Print Plate in BS Overwrites Files in Internal Storage #1107

Open CCS86 opened 1 year ago

CCS86 commented 1 year ago

Even when the new job has a unique name, initiating a print from BS overwrites the last user job in the internal memory.

Why are sample files preserved and actual user jobs overwritten? Why can we only have one user job stored on the printer for fast access?

Hello

thanks for reporting this bug

which printer are you using?X1/X1C or P1P and which studio version and printer firmware are you using?

and did you have a sdcard plugged in when printing?

CCS86 commented 1 year ago

It is an X1C

Yes, I have an SD card installed for time lapses.

Firmware is 1.03 BS 1.4.0.18

lanewei120 commented 1 year ago

the internal memory only saves the current print job and the history jobs will be saved in sdcard we can find them on printer and print again from printer

is this what you want?

CCS86 commented 1 year ago

Is there a reason that history jobs cannot be stored on the internal memory?

Storing on the SD card would be okay, but that is not happening.

Maybe the fact that my primary computer is on our LAN and the X1C is on our WIFI network, and these are on different subnets, is causing files not to be stored correctly on the SD card? I'm still not sure I understand that network limitation.

When you send a print job the printer itself should move the last print job to the SD card.

@sodachen22 Could you give more explanations on this logic on printer side?

sodachen22 commented 1 year ago

@CCS86, In the latest firmware, the 3MF for the printed job is in SD card. And there is only one history printed job through cloud is kept in internal memory.

CCS86 commented 1 year ago

It is not though.

The only print file on my SD card is a gcode file I manually copied there via computer. I have sent many jobs via BS and none appear on the SD card.

sodachen22 commented 1 year ago

@CCS86 Are your firmware are latest and the SD card have enough free space?

CCS86 commented 1 year ago

Yes.

sodachen22 commented 1 year ago

The lastest firmwre is still in beta testing.

CCS86 commented 1 year ago

Before the 1.04 FW release, my printer started storing some print jobs to the SD card. But for some reason, most of them are not being retained.

Here is my SD card contents:

But my print job history has over 40 prints in it.

Even since updating to 1.04, the behavior has not changed and my most recent job has not been moved to the SD card. It is still sitting in the internal storage, with the wrong name:

Is there any history print in "Print Cache" sheet?

CCS86 commented 1 year ago

Is there any history print in "Print Cache" sheet?

Not for me. It is always empty.

I think the only time jobs go there is if it is already printing and you send a new job.

sodachen22 commented 1 year ago

@CCS86 There is an option for print cache here, is it enabled? Is there cache directory created in SD card? image

sodachen22 commented 1 year ago

I think the only time jobs go there is if it is already printing and you send a new job. Yes, this function is caching 3MF of the printed job which is printed through cloud service after "Cache cloud print file to MicroSD card" is enabled. It is not syncing print history of from the cloud service.

I'm not near the printer right now, but in Bambu Handy and Bambu Studio, I do not have that option. Both end with "auto-recovery from step loss"

I'm not near the printer right now, but in Bambu Handy and Bambu Studio, I do not have that option. Both end with "auto-recovery from step loss" The option is only on the screen of the printer now. One of the reasons is Handy/Studio does not support browsing and printing 3MF on the SD card of the printer remotely.

CCS86 commented 1 year ago

Even with that option enabled, my print jobs are not reliably accumulating on the SD card.

sodachen22 commented 1 year ago

The total cache file number and size are limited. Would you please take a look at the description of this feature in the release notes? https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/x1/manual/X1-X1C-AMS-firmware-release-history image

CCS86 commented 1 year ago

That's fine if you want to limit the "print cache" to 8 files, but why can we not have an option to keep a running history of all prints on the SD card, if we have plenty of space to do so?
