* CLI: evaluate compatible_printers_condition in the compat checks
Slicing from the CLI with --load-settings exits with
CLI_PROCESS_NOT_COMPATIBLE (-17), "The selected printer is not compatible
with the process preset in the 3mf.", for process/printer pairs the GUI
accepts. Reproducible with stock, unmodified Prusa system profiles:
orca-slicer --datadir <datadir> \
--load-settings "<datadir>/system/Prusa/process/0.20mm SPEED @CORE One HF 0.4.json;<datadir>/system/Prusa/machine/Prusa CORE One HF 0.4 nozzle.json" \
--load-filaments "<datadir>/system/Prusa/filament/Prusament PETG @CORE One HF 0.4.json" \
--slice 0 --outputdir /tmp/out model.stl
The four compat checks in CLI::run did a literal name match against the
`compatible_printers` list only:
for (index ...) if (new_print_compatible_printers[index] == new_printer_system_name)
process_compatible = true;
Process profiles that declare compatibility through
`compatible_printers_condition` and leave `compatible_printers` empty are
therefore always reported incompatible -- the condition is never consulted.
For 0.20mm SPEED @CORE One HF 0.4 that condition is:
printer_notes=~/.*PRINTER_MODEL_COREONE[^_a-zA-Z0-9].*/ and
nozzle_diameter[0]==0.4 and printer_notes=~/.*HF_NOZZLE.*/
The GUI does not have this bug: is_compatible_with_printer() in Preset.cpp
treats an empty list as "no explicit constraint" and evaluates the
condition in that case.
Fix: replace the four loops with a check_compat lambda that calls
is_compatible_with_printer() -- the same helper the GUI uses -- wrapping
the already-loaded DynamicPrintConfigs in lightweight Preset /
PresetWithVendorProfile shells. The 3MF-embedded process/printer full
configs are kept in current_process_full_config /
current_printer_full_config so the condition can be evaluated for the
reprocess paths too; those fall back to the previous literal match when
the full config was not preserved.
Behaviour is unchanged where an explicit compatible_printers list exists:
is_compatible_with_printer() performs the same name match, and returns
true when both list and condition are empty, matching the existing
"old 3mf, no compatible printers, set to compatible" path.
Split out of #13731 (section 1) as a standalone, single-purpose change.
Orthogonal to the inherits-chain resolution work in #14718 / #15302 /
#15438; those decide which values a preset resolves to, this decides
whether the resulting pair is considered compatible.
* CLI: translate the 3MF's renamed compatibility keys before the compat check
The 3MF fallback fed the project config to is_compatible_with_printer() as-is,
but a project config does not carry compatible_printers or
compatible_printers_condition. PresetBundle::construct_full_config() erases both
and re-emits them as print_compatible_printers and
compatible_machine_expression_group; they are renamed back only on the
PresetBundle load path, which the CLI does not take. The check therefore saw no
list and no condition, read that as 'no constraint' and accepted every printer.
That is not just a wrong accept. An early true skips the !process_compatible
block that sets machine_switch, so the new printer is never appended to
print_compatible_printers and the exported 3MF stays marked compatible only with
the printer it came from -- which is exactly what that block exists to prevent.
Translate the two keys back before the check. Index 0 of the expression group is
the print preset; the group is filled print, filaments, printer.
Also note in the comment that profiles/BBL/{process,machine}_full/ are gitignored
and generated by nothing in-tree, so current_*_full_config is always empty and
this fallback is the only live path -- not the rare non-BBL case the original
comment implied.
Reported with measurements by HanifKoh in review of #15449.
Preset: add a config-level is_compatible_with_printer() overload
The CLI holds resolved DynamicPrintConfigs, not Presets, so it wrapped them in
throwaway Preset shells at the call site. Moving that into Preset.cpp puts the
compatibility policy -- including the documented fail-open on a malformed
compatible_printers_condition -- in one place for the GUI and the CLI, rather
than leaving a second copy of the plumbing in OrcaSlicer.cpp to drift.
Purely additive: neither existing overload changes, so no GUI behaviour moves.
Requested by HanifKoh in review of #15449.
(cherry picked from commit 14ca1972ef4d3c7d90935d159423013a40a6bd70)
* CLI: never overwrite a real compat key with an empty renamed one
7e7f0e3 translated compatible_machine_expression_group[0] into
compatible_printers_condition whenever the group vector was non-empty. A project
the CLI exported itself carries the real compatible_printers_condition AND an
all-empty group, ["", "", ""], so the valid condition was overwritten with
"", the check saw no constraint, and every printer was accepted.
That fixed GUI-shaped projects and broke CLI-shaped ones. Bisected across six
builds re-slicing one CLI-exported CORE One project with an MK4S: every build
before 7e7f0e3 gives 'compatible 0' and takes the machine-switch path; with it,
'compatible 1' and no switch.
The raw keys now win whenever they carry something; the renamed ones are only a
fallback, and an empty value is never written over a real one. Same for the list:
print_compatible_printers is used only when compatible_printers is absent or
empty and it itself is not.
Found by a peer session re-testing the installed build.
Validate mixed-filament definitions during the published material pass: definitions whose components reference slots that do not exist or hold other mixed filaments, or that carry fewer than two components, are reported through the shared skipped_keys channel instead of shipping a mix the GUI integrity check would only flag later.
Fix the slot-limit exhaustion report being silently dropped: it wrote to published_config->skipped_keys, which the pass's final move-assignment from the local vector clobbers. All rejections now go through the local.
Remove the unreachable persist branch from add_detached_preset: no caller passes save_to_project=false, so the parameter is gone and the copy is always project-embedded.
Tests: cover the exhaustion path, the new definition validation, the identity-tier matching matrix (including substitute reporting), the structural-key denylist, whole-vector size-mismatch skips, relocation payload degradation, the "(Published 2)" uniquify chain, mixed blend colours staying out of shared preset configs, and duplicate-slot last-wins. Also fix the legacy-3mf scenario passing vacuously behind an if-guarded assertion. All existing published/3mf tests pass unchanged.

* Add a bit more tests
* Merge branch 'main' into feature/cache_profiles_and_optimize_loading_speed
* Rvert from per-verndor to single cache file
Replace N per-vendor .cache files with a single system_presets.cache
that holds all vendors and presets in one serialized blob.
Cache load is now all-or-nothing: on hit all vendors are applied from
the bundle (sub-second); on miss all vendors are parsed from JSON and
a fresh bundle is written to the user cache dir.
Invalidation is driven by bundle_key - a sorted concatenation of all
vendor JSON version strings. Any vendor update invalidates the whole
cache and triggers re-parse on next launch.
Guide wizard (WebGuideDialog) loads the bundled cache into a plain
PresetBundle instead of a separate VendorGuideData struct, removing
the duplicate data model.
generate_system_cache simplified from a per-vendor loop to a single
save_system_presets_cache() call producing one output file.
* Transfer all Preset fields from cache via move assignmet
apply_vendor_preset_group was copying fields manually and missed
bundle_id, user_id, base_id, sync_info, updated_time, key_values,
ini_str. Replace field-by-field copy with move assignment of the
fully-deserialized Preset, then restore the vendor pointer which
is excluded from serialization.
* Ignore cache for future
* Remove not used files
* Ship one preset cache per vendor in place of the profile JSONs
Each vendor's system presets serialize into a single <vendor>.opc built at
package time, and a shipped build carries that file alone — the profile JSON
and its sub-file tree are pruned. The vendor loader, the setup wizard's profile
list and the resource installer all read a vendor through its cache, falling
back to parsing whenever one is absent, stale or unreadable, so the cache stays
an optimization and never a source of truth. Caches hold presets in source form
and resolve inheritance at load, through the same code the JSON path uses.
* Make the preset cache self-describing and load each vendor from the system folder alone
The cached DynamicPrintConfig is keyed by name, through a per-file dictionary of the
distinct opt_keys, the type each was written as, and the distinct enum value names,
instead of by serialization_key_ordinal — a position assigned by declaration order at
static init, where inserting one option shifts every later ordinal and the lookup then
succeeds on the wrong option. Because a name-keyed payload drops the options this build
cannot place rather than being rejected wholesale, the schema fingerprint goes, and with
it the two fallbacks that existed only because an installed cache died on every app
upgrade: the second lookup tier into resources/profiles and the parse fallback to the
same place. A vendor is loaded from <data_dir>/system/ and nowhere else, as on main —
which is what makes the app write its .opc files there again.
* Simplify the preset cache internals after review
* Use the shared temp-dir helper in the preset bundle loading test
* Bound stamp string reads in the preset cache
* Speed up the setup wizard with a profile-data cache
The wizard's per-vendor fast path threw on vendors present only in
resources, falling back to a ~29 s raw JSON scan on every open. Each
vendor now loads from the directory it was found in, and the derived
model/machine/filament/process catalog is cached whole in
<data_dir>/cache/wizard_profile_data.json, stamped by each vendor's
name and version - a fresh cache makes an open one file read, with no
bundle built and no presets installed (~0.2 s vs ~2 s).
* Remove debug SVG dump from a geometry test
* Move the per-vendor cache file format into PresetCacheFormat

Adds a printer option that picks up the new tool without a blocking temperature
wait, travels to the wipe tower, and waits there right before purging, parked
beside the tower so the ooze from the heat-up lands next to it rather than on the
model. The incoming filament's target is raised ahead of the tool change, so the
heat-up overlaps both the change itself and the travel to the tower.
Off by default, and only offered for multi-extruder printers using a Type 2 wipe
tower; the generic toolchanger profile enables it.
* update snapmaker profiles. largely ported for Snapmaker Orca fork
* update prime volume
* set precise_outer_wall to 1
* Update per-material multi-tool ramming to the filament library
* Add per-filament overrides for toolchange retraction
* Set toolchange retraction per filament for Snapmaker U1
* set default support type to tree
* format snapmaker profiles
# Description
Changing a slicing plugin's configuration had no effect on the sliced
result until you forced a re-slice some other way; it now applies
immediately. Print, printer and filament presets also keep their plugin
configuration separately, so configuring a plugin on one no longer wipes
out what you set on another.
A plugin's custom configuration page gets the same round of improvements
in both the Plugins dialog and the per-preset dialog: it follows the
app's light/dark theme, keeps its state while you edit instead of
resetting under the cursor, and can tell whether it is being edited
globally or for a preset, so "Restore defaults" can be labeled for what
it will actually do. The two bundled examples show this off — Twistify
now ships a custom configuration UI, and Inspector is themed, groups

## Problem
On H2C (carousel) printers, the wipe tower purge volume calculation in
`_make_wipe_tower()` tracks filament state **per-extruder** (2 slots).
Since H2C has up to 7 carousel nozzle slots on a single extruder, all
filaments sharing that extruder are collapsed into one tracking slot.
This causes:
Test:
[5cubes.3mf.zip](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/30092551/5cubes.3mf.zip)
- **Massive redundant AMS flushing** every filament change on the
carousel triggers a full purge against the "previous" filament, even
when the target nozzle slot already has the correct filament loaded
- **60.9g total weight** instead of ~17g (**3.5× material waste**)
- **3h09m print time** instead of ~1h57m (**60% longer**)
## Root Cause
The code uses `nozzle_cur_filament_ids[extruder_id]` (a 2-element array)
to track which filament was last used for each extruder. BambuStudio
uses `NozzleStatusRecorder`, which tracks per `group_id` (physical
carousel slot 0..6).
## Changes
| File | Change |
|---|---|
| `Print.cpp` | Replace `nozzle_cur_filament_ids` with
`NozzleStatusRecorder`. Use `get_nozzle_for_filament()` to resolve the
physical carousel slot per layer. Select `filament_prime_volume_nc` for
nozzle changes, `filament_prime_volume` for filament changes. |
| `PrintConfig.hpp` | Add `ConfigOptionFloats filament_prime_volume`
(per-filament EC prime volume, missing from upstream but present in BBS
and H2C profiles) |
| `PrintConfig.cpp` | Register `filament_prime_volume` with default
45mm³ (matching BBS) |
| `Preset.cpp` | Add `filament_prime_volume` to preset keys |
Also includes `tests/compare_analyzer/` - two standalone Python tools
for G-code slice comparison and temperature timeline analysis (stdlib
only, no dependencies).
## Test Results (5-color H2C Hybrid print, same 3mf project)
| Metric | Upstream (broken) | **Fixed** | BBS (reference) |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Total weight** | 60.90g | **16.20g** ✅ | 17.47g |
| **Print time** | 3h09m | **1h57m** ✅ | 1h51m |
| **Filament changes** | 105 | 105 | 140 |
| **Tool changes** | 35 | 35 | 35 |
| **Critical discrepancies vs BBS** | ⚠️ YES | ✅ None | — |
## Analysis Tools (`tests/compare_analyzer/`)
Two standalone Python tools (stdlib only, no dependencies) for deep
G-code comparison:
- **`compare_slices.py`** - comprehensive .3mf slice comparison:
filament usage, nozzle mapping, tool change sequences, prime tower
analysis, temperature timeline, retract parameters, and automatic
critical discrepancy detection (weight/time anomalies)
- **`show_temp_plot.py`** - interactive HTML temperature timeline
plotter for visualising heater profiles during multi-nozzle prints
(supports single-file and side-by-side comparison)
Usage:
```bash
python3 tests/compare_analyzer/compare_slices.py file1.3mf file2.3mf --labels "Upstream" "Fixed"
python3 tests/compare_analyzer/show_temp_plot.py file1.3mf file2.3mf

## Compatibility
Safe for non-carousel printers: when each extruder has a single nozzle,
`group_id == extruder_id`, so `NozzleStatusRecorder` behaves identically
to the original per-extruder tracking. The `filament_prime_volume`
default (45mm³) matches the existing global `prime_volume` default.
## Reference
BambuStudio `Print.cpp` `_make_wipe_tower()` L3341-3392 -
`NozzleStatusRecorder` pattern.
The preset option was plugin_preference_overrides while the GUI field type
that renders it was GUIType::plugin_config, for one and the same thing.
Settle on "config": the store, the dialog and the Python hooks all say config
already, so renaming that way touches 4 files instead of the whole plugin
subsystem and the public plugin API.
Keep the _overrides suffix — the option is the preset's override layer over
the base PluginConfig store, a distinction EffectiveCapabilityConfig tracks.
Also wrap the printer tab's group heading in L(); it was the only one of the
three missing it, and was therefore untranslatable.
The upstream _make_wipe_tower() tracked purge volumes per-extruder (2 slots),
which collapsed all H2C carousel filaments into one slot and caused massive
redundant AMS flushing (~40g instead of ~0.4g).
Changes:
- Print.cpp: Replace per-extruder nozzle_cur_filament_ids with BBS
NozzleStatusRecorder that tracks per group_id (carousel slot 0..6).
Use get_nozzle_for_filament() to resolve physical slot per layer.
Select filament_prime_volume_nc for nozzle changes, filament_prime_volume
for filament changes (BBS pattern).
- PrintConfig.hpp/cpp: Register filament_prime_volume (per-filament EC prime
volume, default 45mm³) matching BBS PrintConfig.
- Preset.cpp: Add filament_prime_volume to preset keys list.
Safe for non-carousel printers: group_id == extruder_id when each extruder
has one nozzle, so NozzleStatusRecorder behaves identically to the original
per-extruder tracking.

Resolve five conflicts, all of which needed both sides rather than a pick:
- BackgroundSlicingProcess: ours was a pure tabs->spaces reformat of base, so
keep main's per-filament volume/nozzle map read-back (its only change here).
- GUI_App: main's #12506 else-if attached to an `if` this branch deleted;
re-expressed onto the same-agent early-return path (the agent factory caches
per id, so pointer equality is the same predicate).
- MainFrame: both sides relocated Sync Presets independently; keep main's
push_notification plus the branch's Plugins menu items.
- Tab: the "TODO: Orca: Support hybrid" blocks were unchanged base, not a branch
decision; take main's enabled Hybrid to match the already auto-merged siblings.
- test_config: union of both sides' cases (6 plugin + 9 multi-nozzle).
* Fix issue that switching printer profile is slow.
`wxGetApp().get_tab(preset_type)->select_preset(preset_name);` is called twice when switching printer profiles. Only one needed.
* Avoid unnecessary type conversion & function call during printer profile switching:
- Don't call `config->opt_string("printer_model")` repeatedly
- Use ref when possible during iterating
- Avoid unnecessary `wxString` to `std::string` conversion
G-code post-processing is now a step of the slicing-pipeline plugin rather than a
separate capability type. One capability class can transform slices at the geometry
seams AND edit the final G-code, behind a single picker/option.
- Add SlicingPipelineStepPlugin::psGCodePostProcess (bound as
orca.slicing.Step.psGCodePostProcess). Unlike the geometry steps it fires from the
GUI export path in PostProcessor.cpp, not from Print::process(): ctx.print/ctx.object
are None and the plugin edits the file at ctx.gcode_path in place. It may run more
than once per slice (file export and/or upload) and its output is not shown in the
preview.
- Extend SlicingPipelineContext with gcode_path/host/output_name and a C++-only
full_config; config_value() falls back to it when there is no live Print.
- PostProcessor.cpp dispatches SlicingPipelinePluginCapability at psGCodePostProcess,
driven by the existing slicing_pipeline_plugin option.
- The exported G-code lives outside data_dir(), so the plugin audit sandbox would
block the write; the trampoline's audit setup grants ctx.gcode_path's folder as a
scoped allowed root, gated on a non-empty gcode_path so the geometry-step hooks gain
no extra filesystem access.
BREAKING CHANGE: the separate G-code post-processing capability type is removed.
- orca.gcode.GCodePluginCapabilityBase and orca.PluginType.PostProcessing are gone;
post-processing plugins migrate to orca.slicing.SlicingPipelineCapabilityBase +
Step.psGCodePostProcess (and gain ctx.params / ctx.config_value()).
- The post_process_plugin config option is removed; use slicing_pipeline_plugin.
Presets carrying the old key degrade to the standard unknown-key warning.
- Manifest type = "post-processing" now maps to Unknown (advisory only; the loader
dispatches on the C++ get_type()).
Also repairs two latent build breaks the branch carried: stale Step enum value usages
in test_slicing_pipeline_hook.cpp and a reference to the removed
ConfigOptionDef::PluginType::None in Tab::on_value_change (now is_plugin_backed()).
Adds the orca_gcode_stamp sample plugin and a psGCodePostProcess binding test.
cooling_filter_enabled existed as a config option but was shown nowhere,
and there was no capability flag to gate it. The cooling filter and air
filtration are alternative accessories sharing the same duct, so a
printer declares one or the other.
- new hidden printer capability flag support_cooling_filter
- "Use cooling filter" toggle in the Accessory group, shown only when
the printer supports it; the air-filtration toggle hides in that case
(no vendor restriction: third-party printers keep air filtration)
- explicit defaults (0) in the common machine base
- H2C declares support_cooling_filter=1 instead of support_air_filtration;
its start-gcode already carries the cooling-filter conditional, so the
toggle is functional. On H2C this drops the two exhaust-fan lines that
air filtration emitted for ABS-class filaments, matching the printer's
actual duct accessory; H2C is new on this branch so no existing user
output changes.
Printers without the flag keep exactly the previous accessory UI and
g-code.
New printer option fan_direction (undefine/left/right/both, default
undefine) declares which side the auxiliary part-cooling airflow comes
from. When set and the printer has an auxiliary fan, auto-orient adds a
yaw rotation so the dominant overhang area faces the airflow, and newly
added primitive shapes are pre-oriented the same way (except the Cube,
whose axis-aligned bounding box the pressure-advance pattern calibration
depends on).
- FanDirection enum + fan_direction printer option (Accessory group,
enabled only with auxiliary_fan)
- orient engine: weighted overhang areas per candidate, yaw-direction
search, vertical rotation applied on top of the primary orientation;
the cooling weights are taken from the candidate actually chosen,
including the flat-bottom tie-break
- orient_for_cooling() for primitive placement
- set fan_direction=left on H2C/H2D/H2D Pro/X1/X1E/P1S 0.4 profiles
(X1C/H2S/P2S/X2D/Qidi X-Max 4 already carried the key, which now
takes effect)
With fan_direction unset or no auxiliary fan the vertical rotation stays
identity and auto-orient results are unchanged; slicing and g-code are
never affected.
