Getting started
Installing BambuStudio
Generally, all slicers are supported, however, best support is provided by BambuStudio as it is native to the printer and has all profiles built in for printing. Windows and MacOS versions are available through the official page, however, Ubuntu/Fedora/Linux version is also available through the GitHub release page.
Windows and MacOS versions should be pretty straightforward to install, instructions below are for Linux version, tutorial will be based on Ubuntu but feel free to add your own notes for other distributions.
<TODO installation steps>
Initial configuration
BambuStudio has some sane defaults for whatever you're doing, but you must choose the initial configuration correctly. Notably, make sure you're using correct nozzle size and choose correct printer when installing.
Slicing and uploading the gcode
Preparing for printing
Changing filament
Filament is pushed from behind the printer, it might be hard to reach so see the picture to figure where it is: To change the filament, go to the appropriate menu on the printer and select unload to remove the current filament, or load to load the new one.
Unloading
Pretty straightforward, just click Unload button and wait for it to finish - after it's done pull it out rather swiftly.
Loading
When loading the filament, you will be prompted to push the filament through the tube. Push it until you feel resistance, and then Bambu should detect it and try pulling it.
There will be a modal which will ask you if the filament is being pushed - click Retry and check by holding the filament if it is getting pulled. For example like this
If all is well, click Done and wait for it to finish
