    H2-series and P2S: incomplete archives when printing from Bambu Studio

    If you own an H2C, H2D or P2S and your archived prints show a name and
    timing but no thumbnail, filament usage or cost, here is what is
    happening and what to do about it.

    Bambuddy reads a print's 3MF off the printer over FTP on port 990. On
    every Bambu model that port serves external storage only - the SD card
    or USB stick. It is not a view of the printer's whole filesystem.

    Bambu Studio's Print button sends sliced files to the printer's internal
    memory on the newer generation, so there is no file on the card for
    Bambuddy to read. Measured with the same Studio, the same model file and
    three printers a minute apart, all with a stick inserted and "Store sent
    files on external storage" enabled:

    H2C -> brtc://emmc/<name> archive: name and timing only
    H2D -> brtc://emmc/<name> archive: name and timing only
    X1C -> ftp://<name> archive: complete

    The printer-side toggle does not influence this in either direction. I
    also verified the reverse: turning it off changed nothing.

    What works

    1. Start the print from Bambuddy. It uploads to the card itself, so the
      archive is complete on every model.
    2. Slice in OrcaSlicer. It always uploads over FTP. It will refuse to
      send with an empty slot rather than silently using internal memory.
    3. Stay in Bambu Studio: use Send with External selected, then start the
      print from the printer screen, from Handy, or from Studio's device
      page. The storage picker exists only in Send; Print offers no choice.

    All three need a card or stick in the printer. X1 and P1 series are
    unaffected - Studio already uses external storage there.

    Can the internal copy be recovered?

    No. The printer will list what is in its internal storage but refuses to
    serve those files back, so a print already sent there cannot be archived
    after the fact.

    One bug of mine, fixed in the next daily

    Starting a print from a file already on the printer - a reprint from the
    touchscreen, from Handy, or the Send-then-print flow above - was being
    treated as internal storage since 14 August, so Bambuddy stopped looking
    even when the file was sitting on the card. That affected every model.
    If you have seen empty archives on an X1 or P1 in the last few days,
    this was the cause.
