Hi,
i started a 5 hour print and enabled timelaps. I have a 256GB flash drive and regarding the printer i have 32GB in use of that 256GB.
Still the printer throws a warning “not enough space on the usb flash drive; please clear some space”.
That at least sounds wrong to me. My 256GB SD Card on my P1S lasted for ages (also with the same print).
Whats going on here?

I think theres some general USB / SD Card bugs going around. I havent even updated my P1P or my Bambu Studio to the newer firmware/versions and every so often I get a random notification in Bambu Handy that my SD Card isnt good enough (its the original that cam with the printer). Almost feels like they pushed that notification to get people to update the firmware or something lol, not sure why im all of a sudden getting it when I did aboslutely no updating.
I had similar problems, it was because auto recording is enabled by default which will fill your flash drive in a few days, after disabling it, no more problems
thanks. this was “on”. I disabled it and will see what happens.
Not a bad idea to leave it on, but you will need to delete files often. I like it on because if I miss a fail I can go back and look at it and then make the necessary changes.
But if you print from the card often, un-checking it make sense. I tend to format the card when it gets low, and that wouldn’t make sense if I wanted to print things over and over again from the card.
I guess the best of both worlds would be a logic to auto delete the oldest files for space, but that may be a little bit of a stretch to expect.
Have you run H2testw on the new sticks/cards?
Nope, just put it in the printer and formatted it there.
AFAIK that’s how it works, no? At least on my USB stick I could see it was overwriting the oldest files.
I have been formatting when it says its low on memory and never ran it dry, so I can’t say with any certainty.
Does it really need formatting periodically? I was sure it just overwrote old files.
Mine hasn’t been formatted in almost a month and my ipcam folder is 82GB (out of 128 GB total capacity). Those 82 GB only span recordings for the most recent 26 (ish) hours of printing. All within the last 5 days.
I haven’t disabled recording or changed any settings. Seems like it must be removing old video files to keep the used percentage around 65%.
Cool, I’ll let it go and see if it gives me a problem.
Since I had this enabled the whole time it at least did not work for me. I now checked the stick in windows. Also only 32GB used of 256. those 32GB are just Ipcam files
Mine’s at 100gb out of 128.
I have quite a lot of models, but nowhere near that many, and have deleted all the timelapse movies on the USB stick - yet it’s still mostly full.
The log files after each print are about 500mb; I suspect that the machine is creating one after every print, and that’s what’s filling up my USB drive.
over 100gb of files in the “ipcam” folder (despite me having timelapse recordings off, and having deleted all the visible files.
Thank goodness that this isn’t some dodgy outfit that just transfers my data to China without asking.
Based on the wiki, the maximum file size for a single file is 4gb, perhaps that is the issue?
you have to format format usb flash on menu 3d printer
Thank you. I had been looking for this in the menu, but couldn’t find anything and actually thought you had to use an old computer to format.
