The machine has been setup to use [https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/knowledge-sharing/enable-lan-mode LAN only mode]. LAN Mode is a feature that allows Bambu Lab printers to work in a local area network, and communicate with the slicer for sending files and monitoring without requiring internet access. The following features are not avaliable under this mode: 
* Cannot start prints remotely from outside the local network
* Bambu Handy app is not available when using LAN Mode.
* Print History feature is not available

== Quickstart guide==
=== Software === 
In order to use the machine, it is recommended to use the official [https://bambulab.com/en/download/studio Bambu Studio] from Bambulab or the [https://github.com/SoftFever/OrcaSlicer?tab=readme-ov-file#download Orcaslicer] community fork. Both software are itself a open source fork from Prusaslicer, and avaliable on all platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux). Although other slicer could also be used and the machine also uses standard Gcode, they lack the presets for the machines and also some machine specific commands dedicated for some of this machines unique features. 

Please download and install the slicer on your local machine. The slicer operates similarly to PrusaSlicer but includes some unique features and UI changes. All your familiar settings are available, and most of your PrusaSlicer knowledge will transfer.

=== Slicing and Printing === 
Select the '''Bambulab P1S''' printer preset and choose the '''Textured PEI Plate''' as the plate type. You are now ready to slice! Remember to select the correct filament type in the filament section. If you are using the AMS, insert your filament into the AMS and configure it by following the [https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/x1/manual/intro-ams AMS Introduction].

To send the files to the printer, you have two options: either use the small micro SD card on the top front side of the printer and export your sliced files directly to it, or connect to the machine via WLAN and send the files wirelessly. The latter option also allows you to monitor the print via the slicer itself. To connect to the machine wirelessly, please follow the '''Connecting to the Printer''' guide under '''Machine Operation''' section. 

For more information about machine operation, filament loading/unloading, and more, please refer to the Machine Operation section or visit the [https://wiki.bambulab.com Bambulab official wiki] for detailed instructions. If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the '''#3d_printing''' channel on slack or message @Spacezhang.

=== Official Guides === 
The Official Bambulab Wiki has some really nice and extensive documentation
* The [https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/p1/manual/intro-p1p P1 Series Introduction] to the machine itself 
* The [https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/x1/manual/intro-ams AMS Introduction] to the AMS Multimaterial System 
* The [https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/x1/manual/introduction-to-bambu-studio Bambu Studio Introduction] to the slicer used by the machine. 
And here is the manual to the printer: [https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/p1/manual [Link<nowiki>]</nowiki>]
== Machine operation ==
=== Connecting to the Printer ===
* Go to the printer page in Bambu Studio
  [[File:Bambu device.png|thumb|center]]
* Click on "No Printer" to open the dropdown
  [[File:Bambu no printer.png|thumb|center]]
* Select the only printer that shows up.
If it doesn't show up make sure the printer is switched on and restart Bambu Studio.

* Enter the access code you can get from the printers settings

And that's it! You should be able to run calibration for your filament, send a print and watch it with the webcam now. Beware that this *should* only work from the munichmakerlab WiFi.

=== Calibrating your own filament ===
If you bring non-bambu filament you'll probably have to calibrate it first. For this you'll need the official Bambu Studio slicer as calibration does not appear to work with Orcaslicer.

To do that you'll have to connect to the printer as described above. After that you'll go over to the calibration tab and run the calibrations listed in there.

Your K Factor (used for pressure advance) should end out at about 0.02 and the flow multiplier at around 0.95.

=== Insert / Unload filament ===
Check out [https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/x1/manual/ams-setup-and-filament-loading this page.] (The AMS is already set up)

=== Slicing and Starting the print ===
Give [https://youtu.be/xUi54VpSeek?si=PsIAnWxdlwb2MpeD this video] a watch. Make sure to select the P1S in the settings.
