Greetings! How do you export the print file data similar to 3D Print Log. I was told it was under File—>Export---->Export Preset Bundle, but when I select any of the option it states I must select a printer or filament. No clue what that means, I have already printed several time so I have a printer and filament.
Hi. Looking forward to helping you with this, if I can.
I’ve looked about but cannot find any reference to “3D Print Log” in any of the slicers I know of. Would you mind explaining what you want to see in this file?
You may be looking for a higher level log, such a list of prints completed to date or the like. Alas, at this time, although the slicer clearly does keep such a database of previous prints, I am unaware of any means of exporting that data.
If you are looking for a detailed list of commands sent to the printer during a given print, then the raw gcode output fromt he slicer may be what you’re looking for. To get that, you can use the little down-arrow on the “Print Plate” button to change its function to “Export plate sliced file”. Then click the button to actually perform the export to a .gcode file.
I generally try to avoid replying without definitive answers but in case, well I hope that helps and that I have not wasted your time.
Hi. Thanks for the assist. Apologies, I thought I put the link in the post. I like to keep the details of my print. The website is 3dprintlog.com and when you make file in slicers like Ultimaker, it can send the print log to this website. It will include all the .stl file info, the quality parameters, information about the filament and the printer settings.
Here is a portion of a text file that is captured:
Settings:
Quality
Layer Height: 0.2 mm
Line Width: 0.4 mm
Walls
Wall Line Count: 2
Top/Bottom
Top Thickness: 0.8 mm
Bottom Thickness: 0.8 mm
Infill
Infill Density: 20%
Infill Pattern: cubic
It is possible “see” the parameter in Bambu, but I would rather avoid manually copying out the data. Hopefully, this makes more sense
Unfortunately Bambu’s posture is that of a closed architecture. To use their CEOs words, “walled garden”.
One could explore the MQTT protocol that the printers use but all that would make available is the metadata about printer job status, not what is going on in perhaps the GCode.
There is a thread on resources for the MQTT protocol as it relates to Bambu, with links to open source support for integrating into the Home Assistant protocol, offering many adaptable solutions. If you’re the type of person who got into 3D printing because you enjoy tinkering, this may be right up your alley.
Ah. Understand now. @closeproximity’s response about covers it then, unfortunately. There is a feature-request tag/section here in the forum. Perhaps try your luck?
This will not help but for what it’s worth, PrusaSlicer, from which Bambu Studio was forked, has a “Post processing script” feature that could have been used to make this work. BambuLab chose not to include it, for good reasons I am sure.
