STOP H2D from deleting old cache files

it saves like 8 files. I print 4-5 different plates in a day. it’s really frustrating to only have that walk up and hit print ability for a limited time on a project. a week later another service job needs the same parts and now I have to slice it again which results in inconsistencies as software changes with time.

why does BBL refuse to let it just save files till the drive stops working so I can just slap a 1tb on it and forget about it? my x1c will save timelapses till its gui buffer overflows and can’t display all the files why can’t it do that for stl files too.

In print settings, there should be a setting for saving it to the usb drive when sending.

Or under print options in bambu handy

I have that enabled as well but have the same problem as OP where the 64 GB USB only ever has the last 8 or so prints so about twice a week I have to go back and slice the same file again that was once available on the USB but the H2D seems to be removing any file past 8 or 10 saved on the drive.

Then save your gcode in BS. If you open the gcode file later in BS you should be able to send it directly without slicing.

the annoying thing is that the file is not removed, it’s just not showing on the UI!

Cache folder onlys has 8 last prints because it is a cache folder (as it’s name)

but you can find all files on the root of the usb

each time a print is sent to the printer one is stored on the root folder with the model name .gcode.3mf of the usb and another one is stored inside the cache folder (with profile name.gcode.3mf)

Cache is always used even when the store files on usb is not activated (purged to 8 max). But when you activate this option this is when you can also find the files on the root folder (and thoses are not purged at all)
