Outline

Without Cloud 3D Printing.. is there any way to recall or list out old print jobs, other than keeping track of it manually? Would you even want to!? As long as it's already there for you, there are several reasons you might want to go into your print history:

  1. Requeue an old job to make sure it prints with the exact same settings.
  2. See how often you printed during the last month or two in order to budget properly for more filament.
  3. Add up the total weight (grams) of prints you did for a friend or customer in order to bill them properly.
  4. Download an STL you know you printed, but cannot find any more in your library.
