Palette 2 Firmware Release Notes

Fixes

- Fixed error 301/302 being incorrectly thrown when running Palette Calibration.
- Fixed the Cancel button failing to cancel when loading inputs
- Changed the cutter's home position to prevent filament jamming on the cutter blade.
- Fixed back-up drives not being loaded in certain cases.

-----------------------------------------------

Fixes

- Fixed bug where you're unable to calibrate for the second Palette profile.
- Fixed crashing bug involving long material names over Accessory print.
- Other minor bug fixes.

Improvements

- Added support for S Splice Cores and upgrade kits.
- UI refresh to align with Mosaic ecosystem.
- Added Settings > Preferences > Endurance Mode that modifies splicing algorithms to enhance tube life ''note: Splice Tuning may be required upon enabling this feature.''
- An input's LED will turn off upon runout and will blink when a reload is required.

-----------------------------------------------

Fixes

- Changed behavior of Error 121 (buffer switch triggered incorrectly) from an error message to a warning that will not interrupt the print.

-----------------------------------------------

Fixes

- Multi-spool mode bug fixed to prevent input path blockage seen by some users where filament would not clear the common pathway.
- Hot swapping bug fixed which would lead to incorrect drives being spliced after reloading filament.

-----------------------------------------------

Improvements

- Palette can now splice to manually selected drives when a filament runout occurs. This can be enabled during the filament loading step of Palette's startup sequence, or by using the Change Filament feature. (Runout must be set to Splice to Next Drive in order to take advantage of this feature)
- Added a smart load button to Palette's screen.
- Removed Single Color mode (multi-spool mode can be used in it's place).
- Improved buffer management in multi-spool mode to support faster print speeds.
- Added a warning when Palette's buffer is depleted during a splice.
- Added an error when Palette's buffer is depleted in all other situations.- other small bug fixes and improvements.

-----------------------------------------------

- Fixed a bug where Palette would push the last splice out without buffering when it finished making filament.

-----------------------------------------------

- Multi-spool mode and Single colour mode buffer size bug is fixed
- Other small bug fixes and improvements

- Improved workflow for canceling prints
- Added a user prompt when all 4 spools run out in Multi-spool mode
- Improved Splice Core jam detection
- Error code descriptions added
- Ping/pong offsets appear on Palette's screen briefly after they occur

-----------------------------------------------

- Bug fixes (e.g. Saving values in Splice Tuning will no longer freeze the screen.)

Improvements

- Change filament function: in multi-spool mode and otherwise, when one drive runs out and is disabled, you can re-enable it by using the "Change Filament" function on Palette's screen during a print. You can also use the Change Filament function during other prints to create prints with more than four colors!

- Each Palette 2 now supports multiple Palette profiles to better support Multi-material printing (e.g. one profile for TPU, one for rigids)

- Advanced users: You can now manually change the Loading Offset and Historical Modifier values on Palette 2's screen.

- Reset your tube count to help keep track of when to change your Splice Tubes.

- Reduced ponging frequency in the first metre of printing

-----------------------------------------------

Fixes for two known bugs. Please use the updated Firmware updater (V1.1.2). If using an older version of the updater, please update to V1.1.2 before proceeding with the firmware update.

- Fixes a bug in other print modes (non-calibrated prints) that caused buffer to collapse or over-expand.
- Fixes a bug where incorrect colour was shown in the loading instructions when the first splice was not drive 1.

-----------------------------------------------

- Fixed a communication issue where Palette 2 would occasionally create an incorrect splice (wrong length or color) causing streaks in otherwise clean prints. (This may not fix all streaks, but it should eliminate many—especially for those printing with consistent machines.)
- Fixed a primary source of issues where printing with Palette 2 in Connected Mode could cause Palette 2 to freeze during "Initializing."

- Improved the instructions during the process of starting a print. (Updated graphics, confirmation screens, new buttons to indicate "point of no return".)

-----------------------------------------------

- Fixed a SW movement bug that broke pinging when side transitioning
- Fixed a bug where the HM would not save after the first print with a printer
- Fixed a bug where certain files with all caps names were not shown in the file list

- Add a retry when transferring splices fails
- Add a button for users to confirm when the filament has been removed after the last stage of Palette Calibration
- Add support for Multi-spool Mode without Printer
- Made buffer target 10cm
- Handle the last filament running out gracefully in Multi-spool mode

-----------------------------------------------

This update addresses the No Pings detected bug in connected mode prints.

- Fixed an issue that showed the could not calibrate screen after every connected mode print

-----------------------------------------------

This firmware update makes major changes to the first run with a printer, hopefully making it easier for users to have a successful first print. Two major breakign bugs were fixed. One of which was the buffer switch jam issue and the other was a buffer collapse with the buffer light turning on but no frozen screen. Other small bugs were fixed.

- Fix for buffer collapse while screen is not frozen
- Fix for buffer switch jam
- Total pings caught will be displayed in the Print Summary screen
- 5 star rating system is switched to a question with an Ignore/Save button
- Palette detects when No pings were caught on a calibration print
- Factory Reset also resets power automatically
- Printer Profile list does not crash when no profiles are saved
- Added plunger to SPC Calibration
- SPC Calibrations displays old SPC and PPM values
- Better language used in printer profile list to display unset values
- First ping is not reported as 100%
- Help Me Choose button is removed from Onboarding

-----------------------------------------------

In the first firmware update to Palette 2, we address major issues and make small adjustments to make usability better. Major improvements include cancelling a print from Canvas Hub is now functional and running another print without reconnecting or power cycling devices. Users can also start a Connected print from the Palette 2 UI.

• Cancelling in Connected mode
• Cancelling is supported throughout the print startup process
• Running a print after finishing or cancelling a print without reconnecting or power cycling any devices (Applies to both Accessory and Connected modes)
• Start connected print from P2 screen
• Remaining loading distance updates during a splice
• Fix conflicting error numbers
• Negative values in algorithms bug
• Fixed a printer profile bug causing slow speed on first splice
• Pre-set Tube lengths are more accurate
• Custom tube lengths get 5cm added by default
• Single Colour mode works with any drive
