Slicing an STL via the integrated slicer always defaulted to whatever
curr_bed_type lived in the chosen process preset (typically "Cool
Plate"), which the slicer CLI rejected for high-temp filaments with
"Plate 1: Cool Plate does not support filament 1". The user had no
way to switch plates without cloning the preset in BambuStudio.
The Slice modal now exposes a Build plate dropdown with the six
canonical BambuStudio / OrcaSlicer plates (Cool Plate, Cool Plate
SuperTack, Engineering Plate, High Temp Plate, Textured PEI Plate,
Smooth PEI Plate) plus an "Auto (use process preset)" option that
preserves the previous behavior. Positioned between Process profile
and Filament rows so a long filament list never pushes it off the
modal's scrolled viewport, and always enabled regardless of whether
the user picked a Printer Preset Bundle.
A new bed_type field on SliceRequest flows through both dispatch
paths:
- Resolved-preset path: _patch_process_bed_type overwrites
curr_bed_type on the process JSON before forwarding to the sidecar.
Works end-to-end today, no sidecar change needed.
- Bundle dispatch path: slice_with_bundle adds a bedType form field
to the sidecar multipart. The sidecar (maziggy/orca-slicer-api
fork) needs a matching change to honor it as --curr_bed_type on
the CLI invocation; until then the field is silently ignored and
the slice runs with the bundle's default plate.
Bambuddy's external SpoolmanDB lookup in `_find_or_create_filament` matched
on material+color only, with no manufacturer filter. Because SpoolmanDB is a
multi-vendor catalog and entries are roughly ID-sorted, the first hit for
any common combination is almost always a competitor — `bambulab_pla_black_1000_175_n`
is the 15th entry for PLA + `#000000`. Bambu Lab RFID spools were being
labeled with competitor product names (`3DJAKE Black`, `3DXTECH™ Black`, etc).
Restrict the external-library loop to entries whose manufacturer is
`"Bambu Lab"` (with `id.startswith("bambulab_")` as a defensive fallback
for schema drift). When multiple Bambu Lab candidates exist, prefer the
entry whose `name` equals the AMS `tray_sub_brands` so `"PLA Basic"` wins
over generic `"Black"` when both are present. Forward `density` from the
chosen external entry so it is no longer overwritten by the PLA-default
1.24 in `create_filament`.
Six unit tests added: internal short-circuit preserved, non-Bambu external
entries skipped, PLA Basic > generic PLA tiebreaker, no-match fallback,
id-prefix defensive fallback, density propagation.

On A1 / A1 Mini, clicking the "Up" arrow on the printer-card bed-jog
control sent the nozzle straight into the build plate. Reporter
triggered it with the 50 mm step and crashed their nozzle.
Root cause: the bed-jog UI was designed against the X1 / P1 / H2 family
where the bed is the Z-axis and Bambu's firmware homes Z=0 at the top,
so G1 Z- raises the bed toward the toolhead (decreases the nozzle-bed
gap). The frontend maps "Up" to negative distance with that convention
in mind.
A1 / A1 Mini are bed-slingers: bed moves on Y, toolhead moves on X+Z,
firmware uses standard cartesian Z (Z+ = toolhead up). On those models
G1 Z-10 drives the toolhead DOWN 10 mm. There was no model
classification at the bed-jog code path, so every printer got the same
X1-convention G-code.
Fix: new is_bed_slinger(model) helper in printer_manager (sibling to
existing supports_chamber_temp / has_stg_cur_idle_bug, reuses the
already-defined A1_MODELS frozenset which covers display names and
internal codes N1 / N2S). The bed-jog route now inverts the signed
distance before emitting G-code when the printer model is in that set,
so UI "Up" semantics ("decrease nozzle-bed gap") stay consistent
regardless of which physical part moves. Frontend untouched, single
source of truth lives in the backend, keyed off the Printer.model
column. Route Query description and docstring updated to spell out the
new contract: distance is the gap adjustment, not the raw Z value.
Editing a spool's color name on Spoolman-backed inventory appeared to
accept the new value but the inventory list column and the next edit
showed it back to the subtype. Three layers stacked to produce this:
1. find_or_create_filament matches by material/name/color_hex/vendor —
color_name is intentionally not part of the match key, but on a
match it returned the existing filament's id unchanged, silently
dropping the new value.
2. The read helper falls back to subtype when filament.color_name is
empty (kept on purpose: without it Spoolman installs that don't
fill the field render every spool as "Unknown color").
3. The edit form prefilled color_name from spool.color_name — which
on those installs was the synth value. Changing subtype but not
color_name silently round-tripped the OLD subtype back to Spoolman
as if it were a real user-set color_name.
Fixes:
- find_or_create_filament now patches the matched filament's
color_name via the existing patch_filament wrapper when the request
differs. Parameter convention: None = don't touch, "" = explicit
clear, any other string = set/update. A patch failure is logged but
does not block the match.
- The PATCH route uses model_fields_set to distinguish "field omitted"
from "field explicitly set to null" (mirrors the existing
storage_location pattern at the same site).
- The map helper returns color_name_is_synthesized: bool. The edit
form leaves the input blank when true, so the user sees the real
stored state and can't accidentally round-trip the synth value back.
Restarting Bambuddy mid-print misfired the plate-check + archive flow.
The is_new_print guard treated _previous_gcode_state=None → RUNNING as
a transition, but None just means we haven't seen any prior state yet —
catch-up from a printer that was already running, not a fresh start.
Add `_previous_gcode_state is not None` to the guard. _was_running still
flips on unconditionally, so completion detection is unchanged. 3 tests
that asserted the buggy behavior now seed an explicit prior state; new
regression test pins the contract for the reporter's exact scenario.
External scan hung on a 1200-subdir NAS because (1) every STL crashed
with TypeError ('str / str') inside generate_stl_thumbnail and (2)
thumbnail generation ran synchronously per file, so the FE timed out
before db.commit() and nothing was persisted.
stl_thumbnail.py now coerces inputs to Path defensively, and
scan_external_folder defers STL thumbnail generation to a background
asyncio task that opens its own session and processes each file
post-commit. Subdirs appear in the sidebar immediately; thumbnails
backfill over the next seconds/minutes.
Real-printer prints broadcast archive_created from the MQTT print_start
handler, which the Archives page listens for to invalidate its query
cache. The VP file-receive paths created the archive in the DB but
never emitted the event, so the new card only appeared after a tab
switch triggered refetch-on-focus.
Added a small _broadcast_archive_created helper on VirtualPrinterInstance
and called it from _archive_file (immediate mode) and _add_to_print_queue
(queue mode). Review mode is unaffected — it creates a PendingUpload,
not a PrintArchive. Broadcast errors are swallowed at debug level so a
transient WebSocket issue can't break the file-receive flow.
Bambuddy's VP supports two slicer flows: Send (file upload only — what
queue/immediate/review modes are designed for) and Print (file upload
+ start-print, intended for proxy mode). When a user clicks Print
against a non-proxy mode the VP must still respond gracefully — the
file is fine to receive, just the start-print never happens. Instead
the slicer wedged at "Downloading...(0%)" and blocked the next
dispatch with "The printer is busy with another print job".
Cause: on_file_received transitioned gcode_state PREPARE -> IDLE
directly. Print-flow slicers watch the state cycle and only release
their in-flight-job lock on PREPARE -> ... -> FINISH (or FAILED).
PREPARE -> IDLE looks like "printer abandoned my job" and keeps the
prior job pinned in the slicer's memory.
Fix: transition PREPARE -> FINISH with prepare_percent=100. The 1-Hz
periodic status push broadcasts the new state to every connected
slicer within a second. Send-flow slicers don't watch this state so
the change is a no-op for them; Print-flow slicers see the FINISH
they were waiting for and unwedge.
ams_set_filament_setting and reset_ams_slot encoded the single-external
case as {ams_id: 255, tray_id: 0, slot_id: 0}. The "LOCAL tray_id = 0"
comment was a misread of the printer's response (which echoes the local
slot position), not the request semantics.
Captured BambuStudio -> X1C exchange shows the request encoding is
{ams_id: 255, tray_id: 254, slot_id: 0} (global tray index in tray_id).
The previous code's tray_id: 0 is what the P1S in #1279 rejects with
result: "fail", which silently broke external-spool filament selection
on every Bambu printer with no AMS or external spool in active use.
Dual-external (H2D) branch was not in the captured exchange and is
explicitly pinned at the legacy encoding pending a Studio -> H2D capture.
BambuStudio encodes virtual tray IDs (254/255) as -1 in the flat
ams_mapping array — a convention already documented in
bambu_mqtt.py:start_print(). The spoolman tracking helper was treating
-1 as "unmapped, use position-based default", which mapped slot_id=1
to AMS tray 0 and credited external-spool prints to whatever Spoolman
spool happened to be linked to AMS slot 0. The reporter's TPU prints
on an H2S were credited to a PLA spool for ~49g over 4 prints before
being noticed (regression of #853).
When slot_to_tray[slot_id-1] == -1 and ams_trays contains 254/255,
return the external tray ID directly. Prefers 254 over 255 (matches
single-nozzle tray_now reporting + the vir_slot id=255->254 remap in
bambu_mqtt.py:864). Legacy fall-through preserved for callers that
don't pass ams_trays.
Root cause investigation and patch by @ojimpo.
Prints sent from a slicer to a VP in print_queue mode arrived in the
queue with bed_levelling / flow_cali / vibration_cali / layer_inspect /
timelapse set to the SQLAlchemy column defaults, ignoring the user's
workflow page settings entirely. The manual POST /print-queue endpoint
reads these from the request body (frontend pulls them from settings
before submitting), but manager._add_to_print_queue constructed the
PrintQueueItem without touching any of those fields.
Read default_bed_levelling and the other four settings via get_setting
and pass them explicitly. _bool_setting helper handles the None ->
AppSettings default fallback.
The MJPEG fan-out broadcaster from #1089 only solved viewer-side
concurrency. Obico polling (every 5s) and the manual /camera/snapshot
endpoint kept opening their own fresh RTSP sockets, which X1/H2/P2
firmwares tolerated but X2D firmware 01.01.00.00 enforces strict
single-connection on — every poll kicked the live stream.
Add try_get_active_buffered_frame(printer_id): returns the broadcaster's
last buffered frame when a viewer is connected, None otherwise. Obico
and /camera/snapshot consult it before opening a fresh socket. When no
viewer is active they fall through to the existing fresh-capture path.
plate_detection and layer_timelapse intentionally not converted.
Spoolman had two mutually-exclusive weight paths gated on the
`disable_weight_sync` flag. The default (False) used AMS remain%
x tray_weight auto-sync, which silently dropped non-BL spools
because the AMS doesn't report tray_weight without RFID. The
inventory_remaining fallback would have covered it, but the
spool_assignment table it reads from is wiped on Spoolman
activation, so non-BL spools got no weight updates at all.
Match the internal Filament Inventory: per-print tracking always
runs, AMS auto-sync no longer writes remaining_weight (it still
maintains spool metadata and slot assignments). The setting
becomes a no-op; left in the schema and UI for backwards compat.
- store_print_data: drop the disable_weight_sync early return
- sync_ams_tray callsites in main.py + routes/spoolman.py: force
disable_weight_sync=True so weight is never written by AMS sync
- new regression test confirming tracking runs with flag=false
The AMS remain% delta path charged every tray with a delta, not just
trays involved in the print. Swapping a spool in an UNUSED slot mid-
print made the slot report remain=0 (fresh spool, no tag), versus a
print-start snapshot of 100%, so the originally-assigned spool got
charged the full 1000g.
Build print_used_keys from ams_mapping, tray_change_log, and
tray_now_at_start, and skip fallback for trays not in that set.
Legacy "scan every tray" behavior preserved when none of the three
signals are present.
feat(#1239): first cut at Gitea backups silently failing after 1st run
feat(#1239): Added Token Scope for Forgejo edge case. Also included: test coverage for fixes
Show an OrcaSlicer-style bed icon in the archive card's printer-name row
indicating which build plate the print was sliced for (Cool /
Cool SuperTack / Engineering / High Temp / Textured PEI / Smooth PEI),
with the full plate name in the hover tooltip. Closes the gap where
users had to remember which plate matched a re-print or open the
source 3MF in a slicer just to read the bed setting.
Card row also unified: archives with a real Bambuddy-printer
association used to render "H2D-1 GCODE ..." while slicer-only uploads
rendered "Sliced for X1C GCODE ..." -- same line, two different shapes.
Drop the "Sliced for " prefix so both render as a uniform
"<name-or-model> [bed-icon] GCODE <hash>" row, scanning identically
regardless of provenance.
Backend: new bed_type column on print_archives (idempotent ALTER TABLE
migration; SQLite + Postgres safe). Populated from curr_bed_type in
Metadata/slice_info.config (per-plate, authoritative -- that's what
got sent to the printer for the exported plate) with a fallback to
project_settings.config for older 3MF shapes. Wired through both
archive_to_response() (the hand-rolled dict converter that bypasses
from_attributes -- easy to miss) and the /rescan endpoint, so old
archives can be re-parsed via the existing per-archive Rescan button.
Backfill script (scripts/backfill_archive_bed_type.py, --dry-run
supported) re-opens every NULL archive's 3MF on disk to populate the
column. Auto-loads .env from project root before importing backend
modules (config.py reads DATABASE_URL from os.environ at import time,
not from pydantic-settings at Settings() time) and prints the resolved
DB URL with credentials redacted, so operators can confirm they're
hitting the intended database -- Postgres or SQLite.
Frontend: 6 OrcaSlicer-style PNGs ship in frontend/public/img/bed/ --
under /img/ because that path is already statically mounted; a
toplevel /bed-icons/ tried first hit the SPA catch-all and returned
index.html as text/html. New utils/bedType.ts maps slicer strings
case-insensitively, covering both Bambu Studio and OrcaSlicer naming
variants for the same physical plate. Unmapped or NULL bed_type
simply omits the icon, so cards stay clean for pre-feature archives.
Three enhancements requested by @oliboehm after the V1 label-printing
ship in #809:
- New box_40x30 single-label template (common DK/Brother roll size,
good for filament-bag and storage-bin labels). Routes through the
existing roomy layout since height >= 20 mm.
- Colour hex code (#RRGGBB, alpha-stripped, uppercase) rendered on
every label - useful when several near-identical material/colour
spools sit next to each other and the swatch alone isn't enough to
tell them apart. Skipped silently when rgba is None or malformed.
- Brand line bumped to Helvetica-Bold (was regular) and a couple of
points larger on both layouts so it reads cleanly at arm's length.
Wired through the SpoolLabelTemplate union, the modal's
TEMPLATE_OPTIONS, and the inventory.labels.templates.box40x30 i18n
key in all 8 locales (native translations for de/fr/it/ja/pt-BR/
zh-CN/zh-TW). Modal regression test widened from 4 to 5 template
buttons. Three new renderer tests pin the hex-code render, the
hex-code skip on invalid rgba, and the bold-brand font reference.
The kiosk's Settings -> Update Daemon button returned "API keys cannot
be used for administrative operations" because POST /spoolbuddy/devices/
{id}/update was gated on Permission.SETTINGS_UPDATE, and SETTINGS_UPDATE
is in the _APIKEY_DENIED_PERMISSIONS deny-list introduced by PR #1241.
Every kiosk-side request tripped the deny-list before the API key's
scope set (Read / Print Queue / Control / Legacy) was even consulted.
Same root cause as the four QuickMenu System buttons fixed in 0.2.4b3
(Restart Daemon / Restart Browser / Reboot / Shutdown). Missed /update
in that audit on the reasoning "replaces the daemon binary, different
threat surface" — but that's wrong: restart_daemon already replaces
the running daemon process, so daemon-replacement is not a step up in
blast radius. The SSH update is also strictly scoped to the one device
the operator physically controls (git fetch + pip install + systemctl
restart on that host) — same threat profile as the system commands
already running on INVENTORY_UPDATE.
Lower /spoolbuddy/devices/{id}/update from SETTINGS_UPDATE to
INVENTORY_UPDATE so it aligns with the rest of the kiosk-scoped routes
(calibration/tare, display, cancel-write, system/command,
system/command-result, update-status). The main Bambuddy in-app updater
at POST /api/v1/updates/apply keeps SETTINGS_UPDATE — that one runs on
the Bambuddy host and is correctly fenced behind the deny-list.
feat(spoolman-inventory): squashed feature work for rebase onto dev
Squashed all commits from feature/spoolman-inventory-ui onto a single commit
to enable a clean rebase onto dev. Original per-commit history preserved at
backup tag backup/spoolman-inventory-ui-prerebase-20260507-105721.
Slicer "Send to printer" worked on 0.2.3.2 with a queue-mode VP and
started failing on 0.2.4b3 with BambuStudio's generic "storage needs
to be inserted before send to printer" error. Multiple users
reported it across P1S, P2S, Docker bridge, macvlan, and host
networking. @rtadams89's debug-level support archive showed the
smoking gun: slicer establishes MQTT TLS, gets pushall +
get_version, then never opens an FTP connection — pre-flight
rejects before any data transfer.
The 0.2.3.2 synthetic stub baked in three SD/storage indicators
that BambuStudio's "Send" pre-flight reads: home_flag with bit 8
(HAS_SDCARD_NORMAL, 0x100), sdcard=True, and a storage:{free,total}
block. The 0.2.4b3 cached-as-base slicer-mirror (7dea33d0) passes
the live target's push_status through with only an IP rewrite — if
the real firmware doesn't report those fields (P1S/A1 with no SD
card, older field shapes, confirmed on P1S firmware 01.10.00.00),
the slicer sees "no storage" and aborts. H2D and X1C reproductions
worked because those firmwares do report the indicators.
In _send_status_report's cached-as-base branch, after copying the
cache and applying the existing protocol/upload-state overrides:
- home_flag |= 0x100 (preserves any other bits the real printer set)
- sdcard = True (force-set even when real says False)
- storage = setdefault(...) (only fills in if missing — real values
pass through unchanged when the printer reports them)
For VP usage the slicer uploads via FTPS to Bambuddy's filesystem
at /app/data/virtual_printer/uploads/<vpid>/; the printer's actual
SD card is irrelevant on that path, so forcing "storage available"
is correct for the queue / immediate / review modes the
cached-as-base path covers.
Subsequent backups against Gitea 1.24+ failed with the opaque
"Backup failed: 'tree'" message after the initial-backup fix landed in
7ee89b56. Root cause: Gitea's GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/git/commits/{sha}
returns the wrapped Commit schema where the tree lives at
data["commit"]["tree"]["sha"], whereas GitHub's same-named Git Database
endpoint returns the unwrapped GitCommit schema with tree at the top
level. The bare commit_response.json()["tree"]["sha"] lookup at
gitea.py:109 raised KeyError: 'tree' and the broad except in push_files
surfaced it as the opaque "Backup failed: 'tree'" string — masking the
real shape mismatch.
Adds a _commit_tree_sha() helper that tries the flat shape first
(GitHub-compatible / older Gitea) and falls back to the wrapped shape
(Gitea 1.24+, Forgejo). Returns None on truly malformed responses;
push_files maps that to a clear "Failed to extract tree SHA from commit
response" instead of leaking a KeyError repr. Keeps the existing-files
diff working on both shapes so subsequent backups don't re-upload every
blob — preferred over the .get()-and-skip approach which would have
required also dropping base_tree from the tree POST and re-uploading
unchanged files on every backup.
feat(spoolman-inventory): squashed feature work for rebase onto dev
Squashed all commits from feature/spoolman-inventory-ui onto a single commit
to enable a clean rebase onto dev. Original per-commit history preserved at
backup tag backup/spoolman-inventory-ui-prerebase-20260507-105721.
Three Bambu Lab catalog rows share #FFFFFF — Jade White (PLA Basic),
Ivory White (PLA Matte), White (PLA Silk). The catalog lookup in
create_spool_from_tray filtered by manufacturer + hex only with no
ORDER BY, so SQLite returned rows in rowid order and the first-inserted
entry (Jade White) won every RFID-driven spool creation regardless of
the actual material the AMS reported. Inserting an Ivory White PLA
Matte roll always produced a spool named "Jade White".
Same class of bug bites any other shared-hex pair across PLA Basic /
Matte / Silk; the whites were just the most visible.
Fix: add a material filter using tray_sub_brands (the printer-reported
material variant — "PLA Matte" / "PLA Basic" / "PLA Silk"), which
matches the catalog's `material` column directly. Use the raw
tray_sub_brands value (captured before the gradient/dual/tri-color
subtype upgrade) because the catalog stores "PLA Basic" for gradient
rolls too — the upgraded subtype lives on the spool, not the catalog.
Also add ORDER BY id to the query so the fallback path (empty
tray_sub_brands — third-party spools / OpenTag tags) is deterministic
across SQLite + PostgreSQL instead of DB-implementation-defined.
Tests: 4 new in test_spool_tag_matcher.py — Ivory White PLA Matte
resolves to Ivory not Jade (the regression pin), PLA Silk White
resolves to White, Jade White PLA Basic still works with all three
#FFFFFF entries seeded, and the empty-sub_brands fallback stays
deterministic via the new ORDER BY.
Existing spools already mis-named in the database don't auto-correct
on next AMS read — the matcher only fires on new RFID-driven creation.
Affected users need a manual rename in Inventory after upgrading.
Two interacting bugs in the Gitea/Forgejo backend, both inherited from
GitHubBackend because PR #1160 assumed Gitea's Git Data API was fully
GitHub-compatible. It isn't, on two specific points:
1. List-shaped ref response. Gitea/Forgejo's
GET /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/git/refs/heads/{branch} returns a
GET /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/git/refs/heads/{branch} returns a
list of matching refs even when only one matches; GitHub returns a
single object. The inherited push paths did
ref_response.json()["object"]["sha"] and crashed with
"list indices must be integers or slices, not str" against any
populated Gitea repo.
2. Empty-repo writes refused. GitHub accepts blob/tree/commit POSTs
against a brand-new empty repo and creates the initial commit
implicitly. Gitea refuses every blob POST with 404 until the repo
has at least one commit, so _create_initial_commit silently failed:
blobs returned 404, tree_items stayed empty, the tree POST then
also 404'd ("Failed to create tree").
Fix lives entirely in GiteaBackend — github.py is untouched so the
proven GitHub path takes zero risk. GiteaBackend now overrides
push_files, _create_branch_and_push, and _create_initial_commit:
- _ref_sha() helper accepts both list and dict shapes; called at the
two SHA extraction sites in push_files and _create_branch_and_push.
- _create_initial_commit posts to Gitea's Contents API
(POST /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/contents with a files array plus
branch + new_branch) which seeds the initial commit + branch in
one transaction and is documented to work on empty repos.
ForgejoBackend extends GiteaBackend with no overrides and inherits
both fixes; tests pin that.
When one spool ran out and the AMS transparently switched to a sibling
slot of the same material, the usage tracker credited the originally-
mapped spool with the full 3MF estimate AND added the fallback spool's
remain%-delta on top — so a 78g print could record as 138g across two
spools, leaving the empty spool's recorded weight beyond its label.
Two interacting bugs:
1. bambu_mqtt.py: the tray-change recorder gated on
`state in ("RUNNING", "PAUSE")`, but P2S firmware briefly transitions
out of RUNNING during the AMS swap (into LOADING etc.), so the
literal-string gate missed the switch entirely and tray_change_log
stayed empty. Re-key on the print-lifecycle flags
(_was_running and not _completion_triggered) so any tray change
between print start and completion is captured regardless of the
momentary gcode_state.
2. usage_tracker.py: the splitting branch was gated on
`not slot_to_tray`, so the splitting code only ran for prints where
the slicer mapping hadn't been captured — i.e. never on the actual
fallback case (slot_to_tray is populated by every print_cmd). Drop
the gate: when tray_change_log has > 1 entries, splitting takes
over and per-segment per-layer gcode usage replaces the stale
mapping. Path 2 (AMS remain%-delta) then naturally skips both trays
because they're already in handled_trays after splitting,
eliminating the double-credit.
The SliceModal's preview slice runs against unsliced project files to
discover per-plate AMS slot consumption. Until now it always used
slice_without_profiles — accurate slot mapping (a model property) but
gram numbers were derived from the file's embedded process settings,
which can drift from the triplet the real print will use.
When the caller provides a bundle id + printer/process/filament preset
names, get_preview_filaments now routes through slice_with_bundle so
the preview's gram numbers match what the real print will produce.
Cache key picks up a bundle-context fingerprint so different bundle
picks on the same file occupy distinct entries.
Backend:
- slice_preview.get_preview_filaments: optional bundle_* params
- library.py + archives.py: forward params via /filament-requirements
Frontend (forward-compat for the upcoming SliceModal Bundle tier):
- api.getLibraryFileFilamentRequirements / getArchiveFilamentRequirements
accept an optional 4th-arg bundle context object
Wires Bambuddy to the orca-slicer-api fork's bundle endpoints (shipped
in bambuddy/bundle-import). Users will eventually upload a BambuStudio
"Printer Preset Bundle" (.bbscfg) once per printer; subsequent slices
pick from the bundle by preset name instead of re-uploading the JSON
triplet every time.
Service layer:
- BundleSummary / BundleNotFoundError types
- import_bundle / list_bundles / get_bundle / delete_bundle methods
- slice_with_bundle: POST /slice with bundle id + per-category names
instead of attached profile JSONs
Routes (LIBRARY_UPLOAD perm gate):
- POST /api/v1/slicer/bundles
- GET /api/v1/slicer/bundles
- GET /api/v1/slicer/bundles/:id
- DELETE /api/v1/slicer/bundles/:id
All routes proxy via _resolve_slicer_api_url so they follow the user's
preferred_slicer setting (bambu_studio vs orcaslicer). Status-code
mapping treats sidecar 4xx as 400, BundleNotFoundError as 404,
unreachable as 503, and sidecar 5xx as 502.
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.
Daily builds since 889c8bd8 (Apr 29) silently destroyed archive copies
and library file bytes on every print completion. Reprint / View G-code
later returned 404 with no log line explaining why; the DB row was
intact and the archive grid kept showing the entry, but the file
behind archive.file_path no longer existed on disk.
Root cause: #1166 added three dispatch sites that cache the live
archive copy (and library file bytes for Direct-Print) in the shared
3MF download cache, so /cover could skip a redundant FTP transfer
mid-print. The cache was originally designed for transient downloads
under archive_dir/temp/, and clear_3mf_cache(printer_id) — called
from on_print_complete to keep that temp dir from accumulating —
happily unlink()'d every cached path. Path.exists() guarded the
unlink, so no exception, no warning, just silent destruction. Listing
didn't change; only acting on the archive surfaced the 404.
Fix: clear_3mf_cache._maybe_unlink refuses to unlink any path outside
archive_dir/temp. Cache dict is still cleared (so re-cache continues
to work and /cover hits a fresh path next print), only the on-disk
delete is gated. Persistent locations — archive/<printer_id>/...,
archive/unassigned/... (VP-archived prints with printer_id=None),
library_files/..., is_external library mounts — all survive.
Regression test test_clear_does_not_delete_persistent_files pins the
contract end-to-end: archive 3mf, library 3mf, and temp 3mf all
cached for the same printer; after clear, all three cache entries
are dropped from the dict, but only the temp file is unlinked from
disk. Two existing tests updated to put fixtures under
archive_dir/temp.
Two consecutive plates of the same model would create the second print's
archive with the first plate's metadata: subtask_name lags across the
boundary while gcode_file is fresh, so the FTP candidate list (built
from subtask_name first) lands on the previous plate's still-resident
upload. The 3MF parser then locks the wrong _plate_index, name, time
estimate, and per-slot filament data into the archive at creation.
Fix peeks the downloaded 3MF's slice_info plate index, compares against
parse_plate_id(filename) (the plate parsed from /Metadata/plate_N.gcode,
which always reflects what's running), and on mismatch retries FTP with
swap_plate_suffix(subtask_name, expected_plate) — handling both the
spaced "Plate N" and underscored "_plate_N" suffix forms seen in real
subtask_names. If the retry finds a matching 3MF, the wrong file is
dropped and the corrected one feeds the archive; if no match is found
(or no swap is possible) the wrong file is dropped and the existing
no-3MF fallback creates an archive whose name reflects the right plate.
The validation only runs when parse_plate_id() returns a value, so
single-plate / cloud-named / non-Bambu jobs are unaffected.
17 new unit tests in test_archive_plate_validation.py cover both helpers:
plate-index peek across malformed / missing / non-integer / non-zip
inputs, and the suffix swap across both casings, the underscored form,
case-insensitive matching, and rejection of names without a recognised
suffix.
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.
In non-proxy VP modes (Immediate / Review / Print Queue), the slicer now
sees real AMS / FTS / nozzle / k-profile state from the target printer
and streams the live camera — full slicer-as-remote functionality without
giving up Bambuddy's queue / archive / dispatch features.
Architecture (cached-as-base, single source of truth). The bridge caches
the latest real push_status and info.get_version response from Bambuddy's
existing per-printer MQTT subscription — no second session on the printer,
firmware in-flight budget unaffected (#1164). _send_status_report serves
a near-byte-identical copy of the cached push with only the upload-state-
machine fields overridden. Command responses (extrusion_cali_get, AMS
write acks, xcam) fan out raw — they carry sequence_ids the slicer is
waiting on. Slicer-issued commands forward to the printer except
project_file / gcode_file, which still terminate locally because the file
lives on Bambuddy. Camera is a raw TCPProxy on bind_ip:322 → printer:322,
same approach proxy mode uses.
Field-shape gotchas pinned in the bridge module's docstring and the
new test file:
- Real Bambu pushes use json.dumps(indent=4) wire format. Compact JSON
fails BambuStudio's Send pre-flight silently.
- net.info[*].ip is the FTP destination IP (little-endian uint32).
Without rewriting to the VP bind IP, the slicer FTPs straight to
the real printer.
- upgrade_state.sn rewritten to VP serial; AMS-hardware sn fields
(n3f/0.sn etc.) left alone.
- ipcam.rtsp_url passes through unchanged; BambuStudio overrides the
URL host with the device IP it bound on, so :322 lands on the VP's
TCPProxy.
- extrusion_cali_get must forward; answering it locally hides the
user's stored per-filament k-profiles.
Setup nuance for camera: the VP's access code must match the target
printer's because the slicer authenticates RTSPS with whatever access
code is in its profile. MQTT and FTP work either way.
Tested e2e with BambuStudio and OrcaSlicer against H2D (dual-nozzle,
AMS 2 Pro + AMS HT) and X1C across all three non-proxy modes — sync,
send, k-profile lookup, AMS configuration from slicer, and live camera
all work. Proxy mode is untouched: SlicerProxyManager owns its own
proxies and never instantiates SimpleMQTTServer or MQTTBridge.
25 new tests in backend/tests/unit/test_vp_mqtt_bridge.py cover lifecycle,
caching, identity / IP rewriting, wire format, slicer→printer routing,
and the LE-uint32 IP encoder against the real H2D capture value.
Pre-fix, _background_notifications in main.py:3434 built archive_data
with print_time_seconds (the slicer's pre-print estimate parsed from
the 3MF at archive creation), and notification_service.py:909 formatted
that field straight into the {{duration}} template variable. A print
cancelled 2 minutes into a 3-hour estimate notified "duration: 3h".
Compute actual_time_seconds from started_at/completed_at in main.py and
add it to archive_data. notification_service.py prefers it, falls back
to print_time_seconds when the actual can't be derived.
Also add "cancelled" to the list of statuses that get completed_at set
in update_archive_status — pre-fix only completed/failed/aborted got a
timestamp, so queue-UI cancellations had no actual elapsed to compute
from. Audited every completed_at consumer; none depend on NULL to mean
"cancelled" (status field already carries that signal), and the
statistics-totals aggregation gets more accurate too as a side effect.
3 new regression tests in TestNotificationVariableFallbacks pin the
{{duration}} variable contract (actual wins over estimate; estimate
falls in when actual is missing; "Unknown" when both absent).
go2rtc and several IP cameras still emit a warm-up / black frame on every
fresh MJPEG connection — even with the v0.2.4b2 warm-up-skip fix it
slipped through intermittently for @nkm8's setup. His own bisect named
the clean solution: go2rtc exposes /api/frame.jpeg as a dedicated
single-frame endpoint that never returns the encoder's stale keyframe.
Adds an optional external_camera_snapshot_url column on printers. When
set, every single-frame capture path (snapshot endpoint, [SNAPSHOT]
notification thumbnails, [PHOTO-BG] finish photo, layer timelapse,
Obico ML, plate-detect / calibrate-plate) routes through _capture_snapshot
on the override URL via plain HTTP GET, bypassing the warm-up dance.
Live view stays on the configured stream URL — only single-frame
captures use the override. Override is camera-type-agnostic. SSRF guard
applies (existing _sanitize_camera_url allowlist). Empty string treated
as unset.
Settings UI: new "Snapshot URL (optional)" input + Test button under
External Cameras, hidden for camera_type=snapshot since the live URL is
already a single-frame source. en + de fully translated; 6 other locales
seeded with English copy.
5 backend tests pin the routing contract; 3 frontend tests pin the
input + debounced PATCH. Documented in
bambuddy-wiki/docs/features/camera.md with the go2rtc example.
paho's default max_inflight_messages=20 silently fills on Bambu's broker
after ~16-20 cumulative commands per session, leaving publish() returning
success while packets sit in paho's internal queue. force_reconnect heals
it because the inflight queue is per-session, but it costs one wasted
user action to trigger.
Lifting the ceiling to 1000 keeps QoS=1 untouched (deliberately chosen
for cross-model reliability — A1, P1S, X1C, H2D, P2S, X2D all need it)
and removes the inflight queue as the bottleneck without changing
wire-protocol behaviour. The 0.2.4b2 watchdog reconnect stays as
defence-in-depth.
Diagnosis credit: RosdasHH's QoS=1/0/2 bisect on #1164.
The ams_load_filament / ams_unload_filament MQTT primitives existed
in bambu_mqtt.py but were unused — no HTTP route and no UI. Surface
both as POST /printers/{id}/ams/load?tray_id={int} and
POST /printers/{id}/ams/unload, gated on PRINTERS_CONTROL.
Wire them into the existing AMS slot popover (next to "Re-read RFID")
and add a popover wrapper on the external spool slot which had none.
Hidden while the printer is RUNNING, mirroring the RFID re-read
gating. Both buttons enabled when permission is granted; the printer
no-ops gracefully if there's nothing to do (matches BambuStudio).
Dual-extruder H2D Ext-R support is the trickier piece. The existing
ams_load_filament(254) capture came from a single-extruder printer
and used slot_id=254, curr/tar=-1. Captured the Ext-R command from
BambuStudio fresh: it sends ams_id=255, slot_id=0 (the right
extruder index, NOT a slot index), target=255, and curr/tar = the
actual right-nozzle temp (read from state.temperatures["nozzle_2"],
falling back to 215 °C if cold so the printer doesn't reject the
command on a nonsensical temp). Added that as a new branch in
ams_load_filament; the existing tray_id=254 branch is preserved
verbatim — no risk of regression on single-external setups.
Edward's diagnosis was exact: the manual /print-queue/ POST extracts
filament requirements from the 3MF and writes
required_filament_types + filament_overrides + ams_mapping onto the
queue item, but the VP queue-mode write path skipped all of that.
Net effect: scheduler reached its model-only-matching fallback and
auto-dispatched onto whatever printer was free regardless of loaded
colour.
Extract the scheduler's existing _get_filament_requirements 3MF
parser into a shared helper so the VP path can reuse it. VP's
_add_to_print_queue now populates required_filament_types
unconditionally (cheap; helps the scheduler reject obvious type
mismatches) and writes filament_overrides with force_color_match:
true per consumed slot when a new per-VP queue_force_color_match
toggle is on. Default off to preserve current behaviour for
upgraders.
UI: new toggle on VirtualPrinterCard, mode-gated to print_queue,
mirroring the existing auto-dispatch toggle. i18n: en + de
translated, other 6 locales seeded with English copy.
Schema: one nullable column on virtual_printers
(queue_force_color_match BOOLEAN, default 0/FALSE).
11 new backend tests (8 for the extracted parser, 3 for the VP
write path) + 6 new frontend tests (toggle render gating, default
state, click posts queue_force_color_match in update body).
Existing scheduler tests pass against the refactored helper.
README, CHANGELOG, website features page, and wiki virtual-printer
page all updated.
@smandon retested the original #1152 fix on the latest daily and surfaced
two distinct holes:
1. ``Path(name).stem`` only strips the *last* suffix, so Bambu Studio's
default ``Plate_1.gcode.3mf`` exports landed in the archive UI as
``Plate_1.gcode`` — never the bare ``Plate_1`` the user expected.
2. The pending-uploads review card always showed the raw FTP filename,
while the eventual ``PrintArchive.print_name`` resolved from the 3MF's
embedded title (or, with the toggle on ``filename``, the stripped stem).
Net effect: same upload showed two different names depending on which
view you were looking at, with no way for the toggle to flip both
views in lockstep.
Three changes:
- ``resolve_display_stem`` helper in ``services/archive.py`` strips
``.gcode.3mf`` / ``.3mf`` / ``.gcode`` (case-insensitive). Applied at
the archive-creation site so ``Plate_1.gcode.3mf`` → ``Plate_1`` for
every flow that produces a ``PrintArchive`` row.
- ``PendingUpload.metadata_print_name`` (new nullable column) is
populated at FTP-receive time by peeking at the 3MF's embedded title
via the existing ``ThreeMFParser``. Read happens once per upload —
the list endpoint then doesn't have to reopen each 3MF on every
render. Parser failures are swallowed and the column stays NULL;
the response model gracefully falls back to the stripped filename.
- ``PendingUploadResponse.display_name`` is a computed field that
mirrors ``archive_print``'s exact precedence — ``filename`` toggle
→ stripped stem; ``metadata`` toggle (default) → cached title or
stripped stem. The frontend's review card reads it (with
``upload.filename`` as a defensive fallback) and surfaces the raw
FTP filename via tooltip so users can still inspect what arrived.
Migration is one idempotent ``ALTER TABLE pending_uploads ADD COLUMN
metadata_print_name VARCHAR(255)`` (Postgres/SQLite-safe). Pre-migration
rows have NULL and degrade to filename-stem behaviour without any
operator action.
Tests: 14 unit tests in ``test_archive_display_stem.py`` covering the
canonical normalisation rules (Bambu Studio default name, mixed case,
dots-in-the-middle, edge cases like ``.gcode.3mf``-only, full-path
inputs); 6 integration tests in ``test_pending_upload_display_name.py``
pinning the response contract (default toggle uses metadata title when
present, falls back to stripped stem when absent, ``filename`` toggle
overrides metadata, ``filename`` toggle still strips the double suffix,
``GET /{id}`` exposes the same field, whitespace-only metadata behaves
like absent); 3 frontend tests in ``PendingUploadsPanel.test.tsx``
pinning the review card's render path (resolved name shown, fallback
to filename when display_name is empty, raw filename available via
tooltip). Full backend suite: 3598 passed; frontend build clean; no
regressions in any flow that previously processed ``.3mf`` /
``.gcode`` / non-3D filenames.
_capture_mjpeg_frame returned the very first JPEG it found in the
bytes stream, but many MJPEG sources — go2rtc most notably, and
several IP cameras — emit a warm-up frame on the byte that follows
connection accept: usually the last keyframe held in the encoder,
typically black or stale until the encoder catches up to live
content. Subsequent frames on the same connection are fine.
Result: every code path that opened a fresh capture (snapshot UX,
finish photos in notifications, timelapse, plate-detection CV,
Obico ML inference, Settings → Test button) returned a black image
on go2rtc-fronted cameras.
Reporter's support log showed every black frame was 11095 bytes
(pure-black 1280x720 JPEG ≈ 10-15 KB) while real-content frames
from the same source were 30-45 KB.
Fix:
- Read past the first complete JPEG, return the second.
- Fall back to the first frame if the connection closes / times out /
hits the 5 MB buffer cap before a second arrives. Without that
fallback, slow / single-frame streams that pre-fix returned the
warm-up would post-fix return None — a regression. The fallback
guarantees we never do worse than current behaviour.
- Inner while-loop now drains every complete frame already in the
buffer before pulling the next chunk so high-FPS sources that
pack multiple frames per chunk are handled correctly.
Untouched: snapshot / rtsp / usb capture paths, generate_mjpeg_stream
(live-view fan-out).
7 new regression tests in TestCaptureMjpegFrameWarmupSkip cover
two-frames-in-two-chunks, two-frames-in-one-chunk, partial-frame-
split-across-chunks, single-frame fallback, timeout fallback, zero-
frame stream returns None, non-200 returns None.
Latency penalty: at most one frame interval (typically 50 ms - 1 s
on a steady stream), well within every caller's tolerance window.
P1S 01.10.00.00 (and similar firmware revisions) only echo the .3mf
filename in print.gcode_file, dropping the Metadata/plate_N.gcode path.
The /cover route's regex falls back to plate 1 — and the printer card
shows the wrong plate's thumbnail on multi-plate prints.
Resolution order in the new resolve_plate_id() helper (used by both
the status route's current_plate_id and /cover):
1. The plate Bambuddy dispatched. start_print() now records
(dispatched_plate_id, dispatched_subtask) on PrinterState; the
subtask check rejects stale records from a previous Bambuddy
dispatch bleeding into a Studio-direct print on the same project.
2. plate_(\d+)\.gcode regex on state.gcode_file (existing behaviour
for firmware that does include the path).
3. After download, scan the 3MF for a unique Metadata/plate_*.gcode —
covers per-plate archives sliced separately in Studio without a
Bambuddy dispatch record.
4. Default to plate 1.
Cover-byte cache key simplified to (subtask_name, view_key) now that
plate resolution is late-bound. clear_cover_cache() already fires on
every print start, so re-dispatches with a different plate always
fetch a fresh thumbnail.
Bambuddy-dispatched prints additionally register the local archive
3MF in the cover cache at dispatch time, so /cover reads straight
from the archive directory and doesn't refetch the file over FTP
from a printer whose FTP server is busy serving the active print.
Coverage: 5 unit tests for resolve_plate_id, 4 unit tests for the
dispatch record on start_print, 2 integration tests for the cover
route (dispatch wins over plate-1 default; 3MF-scan fallback for
per-plate archive without dispatch record).
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.
Configuring AMS slots ~6 times in a row would silently stop reaching
the printer, with filament colours jumping around briefly ~1 min
later. Root cause was the zombie-session watchdog from #887.
When an ams_filament_setting response took >10 s (normal under load)
the watchdog set `_ams_cmd_unanswered=1` and zeroed
`_last_ams_cmd_time` so it wouldn't re-fire on every status push.
The response handler that resets the counter required
`_last_ams_cmd_time > 0` — so when the late response arrived, the
reset path skipped it, leaving the counter armed at 1. The next
slow response on a fresh command (possibly minutes or hours later)
would take the counter to 2 and force-reconnect mid-publish — the
in-flight command got dropped, surfacing as "Cannot set AMS
filament setting: not connected" if the user retried during the
~1 min reconnect window.
Fix: drop the `_last_ams_cmd_time > 0` guard. Any
ams_filament_setting response proves the channel is alive, so the
counter must reset unconditionally. Real zombie sessions (no
responses at all for two consecutive >10 s windows) still trip the
watchdog correctly.
Regression test in test_bambu_mqtt.py drives the exact reporter
sequence: watchdog fires (clears timer, increments counter) →
late response arrives (must reset counter) → next slow response
(must only count as 1, not 2). Other 10 zombie-detection tests
still pass.
Slicer-uploaded archives picked up their display name from the 3MF's
embedded print_name (the creator-baked title); users who renamed a job
in BambuStudio's "Send to printer" dialog never saw that name surface
because the FTP filename was only used as a fallback when metadata was
empty.
Settings -> Virtual Printer now exposes an Archive name source toggle
(Metadata / Filename, default Metadata) that flips precedence in
ArchiveService.archive_print via a new prefer_filename_for_name param.
All four VP-sourced archive paths read the new
virtual_printer_archive_name_source setting and forward the flag:
_archive_file, _add_to_print_queue, POST /pending-uploads/archive-all,
POST /pending-uploads/{id}/archive.
Multi-plate batches scheduled to the same H2D Pro were triple-dispatched
within ~60 s — observed in user logs as queue items 139/140/141 all
flipping to status='printing' even though the printer was still
digesting the first project_file (FINISH for 80-210 s before flipping
to PREPARE). The DB busy_printers seed at print_scheduler.py:145 was
empirically missing the in-flight items in this window; without
database access I cannot pin the exact why, but the guard is unreliable.
Add a defensive in-memory dispatch hold:
- _start_print captures (dispatched_at, pre_state, pre_subtask_id) per
printer
- check_queue augments busy_printers with any printer still inside its
hold window (60 s minimum cooldown, 180 s hard timeout)
- _watchdog_print_start releases the hold once it observes a state or
subtask_id transition (success path), or on the existing 90 s revert
(unhappy path), or on disconnect
Pure additive — alongside the existing seed query and _is_printer_idle.
Doesn't depend on DB row visibility or on_print_complete firing
correctly. Per-printer isolated. Watchdog kept as @staticmethod so the
existing 12 watchdog tests pass unchanged; hold-release calls go
through the module-level scheduler instance.
End-to-end live progress, two correctness fixes, and a UX warning around
the upstream OrcaSlicer bugs we discovered while testing.
LIVE PROGRESS
=============
Wire OrcaSlicer / BambuStudio's --pipe progress channel through the
sidecar -> Bambuddy -> persistent toast so a user-initiated slice shows
"{name} -- Generating G-code (75%) -- 47s" instead of just elapsed time.
The same wiring covers the SliceModal's filament-analysis preview slice
(the real slice that fires before profile picking, used to discover
which AMS slots an unsliced plate consumes) and the embedded-settings
fallback path triggered by Orca's --load-settings segfault on complex
H2D models.
- Sidecar (orca-slicer-api/bambuddy/profile-resolver, separate commit):
switch /slice from execFile to spawn, mkfifo per request, parse the
CLI's structured JSON progress events into a per-process
ProgressStore, expose GET /slice/progress/:requestId.
- Bambuddy backend: slicer_api.slice_with_profiles + slice_without_profiles
accept request_id + on_progress, spawn a 1Hz parallel poller that
forwards each snapshot via SliceDispatchService.set_progress(job_id,
...) onto the matching SliceJob; GET /slice-jobs/:id includes the
latest snapshot on every poll. The 404 from the early-race window
(POST fired before sidecar's progressStore.start) is treated as a
retry rather than terminal -- otherwise the poller bailed before any
progress could ever arrive.
- /api/v1/slicer/preview-progress/:requestId proxies the sidecar's
progress endpoint for the modal's filament-discovery flow (the
/filament-requirements call is server-originated; the browser can't
reach the sidecar directly).
- Frontend: SliceJobTrackerContext re-renders the persistent toast with
the new format when a useful progress frame is present, falls back
to elapsed-time-only when the sidecar hasn't emitted yet or doesn't
support progress. SliceModal.FilamentAnalysisSpinner generates a
per-(source, plate) UUID, polls the proxy at 1Hz, and mirrors the
inline spinner contents into a separate persistent toast so the
preview slice doesn't feel silent either.
CORRECTNESS FIXES
=================
- MakerWorld imports were persisting URL-encoded filenames verbatim
("stormtrooper-helmet%20h2d.3mf"). Backend now urllib.parse.unquote
s the manifest-supplied name and the URL path-tail fallback before
passing to save_3mf_bytes_to_library; frontend defensively
decodeURIComponent s in the slice toast / analysis spinner so
already-imported rows display cleanly without a backfill migration.
- The fallback path's slice_without_profiles call now forwards the
same request_id + on_progress as the primary slice_with_profiles
call so the toast keeps updating across the segfault -> embedded-
settings retry boundary instead of going blank.
ORCASLICER WARNING
==================
Verified two upstream OrcaSlicer CLI bugs reproduce on the latest
nightly (2.4.0-dev, 2026-04-28) with the help of an isolated AppImage
extract and a minimal sentinel-value-injected cube fixture:
- OrcaSlicer/OrcaSlicer#12426 -- SIGSEGV in
update_values_to_printer_extruders_for_multiple_filaments on
painted multi-extruder 3MFs (commented on the existing thread,
not a new issue)
- OrcaSlicer/OrcaSlicer#13386 -- CLI strict-validates parameter
values BambuStudio writes by default (solid_infill_filament: 0,
tree_support_wall_count: -1, prime_tower_brim_width: -1) and
rejects with exit 238, even though Orca's own GUI tolerates
them (filed by us alongside this change)
Settings -> Workflow -> Slicer card renders an amber inline warning
under the preferred-slicer dropdown when orcaslicer is selected,
linking both upstream issues and recommending BambuStudio until the
fixes land. Option stays pickable -- users who only slice STLs aren't
affected by either bug.
