Thanks

You have 2 ways to access it (if anybody knows a better way, please advise):

  1. If you have a USB stick installed and have selected “store sent files on external storage” in printer options in bambu studio, the file sent to print is on your USB stick.
    a. Insert your USB stick on your PC, you will find your file (xxx.3mf) at the root of your USB stick. The .3mf is actually a zip file, so extract it using your zip extractor. There will be one folder named “metadata”, in it will be a plate_1.gcode which is the gcode of your file that you can read with any text editor (notepad if on windows).

  2. You don’t have a USB stick installed or you want to do it without having to go to the USB, read it etc…
    a; Before you click print in bambu studio, select “export plate sliced file” and click on it, it will export the .3mf on your PC where you can do the same as above. select now print and click. The file on your PC will be the same as the file sent to print.

Thank you! This is a big help.

Is the Gcode for the H2 series documented somewhere?
Would be nice to have a command reference.

Or does this require reverse engineering?

Your best reference is probably here.

Thanks! That is definitely a good start.

I guess that the H2 series has introduced a lot of new ones in relation to the second nozzle.

Is it possible to unzip, edit the gcode, rezip, and then print it? Will that work? Or will the printer reject the edited code?

Welcome to the forum.

It is possible. Heck out my post about this.
