Follow-up to the rack-aware pre-print checks: after the blocking checks
pass, warn (without disabling Send) when the plate needs more matching
hotends than the rack printer currently holds - suggesting rack setup,
a nozzle info refresh, or a re-slice to avoid filament waste - or when
the only matches rely on unreliable nozzle information.
Text-only warning rows; this message board has no refresh or
don't-show-again buttons.
A print sliced for a nozzle that sits in the hotend rack (but is not
mounted) was blocked by the send dialog's mounted-nozzle diameter check,
even though the printer fetches the required nozzle itself (#14685).
Consolidate the three mounted-nozzle gates (_is_nozzle_data_valid,
is_nozzle_type_match, _is_same_nozzle_diameters) into a single
CheckErrorExtruderNozzleWithSlicing fed by s_get_slicing_extuder_nozzles,
which collects the plate's per-extruder nozzle requirements (hybrid
extruders contribute one entry per used sub-nozzle flow). The rack
extruder validates against its whole inventory (mounted + rack) with
guidance to calibrate the rack, refresh nozzle info, or re-slice, and
blocks when toolhead + rack are full (no free slot to stow a nozzle).
Other extruders keep the validity/flow/diameter checks against the
mounted nozzle.
Also add CheckErrorRackStatus, which holds Send while the printer is
still reading the rack hotend information, and judge material hardness
for the rack extruder per dispatch-mapped nozzle as a non-blocking
caution (mounted nozzles keep the blocking gate).
- FilamentMapDialog's manual page understands volume types: a mixed
(Hybrid) extruder shows separate Standard / High Flow drop zones
with live sub-nozzle counts, a validation timer with an inline
error + "set nozzle count" suggestion, and composes a per-filament
volume map on OK (persisted to the plate or globally)
- switching an extruder's Flow type rewrites the affected plate map
entries; plate maps stay sized across filament add/delete/count
changes (values keep their filament, no index shift)
- CLI: manual mapping on multi-nozzle printers synthesizes the volume
map from extruder flow types when absent; nozzle-manual mode
requires explicit maps; computed maps land on the plate so exported
projects carry filament_volume_maps
- filament_nozzle_map joins the project options (selection seeding +
filament-count resizing)
- pot entries for the new dialog strings
All 19 reference fixtures byte-identical; slicing an exported Hybrid
project reproduces its g-code byte-for-byte with the volume map
round-tripped through model_settings.config.
- Print::update_filament_maps_to_config takes filament/volume/nozzle
maps, backfills an empty volume map from extruder types, rebuilds
filament_map_2, re-expands the per-filament variant arrays, and
recomputes retract overrides keyed by resolved slots
- grouping writes its result back in every non-sequential mode;
manual multi-nozzle grouping validates the user mapping and raises a
translatable error on deviation; the engine's concrete volume
assignment is deliberately not merged yet (per-filament arrays are
already consumed by filament id, so materializing High Flow now
would change motion before the layer-aware resolvers land)
- Print::apply treats the three map keys as engine outputs in auto
modes (erased from the diff and adopted), compares them against used
filaments in manual mode, and keeps the pre-expansion snapshot in
sync with the late normalization pass so rebuilt headers reflect the
sliced state instead of resurrecting stale values
- volume/nozzle maps and extruder_nozzle_stats join the invalidation
group of filament_map (wipe tower + skirt/brim)
- PresetBundle composes full configs with an optional per-filament
volume map (plate map, else defaults derived from each extruder's
flow type); project config keeps the map sized across filament
count changes
- PartPlate stores per-plate volume/nozzle maps; Plater injects them
at every slice-composition site (incl. g-code reload and wipe-tower
estimation); BackgroundSlicingProcess reads engine results back to
the plate in auto modes
- per-filament map trust guards relaxed to size-match everywhere now
that every producer sizes the map; single-filament explicit flow
assignments are honored
- tests: grouping volume maps stay concrete, merge semantics of
update_used_filament_values, single-filament override honoring
Motion g-code is byte-identical fleet-wide including Hybrid projects
(19-fixture gate + repro determinism double-slice). Header deltas:
the map keys now dump real values, and stale pre-normalization values
(e.g. enable_prime_tower on single-used-filament prints) no longer
leak into the config block.
An extruder with more than one physical sub-nozzle can hold a mix of
Standard and High Flow nozzles. The Flow dropdown now offers Hybrid for
such extruders (extruder_max_nozzle_count > 1, nil-guarded); grouping
already expands a Hybrid extruder into per-volume nozzle groups from
extruder_nozzle_stats.
- sidebar Flow combo offers Hybrid only for multi-sub-nozzle extruders
- preset lookup treats Hybrid as Standard (presets define no Hybrid
variant); variant strings are never fabricated for it
- printer tab splits a Hybrid extruder into Standard + High Flow rows,
with matching selection-index arithmetic and sync-enable rules
- syncing from a printer whose extruder holds mixed nozzle flows now
selects Hybrid instead of collapsing to the dominant flow type
- send-to-printer flow check: a nozzle-rack extruder validates its
nozzle inventory (mounted + rack) against every needed flow instead
of comparing only the mounted nozzle; mounted-flow lookup is now
per-extruder, fixing an index shift when a nozzle reports no flow
- Hybrid is session-only in app config (stored as Standard), so a
fresh session starts from concrete flow types
Printers whose extruders have a single sub-nozzle (including all
dual-extruder machines without a rack) see no new option and identical
check behavior.
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.
The engine already implements prime_volume_mode (Default/Saving/Fast)
but nothing in the UI could set it, leaving prime-saving unreachable on
multi-sub-nozzle extruders and fast purge unreachable on printers that
support it.
- new PurgeModeDialog with selectable Standard/Fast or
Standard/Prime Saving cards depending on printer capability
- "Purge mode" sidebar button next to Flushing volumes; opens the
dialog and stores the choice in the project config
- printer preset-load gating: button shown only when the printer has
multiple sub-nozzles per extruder or sets support_fast_purge_mode;
stale project values the printer cannot honor reset to Default
- enable fast purge on A2L 0.4 (support_fast_purge_mode), explicit
default 0 in the common machine base
- new dialog strings added to OrcaSlicer.pot
Printers without these capabilities never show the button and their
projects keep prime_volume_mode at Default, so slicing output is
unchanged.
The Filament Track Switch (H2-series accessory, product code O2L-FTS) feeds
every AMS to both extruders through a two-track switch. Port full support
across the device layer, project config, and GUI.
Device / config:
- Model the switch-aware AMS binding (the set of extruders an AMS can feed
and which input track A/B feeds it), switch readiness, the O2L-FTS firmware
module, and the fun2 capability bit for checking a slice against installed
hardware.
- Register has_filament_switcher and enable_filament_dynamic_map as project
config that persists with the project and restores from a saved 3mf, and
force both back to false on every project/printer/CLI load path. Live
device sync is the only thing that sets them true.
GUI:
- Sidebar sync activates the switch from live device state, attributes each
AMS to the extruder its input track feeds, shows a floating status icon
(ready / not-calibrated), and surfaces a one-time tip / not-calibrated
warning.
- Send dialog gains a non-blocking slice-vs-hardware mismatch warning and a
blocking error when a slice needs dynamic nozzle mapping but the switch is
missing or not set up.
- AMS load/unload guards, AMS-view routing glyph + un-calibrated banner +
hidden external-spool road, and mapping-popup external-spool lockout.
- Filament pickers collapse the per-extruder split into a single deduplicated
"AMS filaments" group with a smart-assign toggle when the switch is ready.
- Firmware-upgrade panel lists the O2L-FTS accessory and its version.
- Device-provided filament-change steps (ams.cfs) drive the change-step
display when firmware sends them, including the three switch steps.
- "Load current filament" asks which extruder to feed via a
FeedDirectionDialog when the switch is calibrated.
Inert without the accessory: every path is gated on the switch being
installed (MQTT aux bit 29, default off) or ready, both project flags default
false, and the per-extruder AMS attribution is byte-identical, so AMS state,
the send/load UI, and sliced g-code are unchanged for every printer that does
not report a Filament Track Switch.
