I have a model that I spent 2 hours painting but sadly lost, but I can still reprint it in print history. My question is is there any way I can share this with someone else to also print as I can’t find a way to export it from print history.
Which printer are you using?
If it’s a A or P series then the print gcode should be on the SD card. You can copy it, send them the .gcode.3mf file and they can reprint it via Studio or printer display.
If you have a X series and don’t have a SD installed you will probably have to install a SD card and enable “Cache prints to SD card” to be able to capture the print gcode. In this scenario you will need to send the print to the printer and then cancel it once it has started.

On a similar note, is there a way to recover a file from the SD card on an A1 that will give something that can be edited? I previously lost a model in a Bambu Studio crash during a mid-creation edit test print and Bambu Studio did not even attempt to recover the file when starting it back up. That left me with the file on the A1 but no obvious way to finish it. When I copied it back to my computer, Bambu Studio would open it and allow me to print it, but if I tried to edit it to finish making it, Bambu Studio simply closed that file and opened a new empty file.
That was a while back and I’ve recreated the whole thing now, but for future reference if there is a way to get Bambu Studio to edit such a file it would be nice to know.
Not that I know of.

Kind of what I expected. Thanks.
I am using a P series, I will try this thank you.
I am looking for a definitive answer to this question, I have a similar issue where I deleted my cloud data that included all of my saved and custom 3D prints.
I realized it too late, and now I am stuck only with my SD Card cache.
When I open the files from the SD card, I only have the option to print as it is without any editing, and print settings cannot even be changed.
This is such a bummer…

Welcome to the forum.
The .gcode.3mf can not be edited by Bambu Studio.
You need to have the original .3mf file that the gcode was generated from.

@JonRaymond say I have a H2S and I have printed a dragon that is no longer on file with makerworld but I can keep reprinting it from print history but I want to be able to see the colors of the dragon and make changes for filament purge how would I do this or can it be done with the same method you said with the 3mf file I do not have the original file It was early on in my printing career I have the GCODE on my printer history I dont know how to take it and have it recreated to a STL file or 3mf for me to be able to slice it again?
Bambu Studio does save temp files - I know this because mine crashes a lot and always seems to have a backup to recover from when I restart.
Maybe try to find out where those are stored?
Welcome to the forum.
Unfortunately converting back from gcode to 3mf isn’t easily possible. You can reprint the gcode file and at print time select which filament colour can be used in place (what in your AMS) but the purge amounts will remain for the original colours which could make things a little wonky.
Okay is there a way to just take the GCODE and make it a STL file that I can paint in bambu labs? I just need a way to be able to control the design in the slicer instead of just hitting print again from my phone and then guessing the colors its a 16 hour print.
There are utilities out there that attempt to do this but I haven’t found one that is even close to reliable much less able to convert a model that big/complex.
Honestly your best bet is to find the original designer and ask/pay them for the design. That or find a similar model. I’m sure there are at least a “couple” other dragon models out there…
Yeah I am honestly have been trying to find him or her.
mismo problema pero encontre todo la app data la config y incluso los modelos en .model, el problema es que al intentar abrir el .3mf que lo deberia de contener todo me dice que no estan los modelos, si alguien lo soluciona mas que encantado de leerlo
