SWMC Lite Custom Pause Routine For P1 Series & Orca Slicer

Change Log

Initial release - Orca Slicer variant of the SWMCL Pause Preset for P1 Series.

- First field test of the SteinSwitch Definition (SSD) architecture; proven here on a narrow feature set before rolling out across the full SWMC codebase in Core 1 three weeks later.
- New pause routine takes over the slicer's inserted pause, preventing the stock routine from dragging purge into the print area.
- 7 SSDs available: swmc_pause_routine, force_spiral_lift_for_pause, lower_bed_on_pause (Orca-exclusive), purge_with_25/50/75_percent_flow, use_hf_nozzle.
- Always-on anti-strip safety fallback at F499 protects standard 0.4mm+ nozzles from filament stripping when no flow-control SSD is enabled.
- Purge flow SSDs calculate dynamically based on filament max volumetric flow, so flow rates adapt to your specific material settings.
- Light-control SSDs (`use_purge_work_light` and `dark_mode`) from the X1C variants are not available. P1 Series does not have the X1C's work light or the logo light addressability; if you also run an X1C, those SSDs are in the X1C variants.

Notes

This is the Orca Slicer release of the SWMCL Pause Preset for the Bambu Lab P1P and P1S. Paste the gcode into the Machine Pause G-code field of your Orca preset and configure via SSD keywords in printer notes.

The P1 Series in Orca gets the marquee feature that makes the SWMCL Pause Preset genuinely useful: `lower_bed_on_pause`. The bed drops automatically when you pause, making room for inserting parts, magnets, or hardware mid-print. The feature is smart about print height; it lowers 100mm for prints under 150mm tall, 50mm for prints 150-200mm, and stays in place for taller prints to avoid collision. Automatically raises back to position on resume.

The full routine also addresses common stock pause problems: purge drags into the print area, no flow control on resume. Each is solved with SSD keywords letting you pick exactly which behaviors you want.

Light-control SSDs from the X1C variants (`use_purge_work_light`, `dark_mode`) are not available in this release. The P1 Series doesn't have the X1C's work light (used for chamber camera illumination on the X1C) and the P1 logo light is not addressable through the same commands. If you want light management during pause, an X1C is required.

If you're already running a full SWMC Machine Preset on your P1 Series, you don't need this; the full preset includes this functionality. This release is for users who want the improved pause behavior without committing to the full machine preset.
