The print scheduler had two code paths for queue items: model-based
(target_model set) and printer-specific (printer_id set). Only the
model-based path computed ams_mapping before starting the print. VP
queue items assigned to a specific printer went through the
printer-specific path with null ams_mapping, causing the printer to
default to the first AMS slot regardless of what the 3MF required.
Add _compute_ams_mapping_for_printer() call to the printer-specific
path, matching the existing model-based behavior.
When a virtual printer auto-queued a file, PrintQueueItem was created
without plate_id. The scheduler defaulted to plate_id=1, generating
MQTT path "Metadata/plate_1.gcode". For multi-plate 3MF files sliced
on a different plate, the printer couldn't find the gcode and returned
HMS error 0500_4003. Extract plate index from the 3MF's slice_info.config
before creating the queue item.
Virtual printer "print_queue" mode created queue items with no printer
assignment. Now sets target_model from the VP's SSDP model code (e.g.
P1S, X1C) for "Any Printer" scheduling, or uses target_printer_id if
configured.
Settings page auto-save onSuccess overwrote localSettings with the
server response, discarding characters typed during the save request.
Removed the stale state overwrite so in-progress input is preserved.
When scheduling a print to "any printer" with a filament color override,
the scheduler picked a printer with the correct filament type but wrong
color. _find_idle_printer_for_model() used color matching only for
ranking candidates, not filtering — a printer with 0 color matches was
still selected if it had the right types.
Now requires at least 1 color match when filament overrides specify
colors. Printers with 0 matches are skipped and reported in the
"waiting for filament" reason instead of being treated as candidates.
Three independent code paths wrote to archive.cost with conflicting
strategies, causing the same model to produce different prices on each
reprint (e.g. £0.77, £1.54, £2.03).
- Remove add_reprint_cost (Path 3) — redundant cost accumulation that
double-counted on top of usage tracker
- Fix usage tracker (Path 2) — compute cost from current session's
results only, not a SUM of all historical SpoolUsageHistory rows
- Remove _reprint_archives tracking set from main.py
- Update test mocks to match simplified query pattern
archive.cost now always reflects the cost of a single print.
All backend timestamps used datetime.now() (server local time) or the
deprecated datetime.utcnow(). The frontend's parseUTCDate() assumes
timestamps without timezone indicators are UTC and appends 'Z', so
stored timestamps were off by the timezone offset when the container's
timezone wasn't UTC.
Backend: replaced datetime.now() and datetime.utcnow() with
datetime.now(timezone.utc) across 16 files (~80 call sites) for all
database fields and DB comparisons. Cosmetic timestamps (filenames,
user-facing local time formatting) intentionally left as local time.
Frontend: replaced 13 new Date(backendTimestamp) calls with
parseUTCDate() across 8 files to correctly interpret UTC timestamps.
H2D firmware reports stg_cur=74 during print preparation, which was
not in the STAGE_NAMES lookup table (sourced from BambuStudio, which
only goes up to 66). This caused "Unknown stage (74)" to display on
the printer card. Also adds stage 77 ("Preparing AMS") which exists
in BambuStudio source but was missing from the lookup.
When scheduling a print to "any printer" (model-based assignment),
users can now override the 3MF's original filament choices per slot.
The override dropdown shows compatible filaments loaded across all
printers of the selected model, filtered by type and nozzle (H2D).
The scheduler matches against overridden type/color instead of the
original 3MF values, preferring printers with exact color matches.
Backend:
- New GET /printers/available-filaments endpoint (aggregates loaded
filaments across printers of a model, includes extruder_id for
dual-nozzle nozzle-aware filtering)
- New filament_overrides JSON column on print_queue table
- Scheduler applies overrides before AMS mapping, clears tray_info_idx
on overridden slots so color matching takes priority
- Printer selection prefers printers with most override color matches
Frontend:
- New FilamentOverride component with per-slot override dropdowns
- Type-filtered options (PLA slots only show PLA)
- Nozzle-aware filtering (H2D: only shows filaments on correct extruder)
- Integrated into PrintModal for model-based queue mode
Tests:
- 11 backend unit tests (color match counting, override application)
- 12 frontend tests (rendering, type/nozzle filtering, interactions)
i18n: All 6 locales (en, de, fr, it, ja, pt-BR)
The MQTT "fun" field is an integer in the JSON payload, but the
parser used int(value, 16) which requires a string. This raised
TypeError on every message, silently swallowed by the except clause,
so developer_mode was never set.
Parse the MQTT "fun" field bit 0x20000000 to detect whether connected
printers have Developer LAN Mode enabled. Show a persistent orange
warning banner when any printer lacks it, since newer firmware silently
rejects MQTT write commands without developer mode.
- Parse fun field into developer_mode on PrinterState
- Add /printers/developer-mode-warnings lightweight polling endpoint
- Include developer_mode in printer status API and support bundle
- Orange banner with affected printer names and wiki link
- Translations for all 6 locales (en, de, fr, it, ja, pt-BR)
- 7 backend + 4 frontend tests
P2S firmware sends local slot IDs (0-3) in tray_now, not global tray
IDs, when multiple AMS units are connected. The UI highlighted the
wrong AMS unit (e.g., AMS-A instead of AMS-B). Usage tracking was
unaffected because it uses the MQTT mapping field.
Added disambiguation in _handle_ams_data for single-nozzle printers
with ams_exist_bits indicating >1 AMS: cross-references tray_now with
the MQTT mapping field (snow-encoded) to resolve the correct global
tray ID. Falls back to raw value when no mapping is available or
ambiguous. No behavior change for single-AMS printers or dual-nozzle
(H2D) printers.
Three bugs allowed uploaded gcode files to survive on the printer's SD
card, causing firmware restarts to auto-start old prints hours later.
1. The post-print cleanup retry loop always broke after attempt 1
regardless of delete success — delete_file_async returns False on
failure instead of raising, so the except-based retry never fired.
2. When start_print() failed after uploading, the file was never cleaned
up since on_print_complete never fires for prints that never started.
3. Cleanup failures were logged at DEBUG level, invisible in production.
When a spool runs empty mid-print and the AMS auto-switches to a backup,
the entire print weight was attributed to the original spool. Track tray
changes during the print via tray_change_log on PrinterState, then split
the 3MF weight across trays using per-layer gcode segment boundaries at
print completion. Falls back to linear layer-ratio splitting when gcode
data is unavailable.
ntfy servers with attachments disabled reject thumbnail uploads with
"attachments not allowed" (HTTP 400 / code 40014), causing the entire
notification to fail. Now automatically retries without the image so
the notification still gets delivered.
The log sanitizer only used regex patterns, missing arbitrary user-chosen
strings (printer names, usernames). Tasmota smart plug credentials were
logged verbatim in URLs by httpx.
- Make _sanitize_log_content() database-aware: query Printer names/serials,
User usernames, and Bambu Cloud email for exact-string replacement
(longest-first, skip <3 chars to prevent over-redaction)
- Fix serial regex leaking first 3 chars (remove capture group partial
redaction), add case-insensitive flag
- Move Tasmota credentials from URL-embedded (http://user:pass@host) to
httpx auth= parameter so they never appear in logs
- Add URL credentials regex as defense-in-depth for user:pass@ in logs
- Add 'username' and 'path' to settings sensitive_keys filter (catches
smtp_username, slicer_binary_path in support-info.json)
When sending notifications with image attachments (progress/error
events), the message body was placed in an HTTP Message header. Messages
containing newlines (e.g. "Printer: file.stl\nRemaining: 4h 52m") were
rejected by httpx since HTTP headers cannot contain newline characters.
Escape newlines to literal \n which ntfy renders as line breaks.
MQTT raw data returns AMS unit and tray IDs as strings (e.g. "0"),
but _build_loaded_filaments() compared them to integers without
casting. After the scheduler assigned an idle printer to an "Any
Model" job, it crashed computing AMS mapping with:
'>=' not supported between instances of 'str' and 'int'
The exception prevented the assignment from committing, so the
scheduler retried every 30 seconds in an infinite loop. The job
stayed in "Waiting" and the "Clear Plate" button kept reappearing.
Cast ams_id and tray_id to int(), matching the pattern already used
for external spool IDs on line 550.
When a spool ran empty during a print and the AMS auto-switched to a
backup, on_ams_change eagerly deleted the SpoolAssignment (fingerprint
mismatch). on_print_complete then queried the now-deleted assignment
and silently dropped usage.
Snapshot all spool assignments into PrintSession at print start. At
completion, prefer the snapshot over live DB queries in both the 3MF
primary path and the AMS remain% delta fallback. Fall back to live
query for backward compatibility with in-flight sessions started
before upgrade.
The MQTT callback thread checked self._pending_kprofile_response before
calling .set(), but the asyncio thread could clear it to None between
the check and the use (TOCTOU race after get_kprofiles() timeout).
Capture the event reference in a local variable to eliminate the race.
This allows users sending particularly large prints to slow printers such as the P1-series to start a print and then move onto another task in Bambuddy immediately (such as starting more prints on more printers). It also gives the user visibility into what's happening instead of a loading indicator appearing for an indefinite period of time.
The new toast-based UI uses websockets to update in real time. It will also appear for other users / instances of Bambuddy, not just the user who started the prints, allowing more transparency and handling cases where the user closes the page and then comes back wanting to know the status of the dispatching.

When the snow field hadn't arrived yet, the ams_extruder_map fallback
computed ams_id * 4 + slot for AMS-HT units (128-135), producing
invalid tray IDs like 512+. AMS-HT has a single slot; global ID = unit
ID.
- Single-AMS fallback: return ams_id directly for AMS-HT (128-135)
- Multi-AMS matching: decompose AMS-HT trays correctly (slot=0)
- Multi-AMS narrowing: slot > 0 eliminates AMS-HT candidates
- last_loaded_tray: tighten to valid IDs only (0-15, 128-135, 254)
- Add 10 tests for AMS-HT fallback and last_loaded_tray validation

The printer only sends PAUSE via MQTT gcode_state, never PAUSED.
Removed all unreachable PAUSED comparisons from frontend (4 files)
and backend (2 files).
Library files are stored on disk with UUID-hex filenames for uniqueness,
but archive_print() used the disk path as the display name. Pass the
original LibraryFile.filename through from both the print scheduler and
direct-print-from-library flow so the archive's filename, print_name,
and directory name all use the human-readable name.
Add color-matching fallback for slot-to-tray mapping on printers that
don't provide the MQTT mapping field (snow encoding) or reject request
topic subscription. Matches 3MF filament slot colors against AMS tray
colors to resolve the correct physical tray. Returns no match when
colors are ambiguous (duplicate tray colors) to safely fall through
to existing fallbacks.
Mapping priority chain: print_cmd → MQTT snow → queue → color match →
tray_now → slot_id-1.
On dual-nozzle printers (H2C, H2D Pro) with multiple AMS units, usage
tracking attributed filament consumption to the wrong spools. The MQTT
mapping field — a snow-encoded array mapping slicer slots to physical
AMS trays — was preserved in state but never parsed.
Add _decode_mqtt_mapping() to convert snow encoding (ams_hw_id * 256 +
slot) to bambuddy global tray IDs. Insert as priority 2 in the mapping
resolution chain, after print_cmd ams_mapping but before queue/tray_now
fallbacks. Works for all printer models and print sources.
AMS-HT trays (IDs 128-135) are single-slot units, but the snow_slot
computation used `snow_tray % 4 if snow_tray < 128 else -1`, yielding
-1 for AMS HT. This caused a misleading "slot mismatch" debug log on
every MQTT update despite producing the correct tray_now value. Now
returns slot 0 for AMS-HT IDs (128-135), matching the firmware's
tray_now=0 for these single-slot units.
P2S (and X1C) with multiple AMS units incorrectly entered the H2D
dual-nozzle tray_now disambiguation code path, causing warning log
spam. The check `tray_now <= 3` matched any printer loading from
AMS 0. Now uses a persistent `_is_dual_nozzle` flag detected from
device.extruder.info (>= 2 entries), which only dual-nozzle printers
(H2D, H2D Pro) report. Flag is set early in message processing so
it's available before AMS data is parsed.
Recent BambuStudio/OrcaSlicer updates require a bind/detect handshake on
port 3000 before connecting via MQTT/FTP. Without this, slicers cannot
discover or connect to the virtual printer in any mode.
- Add BindServer for server modes (immediate/review/print_queue)
- Add TCPProxy for raw TCP forwarding (proxy mode)
- Update Dockerfile (EXPOSE 3000) and docker-compose.yml (bridge port)
- Add 10 new tests for BindServer protocol and integration
Some printer MQTT brokers (e.g. P1S) reject subscriptions to the request
topic by killing the TCP connection, causing a disconnect loop. The request
topic subscription for ams_mapping capture is now fail-safe with two
detection paths:
- SUBACK rejection: on_subscribe callback detects failure code 0x80
- Broker kills connection: on_disconnect detects disconnect within 10s of
unconfirmed subscription attempt
After detection, the request topic is disabled for that printer and
reconnection succeeds with only the report topic. Printers that support
the request topic (e.g. X1E, H2D) get ams_mapping capture; printers that
don't (e.g. P1S) gracefully degrade to tray_now-based tracking.
Subscribe to the MQTT request topic (device/{serial}/request) to intercept
print commands from any source (BambuStudio, OrcaSlicer, Bambu Handy, or
Bambuddy itself). Captures ams_mapping from project_file commands and passes
it through print start/complete callbacks. Fixes wrong tray attribution on
H2D Pro when prints are started from external slicers.
Usage tracking works on X1E but fails on H2D Pro — the wrong tray
is identified, attributing usage to the wrong spool. The root cause
is unknown because we don't know what MQTT mapping data each printer
model reports.
Adds INFO-level logging at print start and completion:
- state.raw_data["mapping"] (unknown format, preserved but never parsed)
- tray_now, last_loaded_tray values
- All raw_data keys containing "map" (discovery)
- Per-AMS-tray summary: tray_type, tray_color, tray_now, tray_tar
This enables comparing MQTT behavior across printer models without
requiring DEBUG mode, so testers can send normal logs.
Three fixes for inventory spool usage not updating after prints:
1. Store ams_mapping from print command (reprint, library print, queue)
so the usage tracker maps 3MF slots to the actual physical trays
the user selected, not the default slicer mapping.
2. Track last_loaded_tray on printer state — the last valid tray_now
(0-253) seen during printing. On H2D printers, tray_now is always
255 in AMS data; the real tray resolves via snow field ~44s after
print start but reverts to "unloaded" at completion. The fallback
chain is: tray_now_at_start > current tray_now > last_loaded_tray.
3. Use color similarity (Euclidean RGB distance, threshold 50) instead
of exact hex match for auto-unlink fingerprint checks. RFID sensors
report slightly different shades across reads (e.g. distance ~43.6
for the same spool), causing false assignment unlinks after prints.
When a print was queued from the file manager (library_file_id path),
the scheduler never created an archive or called register_expected_print().
This forced on_print_start to re-download the 3MF via FTP, and if that
failed, a fallback archive with no file was created — breaking 3MF-based
filament usage tracking entirely. The queue item's archive_id also stayed
NULL, so the usage tracker couldn't find the AMS slot mapping.
Now the scheduler creates an archive from the library file before uploading,
sets item.archive_id, and the existing register_expected_print() call fires
since archive is no longer None.
Add a "Clear Errors" button to the HMS error modal that sends
clean_print_error via MQTT and locally clears hms_errors for
immediate UI feedback. Useful for dismissing stale print_error
values that persist after print cancellation or transient events.
Pushover and Discord already received print thumbnails, but Telegram
and ntfy only got text. Telegram now uses sendPhoto with the image as
a caption attachment. ntfy sends the image as a binary PUT with
Filename/Message headers. No config changes needed.
The duplicate badge on archive cards only matched by content hash,
so re-sliced prints of the same model (different GCODE, same name)
were not flagged. Now also matches by print name (case-insensitive),
consistent with the detail view's find_duplicates() logic.
The firmware update cache stored downloaded files under a mangled name
(e.g. X1C_01_09_00_10.bin) instead of the original filename from
Bambu Lab's CDN. On cache hit the wrong filename was uploaded to the
printer's SD card, so the printer couldn't find the firmware file.
Now caches with the original filename so it's always correct.
Add a chronological, table-based print log as a 4th view mode in the
Archives page. Log entries are stored in a separate print_log_entries
table — clearing the log never touches archives or queue items.
Backend:
- New PrintLogEntry model with independent table
- GET /print-log/ endpoint with search, printer, user, status, date filters
- DELETE /print-log/ clears only log entries
- Thumbnail serving endpoint for log entries
- write_log_entry() service called on print completion
- Auth: ARCHIVES_READ for viewing, ARCHIVES_DELETE_ALL for clearing
Frontend:
- New 'log' ViewMode with ClipboardList icon toggle
- Filterable/searchable table with pagination (10/25/50/100 rows)
- Colored status badges, duration formatting, filament color swatches
- Clear button with confirmation modal
- All filter state persisted to localStorage
- i18n: EN, DE, JA, FR, IT translations
