SteinWipe Motion Control For P1 Series & Orca Slicer SSD

Change Log

Initial release - First Core 1 release for Bambu Lab P1 Series on Orca Slicer.

- SteinSwitch Definition (SSD) architecture replaces Core 0's inline SteinSwitch toggles. 42 SSDs across all gcode sections; zero gcode editing required for configuration.
- Template Custom G-code workflow: insert wipe cycles at specific layers via Orca Slicer's layer slider right-click menu. Wipe pattern lives in one place; cleanly reused across manual and automated wipes.
- New: dynamic purge flow control. Flow percentage SSDs (25/50/75/125%) calculate based on filament max volumetric flow; speeds adapt to your material settings automatically.
- New: steinretraction levels (low, med, max). Separate keywords for ChangeFilament and End gcode sections.
- New: pause on purge bucket overflow. Three size options (small/med/large) for unattended operation.
- New: automated layer wipe cadences. Schedule wipes every new, every other, every third, or every fourth layer.
- New: AMS routing detours (steinwipe, snake, reverse_wipe). Alternative travel paths for specific print geometries.
- DABL (Dynamic Auto Bed Leveling) is now enabled by default for all users. Previously gated behind the use_DABL SteinSwitch in Core 0; now always on via G29 A1 parameter. Works on any P1 firmware that supports DABL; falls back to standard ABL on firmware that doesn't.
- Community contributions baked in: ignore_fan_cover_alarm SSD from Discord contributor OldSalty3D. Additional contributor credits in the manual.
- Same-day release with BBS_P1 Apr.28.1.2025. Both variants share the same 42-SSD core feature set.
- 42 SSDs total: 27 in Start, 19 in ChangeFilament, 6 in Pause, 4 each in End/LayerChange, 2 in TimeLapse.

Notes

This is the first Core 1 release for the Bambu Lab P1P and P1S on Orca Slicer. Core 1 is the SteinSwitch Definition (SSD) architecture revolution; where Core 0 required you to edit gcode to toggle features, Core 1 detects keywords in your printer notes and configures itself.

If you're coming from the ORCA_P1 Feb.15.1.2025 Core 0 beta, this release preserves every feature you had and adds substantially more. Note that the Orca Core 0 line never received a Feb.15.2 stable successor; development attention shifted to Core 1 during what would have been that release. This Apr.28.1.2025 release is the direct continuation of the Orca P1 line.

One notable change for P1 users: use_DABL is no longer a SteinSwitch. The DABL Dynamic Auto Bed Leveling capability is now on by default for all users via the G29 A1 parameter. On compatible P1 firmware, you get the better leveling behavior automatically; on firmware that doesn't support DABL, it silently falls back to standard ABL without error. No configuration needed.

The X1C Core 1 variant has 7 SSDs that don't apply to the P1 Series (work light, dark mode, LiDAR integration SSDs). These are silently absent from the P1 SSD list; P1 users see only the 42 SSDs that apply to P1 hardware.

The BBS P1 Core 1 variant has one additional SSD (link_mech_test_to_scan_first_layer) that coordinates mech test timing with Bambu Studio's first-layer-scan checkbox. Orca handles mech test timing natively, so that SSD isn't needed in this release. If you run both Orca and BBS P1 releases, your Orca printer notes don't need this keyword.

Full user manual is linked in the Resources section above. The manual covers all 42 SSDs with typical configuration examples for common workflows.
