71
72
  `stats.lift_layers` (pad + elevation), and a request the port does not cover (hollowing, organic trees)
72
73
  surfaces as a typed error instead of a wrong print.
74
+ An `.sl1` can also be OPENED (file picker or drag & drop). This viewer's own exports carry a SCENE sidecar
75
+ (`Metadata/threeslicer_scene.bin`: the model STL plus the support and pad meshes the preview was showing, ~3%
76
+ of the archive), so reopening one shows the exported surface ITSELF — no reconstruction, nothing approximated,
77
+ and the whole import lands in ~0.3s. A foreign SL1 has no such record, and there its SHAPE is reconstructed
78
+ from the masks —
79
+ every layer streamed through surface nets in workers (six producers turning masks into occupancy slices, one
80
+ sequential consumer sweeping them). It runs in TWO passes: a quarter-resolution one lands a real shaded mesh
81
+ in well under a second, then the full one replaces it (measured 0.7s and 4.2s on a 1095-layer archive), at the archive's own layer height in z and ~0.12mm
82
+ in xy, with the anti-aliased mask grays interpolated for sub-voxel edges and both the surface and its normals
83
+ relaxed (the layer ripple a mask grid leaves behind is largely a shading artefact) — and shown as a solid mesh on the
84
+ selected plate, with the layer slider section-cutting it like any sliced result. While the reconstruction
85
+ runs a translucent stack of sampled masks stands in, until the coarse pass replaces it.
86
+ Colours: a mask records what cures, not which pixels were model, support or pad — so this viewer's own
87
+ exports carry a role sidecar (`Metadata/threeslicer_roles.bin`, the support/pad segments per layer; every
88
+ other consumer ignores the unknown member) and reconstruct in the sliced preview's three colours. A foreign
89
+ SL1 has no such record and reconstructs in one colour. Opening one applies what the archive states —
90
+ `printer_technology` first of all, then the exposure family, the layer height and the pixel grid read off a
91
+ mask header — so a file opened in a fresh FFF session switches the whole route to SLA instead of stranding
92
+ resin masks on a filament bed. The one number it cannot supply is the display's PHYSICAL size: millimetres
93
+ appear nowhere in an SL1, so the preview is scaled by the printer set in the viewer and the import notice says
94
+ so. Export hands an imported archive back byte-identical rather than re-rasterizing empty geometry.

  - **`gcode`** — G-code text drawn on the selected plate instead of a slice result. `parseGcode` recovers roles from
74
96
  `;TYPE:` (OrcaSlicer/PrusaSlicer/Cura), from `;_EXTRUSION_ROLE:` tags and from this kernel's own feature comments;
75
97
  bead width comes from `;WIDTH:` or, absent that, from E. What the file never states cannot be recovered: an
76
98
  unmarked run reads as wall, and there is no print-time estimate (that needs the machine's acceleration limits).
99
+ - **`sl1`** — the SLA half of that contract: an `.sl1` archive (`File`, raw bytes, or `{name, data}`) rendered as a
100
+ raster preview on the selected plate, again without starting the kernel. It routes into the same import the
101
+ picker and a drop use, so it behaves identically — including the two things `gcode` does not do: it writes the
102
+ archive's own job description into your `settings` (`printer_technology` among them, per the paragraph above),
103
+ and it reconstructs a surface from the masks in the background. Set both and the G-code wins; one plate holds one
104
+ artifact. It re-injects on the value's IDENTITY, so hold the File in state rather than rebuilding it each render.
105
+ - **The move scrub** (`panels.moveBar`) — the horizontal counterpart of the layer slider, under the canvas in
106
+ Preview: the vertical one picks WHICH layers are shown, this one walks inside the top one. It is upstream's
107
+ sequential view (`GCodeViewer`'s `update_sequential_view_current`) in this viewer's terms. On an FFF result it
108
+ cuts that layer at a move — extrusions and travels together, in the order the printer performs them, which the
109
+ two draw lists do not store and `moveCursor` recovers — and marks where the nozzle is: a solid cone at the
110
+ current position and a translucent one where the layer ends. Both are fixed SCREEN size and drawn over
111
+ everything, because a marker that scales with the scene is a speck zoomed out and a marker that respects depth
112
+ is buried in the bead it is pointing at. Position changes reach the host as the `moveScrub` event.
113
+ FFF only, and deliberately: mSLA cures a whole layer in one exposure, so a resin layer has no intra-layer
114
+ order to walk — the same conclusion upstream reaches, PrusaSlicer's SLA preview having a layer slider and no
115
+ horizontal one.
116
+ - **`files`** — content imported once on mount, through the same extension dispatch as a drop: models and 3mf
117
+ projects, `.sl1` archives, and preset files. Mount-only on purpose — a host that rebuilds the array each render
118
+ must not re-import its models; runtime loading stays with the picker and drop.
119
+ - **`sliceRequest`** — the host's Slice button: a token whose identity change requests one slice of the current
120
+ plate. The mount value is inert, so hold a counter in state and bump it. Ignored under the same conditions
121
+ the built-in slice bar is not pressable (empty scene, an injected `gcode`/`sl1` plate); a change during a
122
+ running slice cancels and re-slices, so the last request wins.

132
+ it is measured around the call, not reported by the kernel.
133
+
134
+ `sliceRate` is live throughput — layers finished per second over a 250ms window, `0` between slices, and shown in
135
+ the slice bar as well. When it appears depends on the technology, because the two publish per-layer news at
136
+ opposite ends of the run:
137
+
138
+ - **SLA** reports it throughout: its progress counter is linear in layers. (Its layer *stream* is not usable for
139
+ this — `slice_sla` builds the whole scene and then drains the sink, measured as 1095 layer messages inside a
140
+ 22ms burst at the end of a 2.8s run, which would time the drain rather than the slicing.)
141
+ - **FFF** reports it once the emission pass starts streaming layers. PASS1 publishes per-mille of itself rather
142
+ than a layer count (the total only arrives when it ends), and surfaces and support publish nothing per layer,
143
+ so there is nothing to measure before that and nothing is invented. Measured on a 38MB model: a 4.0s slice,
144
+ 2.8s of it PASS1, the rate shown for the final 0.6s. On a support-heavy model emission is a much larger share.
145
+
146
+ The whole-slice figure is `throughput` on `onSliced`, and it is present on both technologies — wall milliseconds,
147
+ the kernel's own share, layers/second, and ms per million segments. It reads lower than the live figure whenever
148
+ the live one covers only part of the run.

- - **Models enter through the UI only** — the file dialog or drag and drop. A host cannot hand a mesh in, and cannot
227
- remove or transform one. What it *can* do is watch: the `objects` event reports `{id, name, extruder, visible}`
228
- for every object as the set changes.
229
- - **Slicing is triggered from the UI or by `defaultAutoSlice`**, which unlike the in-app toggle also performs the
230
- first slice — that is what makes a panel-less embed able to slice at all. The result arrives on `onSliced`.
310
+ - **Models enter through the UI, or once at mount through `files`** — after mount, runtime loading stays with the
311
+ file dialog and drag and drop. A host cannot remove or transform an object, or hand a mesh in mid-session. What
312
+ it *can* do is watch: the `objects` event reports `{id, name, extruder, visible}` for every object as the set
313
+ changes.
314
+ - **Slicing is triggered from the UI, by `defaultAutoSlice`, or by bumping `sliceRequest`** — a token prop whose
315
+ identity change requests one slice of the current plate (the mount value is inert), which is what a host with
316
+ the built-in chrome hidden wires its own Slice button to. The result arrives on `onSliced`.
317
+ - **The prime tower stand-in appears only when the plate actually changes tools** — objects assigned to more
318
+ than one extruder, or material paint reaching extruder 2 or higher. Loading a second filament is not enough:
319
+ with everything on T1 the slice emits no tool change and builds no tower, so drawing the box would promise one.
320
+ - **A settings change discards every slice result.** Everything a slice puts on screen — the toolpaths, the stats
321
+ card, the layer slider, the G-code export — describes the settings it ran with, and none of it says so. So when
322
+ a value in `settings` changes, the results are dropped and the viewer returns to Prepare; with `autoSlice` on
323
+ the re-slice then fills the empty preview. Two exceptions, neither of which claims to be a slice of these
324
+ settings: a plate injected through `gcode` / `sl1`, and an opened `.sl1` archive (that import applies the
325
+ archive's own settings, so invalidating on it would erase what the file was opened to show). Comparison is by
326
+ value, so a host that rebuilds its settings object every render does not lose its preview to it.
