So far into the print as well.
Dropbox
www.dropbox.com
The Worst thing is I don't have a clue either why the print was saying 27 hours when others I have spoken to are getting it to 15 hours standard printing. OR why the print actually failed.
What material? If PLA my lad reckons it could be heat creep.
As in the air temperature in the enclosure got too high and the filament in the feed tube started to soften leading to clogging.
Theoretically possible too with PETG.
It's petg. Front door is slightly ajar but it's in a cupboard which has its own door.
I am hoping Bambu as its so expensive has a log file somewhere that might shed some light on it.

Lad says there's no log file as far as he knows. There is he reckons the whole **hrs recorded on video he thinks.
Current thinking is that being in the cupboard things just got too hot that many hours in.

If you haven't taken it off the bed can you rescue it? Do some measuring, drop your model below the bed the required amount and re-slice maybe?? (Not sure if that would work actually, unless you know of a way to adjust the Z height the right amount).
Or if you have already removed it, what I've done before is to cut the model in two in Fusion and export the top bit to Bambu Studio and print the remainder. Then out with the superglue. I know that works as I often did that with my old Ender 3

I might try salvaging it later. But for now I really want to trace what happened.
Front panel was propped open but not the lid. I don't know where to find out what fan speed was.
I suspect I have found out why it's so long to print...
Gut feeling is it's not hot in there BUT as its the largest print and longest time I have had it printing it could be.
I am wondering if I start another small print to see if it prints OK would that show up heat creep?
Not sure where to find the video....lol

In Bambu Studio click on the device tab, click on MicroSD card. The printer has to be on. You can download the video to your local drive.
I can't find a full video in the SD card...

It's a time lapse video. Here is a couple that just failed on mine. I still haven't worked out why but third time they are working
I can play the time lapse but its the full video I wanted Jake thinks it does record it and I asked in the Bambu group and a guy said pull the SD and check on there. sure enough it has about 30 full length videos on there across the last two models printed. https://www.dropbox.com/s/d1rzr64mxobuid0/ipcam-record.2025-01-30_13-32-13.15.mp4?dl=0It's a time lapse video.

The failure starts towards the end of this one.

He say:
"best guess is still a partial clog from either heat creep or a bit of dirt stuck in the nozzle/filament"
Seems to be the consensus in the bambu forums. I am just waiting to see if I get a reply on the best settings for this cube pro frame as others are saying it's printing in a lot less time for them.
Trying to get the settings they use is hard work though. Lol
Ok I have now printed two cubes that went perfectly.
As the second one took 10 hours instead of 21 hours the first one took I am wanting to use the files I purchased instead of the preplated ones I used previously for the draws.
My issue is and this might seem stupid but I don't know the answer so it's not stupid to me.
I have some STL files I have purchased. I store these on Dropbox so I always have access.
Most files I have printed on my X1C have been preplated in Bambu Handy.
I am now needing to print a file thats contained in Dropbox and cant work out if its possible with Bambu handy or if I need to wait till I am at my PC and use Bambu Studio?

I thought that would be the case. One thing I really would like to get my head round is why the free files on Maker world can take up to 27 hours on standard setting.
But using the files from the zip that I paid for the time comes right down.
I find the files I use from Bambu Studio print well if I use my filament settings.
