The clamps and validation work from estimates. Once the tower is
generated, _make_wipe_tower re-tests the exact first-layer footprint,
brim and cone base included, against the printable area and the
exclusion zone, so an off-plate tower fails with a clear error instead
of exporting unprintable G-code. The rectangle-wall mesh footprint
learns the Type2 cone base so that check and the post-generation
validation see the real outline.
Pre-generation, validation hard-checks the body plus an explicit brim
and warns on the estimated auto brim and cone base with the existing
"may collide" strings, so the user hears about a marginal position on
the first slice rather than only at generation time.
Two fff_print fixtures that print a tower at the default position move
it onto the 200 mm test bed, as the multifilament fixtures already do:
the shipped default y of 220 is off that bed, and the backstop now says
so instead of exporting the tower.
The shared estimate reserved every tower with one volume-per-purge rule
and the stability floor. Both planners do more: WipeTower (Type1) wipes
each filament's own prime volume in whole lines, one block per
adhesiveness category sized by its worst layer, rams the leaving
filament at every nozzle change, and squares a rib tower from the
planned depth; WipeTower2 (Type2) spaces its lines by
wipe_tower_extra_spacing, not the Type1-only infill gap, and its extra
flow cancels out of the depth. Both extend the ribs rather than the body
below the stability minimum, size every layer including a thinner first
one, and lay the brim in whole loops, WipeTower reporting half a spacing
of line width on top.
All of that now lives in estimate_wipe_tower_footprint, fed the planner
(resolve_wipe_tower_type mirrors Print::wipe_tower_type and the CLI's
Bambu Lab detection) and the filament ids rather than a count. Print
passes its own tool set; the PartPlate adapter derives the plate's ids
from the passed config and treats an explicit count as a floor, so the
CLI's count-only callers size per filament too. The placement clamp also
reserves a Type2 cone's base bulge, which the body box does not cover.
The planner-mirroring helpers sit beside the planners in WipeTower and
WipeTower2 so the two stay in sync; the libslic3r cases pin them to
footprints measured from generated G-code.
A raft is not a reason to reserve a tower. Print::apply runs
normalize_fdm_2, which clears enable_prime_tower for a plate that purges
one filament unless smooth timelapse or wrapping detection is on, so a
single-filament plate with a raft prints no tower at all and the estimate
was reserving bed area for one. Drop the input; need_wipe_tower is now
exactly the two exceptions normalize_fdm_2 honours, named there so the
next reason added has to be checked against it.
The GUI preview and the validation containment check each re-derived
"is a tower printed here" from the filament count instead of reading the
estimate, so both missed the towers printed with no tool change to purge
for. They now take the answer from the footprint, which is the drift this
shared estimate exists to remove. A tower that is not printed estimates to
zero, so its hull is degenerate and every check on it passes trivially -
the containment check needs no gate of its own.
WipeTowerData::width was written only by the pre-generation estimate and
left at zero for the whole post-generation life of the Print, while its
neighbour depth held the real value. Set it from the generator in both
branches.
The plate's height scan transformed every model part's full mesh per
instance on each scene reload, discarding all but the z extent. The
cached convex hull has the same z extent.
A plate loaded from a sliced .gcode.3mf holds no objects and its filaments
live in slice_filaments_info; the config-taking get_extruders overload
returned an empty list for it, which sized the tower for a placeholder two
filaments. It now answers the way the wx overload does, without reaching
the plater.
Also drop estimate_wipe_tower_size, which has no callers.
The placement clamps and the tower-approach router both stood in the bed's
bounding box for the bed itself, so on a delta or hexagonal bed the prime tower
could be parked in a corner that does not exist and the nozzle could be routed
across it. Both now test the real printable outline, slicing reports a tower
that does not fit instead of printing it off the bed, and a tower parked near an
edge is routed along the clamped side rather than falling back to a straight
line across the tower.
Also fixes the placement validation rotating the tower hull by degrees read as
radians about the plate origin, and never rotating the generated tower footprint
at all.
The wipe tower's "Delay after unloading" never happened on Klipper. It was
emitted as G4 S<seconds>, and Klipper's G4 reads only the P parameter, in
milliseconds, so the pause was silently skipped. The option now produces a
dwell Klipper actually performs.
Also corrects the planner flush rationale, which cited an extruder position
reset that Klipper resolves at parse time and does not need synchronized, and
adds end-to-end coverage that slices a two-filament print and checks the
emitted wipe tower G-code on both a Klipper and a non-Klipper flavor.
No change to any other firmware flavor's output, and no shipped profile sets a
non-zero delay, so no shipped profile's output moves either.
The wipe tower emitted G4 S0 to make the firmware finish its queued moves
before commands that must not take effect early. Klipper's G4 reads only the
P parameter, so that flush never happened there and a temperature change could
land seconds ahead of the moves it was meant to follow. Klipper now gets M400
instead, through one helper shared by both wipe tower implementations.
No change to any other firmware flavor's output, so no shipped profile or saved
project is affected.
