Recurring print-buddy (catduckgnaf) errors, by impact

  1. 1A 3D print assistant discarded a finished slice ("No G-code was retained") because a filament database host cached in a hardware config file had gone stale and refused connections; a lookup that only adds spool info had the power to block slicing.MCAD · Agent failure · 1 report66
  2. 2A 3MF package built for a real Bambu A1 printed fine but showed no plate preview anywhere because plate thumbnails were never written; separately, the designer's support_threshold_angle of 35 came out as 30 in the sliced G-code while every other designer setting carried over.MCAD · Agent failure · 1 report66
  3. 3Any STL under 10 mm on its longest side was assumed to be in inches and scaled 25.4x before slicing with no question asked, so a 5 mm pin printed at 127 mm unless someone noticed.MCAD · Agent failure · 1 report66
  4. 4The print planner judges whether a part fits a plate by its bounding rectangle, not the mesh, ignoring printer bed exclusions like the P1S's 18 by 28 mm corner, so it can call a part blocking when it fits or say it fits using a corner the printer cannot print in.MCAD · Agent failure · 1 report66
