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.
The sidebar hid Settings based on hardcoded role === 'user' instead of
the settings:read permission, and login set user state directly from the
response instead of re-fetching full auth status with permissions.
The "Power off printer when done" checkbox in the print modal and the
auto power off tri-state toggle in the bulk edit modal were accessible
to all users regardless of permissions. Users without printers:control
can now no longer enable auto power off — controls are disabled and
visually dimmed.
The bed cooldown monitor was defined at the end of on_print_complete,
after an early return that exits when no archive is found. Prints
started from BambuStudio or the printer's touchscreen have no archive,
so the function returned before the bed cooldown task was ever created.
Moved the bed cooldown block (function def + task creation) to before
the archive_id early-return so it fires for all completed prints.
Also hardened the temperature dict check from truthiness to isinstance.
Three related fixes in PrintersPage.tsx:
1. External spool (vt_tray) fill level was missing the AMS remain
fallback — only checked Spoolman/inventory, ignoring valid AMS data.
Now uses the same fallback chain as regular and AMS-HT slots.
2. When fill was unknown (null), slot visual showed a full-width gray
bar ("full") while the hover card showed "—" ("empty"). Removed the
misleading gray fallback bar from all three slot types so both views
consistently show "unknown".
3. Fill source priority always preferred AMS remain over Spoolman and
inventory, even when those sources were more accurate (e.g. spools
with usage tracking or migrated from Spoolman). Reversed priority to
Spoolman → Inventory → AMS remain. Fixed fillSource label to reflect
the actual data source (was always 'ams' even when using fallback).
constructor before the try/except, so the FileNotFoundError was unhandled and crashed the entire daemon via asyncio.gather().
Now when the scale hardware isn't available (no /dev/i2c-0), it logs "Scale init failed" and sets self._ok = False, so scale_poll_loop will skip polling with "Scale not
available, skipping scale polling" — same graceful degradation the NFC reader already has.
External spool assignments (ams_id=255) were silently deleted on every
AMS change because _find_tray_in_ams_data only searches AMS units, not
vt_tray. Now looks up external assignments in the printer's vt_tray data
instead, and preserves assignments when vt_tray hasn't arrived yet.
On H2C/H2D dual-nozzle printers, tray_now=254 is sent generically for both
external spools. The direct ID comparison always matched Ext-L (id=254),
never Ext-R (id=255). Now uses active_extruder to disambiguate: extruder
1 (left) → Ext-L, extruder 0 (right) → Ext-R.
Previously the Inventory sidebar item was hidden when Spoolman was
enabled. Now it always shows — when Spoolman is active, /inventory
embeds the Spoolman web UI in the content area via iframe; when
disabled, it renders the internal inventory page as before.
When a printer has pending queue items and is in FINISH/FAILED state
awaiting plate clearing, a yellow dot now appears on the Printers
sidebar icon. Uses useQueries to check statuses of printers with
pending queue items from the existing WebSocket-warmed React Query
cache — no new backend endpoints or additional polling needed.
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)

SpoolBuddy turns a Raspberry Pi 4B with a PN5180 NFC reader and
NAU7802 scale into a filament management station that integrates
with Bambuddy via REST API and WebSocket.
Backend: SpoolBuddyDevice model, 10 REST endpoints (/spoolbuddy/*),
6 WebSocket broadcast types, background offline-detection watchdog.
RPi daemon: asyncio service with concurrent NFC polling (300ms,
MIFARE Classic + Bambu HKDF key derivation), scale reading (10 SPS,
5-sample moving average, stability detection), and 10s heartbeat
with exponential backoff reconnect.
Frontend: kiosk-optimized 1024x600 UI at /spoolbuddy with Dashboard
(live weight + NFC spool detection), AMS Overview, Inventory,
Printers, and Settings pages. useSpoolBuddyState reducer hook
driven by WebSocket CustomEvents.
i18n: all 6 locales (en, de, fr, it, ja, pt-BR).
Group toggle in inventory toolbar collapses identical unused/unassigned
spools into expandable rows/cards with count badges. Grouping key uses
material, subtype, brand, color, and label weight. Brand and subtype
fields now appear in quick-add mode as optional (no asterisk, no
validation). Quantity field restricted to quick-add mode only.
When the 3MF source file wasn't downloaded from the printer (e.g. FTP
failure on P2S), archive.file_path was null. The finish photo capture
silently skipped because it derived the save directory from file_path.
Now falls back to archive/{id}/ directory and logs a warning.
The rename endpoint updated `filename` but not `file_metadata.print_name`,
which the UI uses as the primary display name. Since print_name is extracted
from the 3MF at upload, it always took precedence over the renamed filename.
Now also updates print_name in file metadata when present.
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.
Two bugs caused spool assignments to always configure AMS slots with
generic Bambu filament IDs (e.g. GFB99 "Generic ABS") instead of the
spool's actual slicer preset:
1. PFUS* IDs (cloud-synced custom presets) were blanket-rejected and
replaced with generic IDs in both assign_spool and configure_ams_slot
2. Generic fallback IDs (GFB99, GFL99, etc.) were treated as "good"
presets by the slot-reuse logic, making them sticky once set
New priority: spool's own slicer_filament > slot's non-generic preset
(same material) > generic fallback.
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
When FTP download of a 3MF fails (e.g. BambuStudio-initiated prints),
the fallback archive has file_path="". Path.exists() on
settings.base_dir / "" resolves to the base directory itself and
returns True, so ZipFile() then fails with [Errno 21] Is a directory.
Replace .exists() with .is_file() across all 15 archive route checks
and 1 in main.py. Add file_path truthiness guard for finish photo
capture to prevent saving photos under the base directory.
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.
Add Quick Add mode to the spool form for simplified entry (material +
color + weight only), and a quantity field (1-100) for creating multiple
identical spools at once. Stock spools (no slicer profile) are computed
rather than stored — any spool without slicer_filament shows an amber
"Stock" badge. New filter chips (All/Stock/Configured) on the inventory
page. Backend bulk endpoint creates N spools in one transaction.
Backend:
- SpoolBulkCreate schema with quantity validation (1-100)
- POST /inventory/spools/bulk endpoint
Frontend:
- Quick Add toggle in SpoolFormModal (create mode only)
- Quantity field in FilamentSection (both modes)
- bulkCreateSpools API method and bulkCreateMutation
- Stock column (hidden by default) and stock filter chips
- Inline error rendering moved into FilamentSection
- CellCtx extended with t() for translatable cell content
Tests:
- 13 backend tests (schema validation + endpoint logic)
- 10 frontend tests (validateForm quickAdd + UI behavior)

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.
When a print was started from BambuStudio (not Bambuddy), the
auto-archive has an empty file_path. The photo save code uses
base_dir / Path("").parent which resolves correctly, but the
serve/upload/delete endpoints used (base_dir / "").parent which
goes one directory level too high — returning 404 despite the
photo existing on disk.
