producing washed-out text on pale tints and white cards — including the three
reported spots (AMS Drying banner, Archives no-3MF warning, debug-logging
banner). Give each a theme-aware pair: a darker readable shade in light theme
with the original pinned to dark:, so dark theme is unchanged. ~100 files.
The bambu-* CSS-variable palette (self-correcting) and the dark-only SpoolBuddy
kiosk are left untouched. Plain text-white is already theme-aware via the
existing index.css .text-white override, so it needed no changes.
Settings:
- Introduced billing enabled toggle with printer kill switch functionality in the settings.
- Added finance monthly budget reset day and timezone settings.
Other:
- Added cost center fields to PrintModal (if enabled)
- Switched sequence in PrintModal (cost center after estimated cost, and before print options)
- Implemented Finance Page
Two tightly-coupled deliverables in one drop -- a new AMS Filament Backup
status/control surface, and the #1766 fix that depends on it.
Added -- AMS Filament Backup status + control
- Parse bit 18 of top-level print.cfg into PrinterState.ams_filament_backup
on every push_status. Verified against OrcaSlicer source
(DeviceManager.cpp:4961) and a live H2D ON/OFF capture. Tri-state
(None = A1 family / pre-cfg push) preserves today's behaviour.
- Hold-timer guard (3 s) prevents stale frames from flickering the badge
back to the printer's old cfg after a user-initiated toggle.
- POST /printers/{id}/ams-backup toggle, set_ams_filament_backup() client
method calling _set_print_option("auto_switch_filament", enabled).
- GET /printers/{id}/inventory-remain endpoint exposes the same map the
dispatcher uses (internal and Spoolman modes both work uniformly).
- Small icon badge in the printer card's "Filaments" section header
(placement reads as printer-wide because the cfg bit is printer-wide,
not per-AMS). Click to toggle, success toast.
- 5 i18n keys x 11 locales for the badge UI.
Fixed -- #1766: prefer_lowest didn't pick lowest, ignored backup state
- Backend gate in _compute_ams_mapping_for_printer: coerce prefer_lowest
to False when status.ams_filament_backup is False; log the skip.
- New effectivePreferLowest(setting, backup) helper applied at every
frontend sort entry point: single-printer PrintModal, multi-printer
hook per-printer, PrinterSelector InlineMappingEditor, FilamentMapping
standalone editor (the last had NO preferLowest awareness at all
before this change).
- New preferLowestSortKey(f, inventoryByTrayId) mirrors backend's two-tier
key exactly, including the banding tie-break (regular AMS < AMS-HT <
external) so the client-side pre-compute matches the dispatch-time pick.
An earlier draft used a flat `amsId * 4 + trayId` priority which gave
external slots (ams_id = -1) a NEGATIVE priority -- caught in code
review before commit.
- Settings -> Filament -> "Prefer lowest remaining filament" gets an
explanatory note about the printer-side AMS Backup dependency, with
i18n key in all 11 locales.
Before this change, the Re-print and Schedule modals' per-filament
slot dropdown hid every slot whose extruder didn't match the filament's
slicer-assigned nozzle. On H2D with AMS A+C on the left and B on the
right, an L-assigned filament could only pick A or C and an R-assigned
one could only pick B — locking the user out of cross-extruder picks
even when they'd intentionally loaded the required filament into the
other AMS.
The slicer wasn't the source of the asymmetry: BambuStudio Desktop,
OrcaSlicer Desktop, and the Bambuddy sidecar all produced identical
filament_map values for the same source 3MF. Bambuddy's UI filter was.
Drop the f.extruderId === item.nozzle_id clause in FilamentMapping's
loadedFilaments filter. Single-nozzle and FTS short-circuits stay; the
L/R row badge stays as a hint to the slicer's intent. Printer firmware
decides at start-print whether the cross-extruder ams_mapping is valid.
Round 2 fixed the model-mode FilamentOverride: tray_info_idx →
sub-brand, plus a material-disambiguated colour name from a new
/inventory/colors/by-material endpoint. The printer-mode panel that
renders the same 3MF (FilamentMapping) was reading the same raw
fields — item.type for the required label, getColorName(item.color)
for the swatch tooltip — and was not touched, so picking "Specific
Printer" still showed "Required: PLA - Black" for a slice the
"Any H2D" branch already labelled "Bambu PLA Matte - Charcoal".
Extract the three-query resolution machinery from FilamentOverride
into a shared hook useFilamentLabels (returns positional
{resolvedName, colorLabel} per slot). Both panels call it; both
read the same labels. The hook also owns extractMaterialHint so the
"strip leading brand token" rule has one source of truth.
FilamentMapping required-side now reads {resolvedName} instead of
{item.type}; swatch tooltip reads `Required: {resolvedName} -
{colorLabel}` instead of `Required: {item.type} -
getColorName(item.color)`.
The Print Queue's schedule dialog hid the per-slot "Force color match"
checkbox when a specific printer was picked, even though the scheduler
in print_scheduler.py:535 honours force_color_match regardless of how
the queue item was created. Model-mode ("Any A1") rendered
FilamentOverride which carries the checkbox; printer-mode rendered
FilamentMapping which had no force-match UI at all. Pure UI gap.
Extend FilamentMapping to accept optional forceColorMatch +
onForceColorMatchChange props, mirroring FilamentOverride's signature,
and render the same <Palette>-iconed checkbox under each filament row
when a handler is wired. PrintModal/index.tsx passes the existing
forceColorMatch state through — same object both modes write into so
toggling between modes preserves the user's selection. No new i18n
keys (printModal.forceColorMatch already ships in all 11 locales).
The FTS routes any AMS slot to either extruder, so AMS info reports
bits 8-11 = 0xE (uninitialized) and ams_extruder_map ends up empty.
The print modal's per-nozzle dropdown filter then hides every loaded
slot, leaving the user with an empty filament dropdown.
Detection: parse print.device.fila_switch from MQTT push_status into a
new FilaSwitchState dataclass on PrinterState; surface it through the
GET /printers/{id}/status response as a nullable FilaSwitchResponse.
Frontend: useFilamentMapping and FilamentMapping skip the per-extruder
filter when fila_switch.installed is true. Slots currently fed into a
track display an [L]/[R] routing badge in the dropdown so the user
can see where the FTS is currently routing them.
Tests: 4 backend unit (TestFilamentTrackSwitchDetection), 2 backend
integration (status route), 2 hook regression, 2 component regression.
All filament mapping dropdowns (single-printer, multi-printer, and
"Print to Any" model-based) showed only the base material type (e.g.
"PLA") without distinguishing subtypes like "PLA Basic" vs "PLA Matte",
making entries with different subtypes but same color look identical.
Backend: Add tray_sub_brands to available-filaments response and include
it in the dedup key so different subtypes of the same color appear as
separate entries.
Frontend: Show tray_sub_brands in FilamentMapping, FilamentOverride, and
PrinterSelector dropdowns, falling back to base type when unset. Add
traySubBrands field to LoadedFilament interface.
Dual-nozzle H2D/H2D Pro: filament matching now respects nozzle assignments
from the 3MF file. Each AMS unit feeds a specific nozzle (L/R), and the
scheduler/frontend constrain matching to only trays on the correct nozzle.
Falls back to unfiltered matching when no trays exist on the target nozzle.
L/R badges shown in the filament mapping UI. Translated in en/de/ja/it.
Fix AMS slot config overwritten on startup: on_ams_change unconditionally
unlinked BL spool assignments on every MQTT pushall, then re-assigned them
sending ams_filament_setting without setting_id — clearing the printer's
filament preset. Now compares spool RFID identifiers before unlinking.
Fix BL spool detection false positives: removed tray_info_idx from detection
logic in both backend is_bambu_lab_spool() and frontend isBambuLabSpool().
Third-party spools using Bambu generic presets had GF-prefixed tray_info_idx
values, causing misidentification. Now uses only tray_uuid and tag_uid.

Closes#104
- Print from File Manager with plate selection, AMS mapping, and print options. Closes#94
- Add to queue without creating archive (reduces clutter)
- Queue displays library file name, thumbnail, and print time
Fixes:
Queue items from File Manager now reference library files directly instead of
creating archives upfront. Archives are created automatically when prints start.
