[1.1.5] - 2026-05-27

Engravings get smarter — depth that matches your nozzle, the right
flip-axis picked for you, a sanity check that catches text which would
print backwards, and an auto preview of the finished face. Plus:
nozzle wear becomes something Kiln watches across every print, every
printer, every recommendation — heads-up before you print on a worn
nozzle, failure analysis and recovery plans that consider wear, and
material recommendations that flag bad nozzle/filament combos up
front.

Added

  • Engraving depth matches your nozzle. Smaller nozzles get
    shallower carves, larger nozzles deeper ones, so the engraving
    always survives the first layer instead of vanishing into the
    squish. Asking for depth below the floor for your nozzle now
    fails loudly with a clear error.
  • Bottom-face flip picked automatically based on the face
    shape — so the engraving reads correctly when you flip the
    printed part over.
  • Catches mirror-reversed text before you slice. A pure-math
    sanity check on every bottom-face engraving — if any transform
    in the pipeline would print the text backwards, the call fails
    with a fixable error instead of silently engraving backwards.
  • Auto preview of the finished engraving. Render shows what
    the underside will look like after the part comes off the bed.
  • Engraved text doesn't kiss the edges anymore. Default width
    tightened and a margin clamp added so "KILN" on a coaster sits
    comfortably inside the rim instead of hitting it.
  • Heads-up if a print would wear your nozzle out (Kiln Pro).
    Before a print starts, Kiln checks whether finishing this job
    would push the nozzle past its wear limit, and warns if so.
    Warns, doesn't block — your call.
  • Every supported printer feeds the wear model on every print
    (Kiln Pro). Bambu, Moonraker, OctoPrint, Elegoo, and
    PrusaLink all report extrusion anomalies to the wear model.
  • Failure analysis considers nozzle wear (Kiln Pro). When
    the failure symptoms line up with what a worn nozzle would
    cause, wear surfaces as a candidate instead of always pinning
    on bed adhesion or temperature.
  • Material recommendations factor your nozzle (Kiln Pro).
    Asking for an abrasive filament (carbon-fiber, glass-fiber,
    wood-fill, or metal-fill) on a brass nozzle now warns up
    front — brass wears out fast on abrasives. Stainless gets a
    milder caution; hardened steel is the right pairing and stays
    quiet.
  • Recovery plans suggest "replace the nozzle" when that's the
    real fix
    (Kiln Pro) — instead of defaulting to "same
    nozzle, lower temp, try again" when the part actually needs a
    fresh tip.

Changed

  • Renamed the Prusa adapter to prusalink. Update saved
    configs that pin type: prusaconnect. No back-compat alias.

Compatibility

  • Pair with kiln-pro >= 1.1.5 — product cards inherit the new
    engraving engine, nozzle-aware verdicts, and federation opt-in.
