<p dir="auto">If you own an H2C, H2D or P2S and your archived prints show a name and<br />
timing but no thumbnail, filament usage or cost, here is what is<br />
happening and what to do about it.</p>
<p dir="auto">Bambuddy reads a print's 3MF off the printer over FTP on port 990. On<br />
every Bambu model that port serves external storage only - the SD card<br />
or USB stick. It is not a view of the printer's whole filesystem.</p>
<p dir="auto">Bambu Studio's Print button sends sliced files to the printer's internal<br />
memory on the newer generation, so there is no file on the card for<br />
Bambuddy to read. Measured with the same Studio, the same model file and<br />
three printers a minute apart, all with a stick inserted and "Store sent<br />
files on external storage" enabled:</p>
<p dir="auto">H2C  -&gt;  brtc://emmc/&lt;name&gt;   archive: name and timing only<br />
H2D  -&gt;  brtc://emmc/&lt;name&gt;   archive: name and timing only<br />
X1C  -&gt;  ftp://&lt;name&gt;         archive: complete</p>
<p dir="auto">The printer-side toggle does not influence this in either direction. I<br />
also verified the reverse: turning it off changed nothing.</p>
<p dir="auto">What works</p>
<ol>
<li>Start the print from Bambuddy. It uploads to the card itself, so the<br />
archive is complete on every model.</li>
<li>Slice in OrcaSlicer. It always uploads over FTP. It will refuse to<br />
send with an empty slot rather than silently using internal memory.</li>
<li>Stay in Bambu Studio: use Send with External selected, then start the<br />
print from the printer screen, from Handy, or from Studio's device<br />
page. The storage picker exists only in Send; Print offers no choice.</li>
</ol>
<p dir="auto">All three need a card or stick in the printer. X1 and P1 series are<br />
unaffected - Studio already uses external storage there.</p>
<p dir="auto">Can the internal copy be recovered?</p>
<p dir="auto">No. The printer will list what is in its internal storage but refuses to<br />
serve those files back, so a print already sent there cannot be archived<br />
after the fact.</p>
<p dir="auto">One bug of mine, fixed in the next daily</p>
<p dir="auto">Starting a print from a file already on the printer - a reprint from the<br />
touchscreen, from Handy, or the Send-then-print flow above - was being<br />
treated as internal storage since 14 August, so Bambuddy stopped looking<br />
even when the file was sitting on the card. That affected every model.<br />
If you have seen empty archives on an X1 or P1 in the last few days,<br />
this was the cause.</p>
