I want to reprint the previous print from the printer interface

Bambu Lab P Series

I often print the same object multiple times.
It would be handy to remove the print from the plate and then just click print on the machine to repeat the previous print.

It is not terrible to go back to the computer and use Studio to send again, but with the current LAN only issues that involves clicking, waiting for the timeout, clicking again, watching for the print to start without the error in gcode that occurs at times.

The printer already has the gcode, so just printing again would be simple and there would be no need to use the computer.

You can-

Go to file icon

I have not had an issue. When you say colors are different, are you printing from AMS and now have a different color in the slot that was assigned to the original print? I believe AMS unit and slot assignment is included in the 3MF file. You can override the filament location by unchecking AMS and feeding from an external spool. Filament brand/type and plate type are also part of the 3MF that is cached, so you need to make sure those match. This is why the pre-sliced files when printed from the AMS have to be in unit 1 slot 1 (+ slot 2 for 2-color prints) and be PLA.

I have not had issues with supports on reprints, and I have done many.

As a future enhancement, it would be nice if when selecting a cached file to reprint it gave a quick summary screen of plate type and filamanet location expectations.

Are you talking about the X1? I don’t have a file icon on the P1P.

@PrinterMcgee Thanks. That is a big help.

I still think a shortcut of just pressing play on the main screen would be nice, and quicker.

The gcode that is generated uses a lot of variables (I can’t remember what the wiki calls them). For example the gcode to calibrate the plate surface is conditional, so that you can make a choice to skip calibration at the time of printing in the slicer dialog. I wonder if the slicer is sending those variable separately from the gcode at the time of printing, but when you reprint the printer is not using the same variable definitions but instead using default values.
