The slicer automatically sets the print on the bed, but you need to make sure that it fits inside the bed volume
Step 2:
Step 2:
Add your files by selecting the +box on the top left or you can drag and drop from your file's location into the software
Step 3:
Step 3:
In this view, you can manipulate the location, orientation, size and more for your part
Tip: You can roate the view by clicking and dragging anywhere (other than the part)
Step 4:
Step 4:
If you wanted to print more than one file, click the +box button on the top left again and add more files
If you want to rotate the piece click on your piece, then on the rotate button (the box with the green arrow over it in the photo above)
If you want to place a specific face of your part on the built plate click on your part, then on the "Lay on face" button (the green box with an arrow pointing down underlined by a white line in the photo abve) then select the highlighted face that you want placed down on the bed
There are plenty of other settings that you can select, but these are typically the main ones you'd want to change or edit

The act of making 3D models is much more time intensive than finding already made 3D models off of the internet to 3D print
One of the best websites to find these models for free is Thingiverse as well as Printables. Bambu Studio also has selection of files under the home tab in it's software from MakerWorld
Step 2:
Step 2:
Choose your file!
Search for something that you may be interested in or think looks cool and download the .stl file
If this is your first print ever, I advise picking something that is only one piece and is not too large
Try to find a file that does not have supports so that you will not have to remove anything afterwards
I chose this Elephant Phone Stand
Step 3:
Step 3:
Once you have selected your part, scroll down to click on Thing files
The file type you typically want to download for 3D printing is a .stl file
From here I will select the blue Download button to download the file
4. upload your file
4. upload your file
Step 1:
Step 1:
Once you have your file (Save as .3mf) notify a DCI staff member so you can upload it to the designated computer for the 3D printers. Make sure you have the new Bambu Lab X1 Carbon and the Textured PEI Plate selected
Make sure that the correct filament is selected, currently because PETG is loaded we have Generic PETG selected, but it can be changed to be different filaments if needed

5. Slice your file

Once you have your 3D model to your liking and you are ready to print, you have to convert that into instructions the printer can follow
But first! Step 1: Supports
But first! Step 1: Supports
IMPORTANT: You must determine if your model needs support! If the 3D model has overhangs greater than a ~30-degree angle, then you will need to add supports. (See example)
If you are unsure, check out the Changing Slicer Settings page to learn more. If after that you are still unsure, please ask a staff member.
At the bottom of the left column where you can select different settings for our printer, filaments etc you'll see 4 tabs we can choose from called "Quality", "Strength", "Support" and "Others"
Make sure we select the Support and check the boxes that say "Enable support" and "On build plate only"
In that same area as before if you wanted to change the infill select "Strength" at the bottom of the menu you will see "Sparse infill density" which you can change to your liking but generally it is ok to leave it at 10%-15%, you can check Changing Slicing Settings In 3DPrinterOS to learn about infill and many other settings for the print
In that same area as before if you wanted to change the infill select "Strength" at the bottom of the menu you will see "Sparse infill density" which you can change to your liking but generally it is ok to leave it at 10%-15%, you can check Changing Slicing Settings In 3DPrinterOS to learn about infill and many other settings for the print
In that same area as before if you wanted to add a Brim select Others at the bottom of the menu if the piece needs one, it is usually safe to select a brim and in BambuStudio it has an auto option set by default that can also decide for you, but if you are unsure ask a staff member
Click the Slice Plate button in the top right of the screen
The print should now look like the photo to the right
Click the Print Plate button in the top right of the screen
After hitting Print Plate the next menu will pop up where we will see a couple new options.
We will want to make sure that Timelapse is off, Auto Bed Leveling is on, and Flow Dynamics Calibration is on.
