Prepare files for printing on Bambu Lab printers by opening sliced files in Bambu Connect or unsliced models in Bambu Studio. The user selects the printer, checks the setup, and starts printing in the app.
Send prints to Bambu Lab printers through Bambu Connect, Bambu Lab's official app for printing from other software, or Bambu Studio. Use when the user wants to print a sliced `.gcode.3mf`, a Bambu `.gcode` or an unsliced model on a Bambu Lab printer, over Bambu Cloud or LAN. The agent opens the file in the app; the user picks the printer and starts the print there.
Review the instructions the agent will receive before you install.

Bambu Lab printers take print jobs from other software only through Bambu Connect, Bambu Lab's desktop app for third-party tools (https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/software/third-party-integration). This skill opens a file in Bambu Connect, or an unsliced model in Bambu Studio; the user picks the printer and starts the print there. The agent never controls a printer and never asks for access codes.
Bambu Connect (Windows 10 or later, macOS 13 or later), signed in to the user's Bambu Lab account, with the printer on that account or reachable in LAN mode (https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/software/bambu-connect). On Linux, where Bambu Connect is still in development, use Bambu Studio.
| What the user has | Handoff |
|---|---|
A sliced .gcode.3mf, from $gcode or Bambu Studio's or OrcaSlicer's "Export plate sliced file" | Open it in Bambu Connect |
A plain .gcode sliced with this printer's Bambu profile | Open it in Bambu Connect; if Bambu Connect refuses it, slice the model in Bambu Studio instead |
A model with no slice: .3mf, .stl or .step | Open it in Bambu Studio, which slices it and sends it to the printer itself |
Bambu Connect imports a file from a bambu-connect://import-file link with
three parameters: path, the file's absolute path, and name, the name to
show, each percent-encoded the way JavaScript's encodeURIComponent does it
(Python: urllib.parse.quote(value, safe="")); and version=1.0.0. For
/Users/me/prints/bracket.gcode.3mf:
bambu-connect://import-file?path=%2FUsers%2Fme%2Fprints%2Fbracket.gcode.3mf&name=bracket&version=1.0.0
Open the link with open "<link>" on macOS, or Start-Process "<link>" in
PowerShell on Windows. Bambu Connect comes forward with the file loaded.
On macOS run open -a BambuStudio <file> (some installs name the app
Bambu Studio). On Windows open the file from Bambu Studio's File menu, or run
Start-Process <file> when Bambu Studio is the file's default app. On Linux run
bambu-studio <file>, or open it from the AppImage or Flatpak.
Before the user presses Print, tell them what to check: the printer, plate type, nozzle, filament and AMS mapping, a clear build plate, and someone nearby for the first layer. Never report a print as started: the agent can't see the printer, and the app shows the job and its progress.
Starting, pausing or cancelling prints without the user, and reading printer
status: Bambu Lab's firmware takes those from other software only through Bambu
Connect, or in Developer Mode, which is LAN-only and disconnects the printer
from Bambu Cloud. For slicing, use $gcode or Bambu Studio.

Create and edit 3D parts and assemblies with adjustable dimensions using cadgen. Export STEP, STL, 3MF, or GLB files, inspect geometry, and open existing models in CAD Viewer for visual review.
Check mesh files for 3D printing by measuring geometry and comparing it with process-specific design limits. Get findings on wall thickness, overhangs, and supports, plus build orientation options and concrete redesign guidance.
Review part designs for sheet metal, CNC machining, or injection molding. Compare geometry measurements with applicable supplier or tooling limits, then document manufacturing concerns, suggested changes, and checks that still need evidence.
Create and update 2D DXF drawings from written requirements or CAD geometry using Python and build123d. Prepare cutting profiles and marking layers, check for open contours and duplicate geometry, and review drawings in CAD Viewer.
Create a manufacturing drawing PDF from a part’s 3D geometry, with projected views, measured dimensions, hole callouts, and a title block. Rerun the drawing script after model changes to update the sheet.
Turn 3D models into printer instructions called G-code with OrcaSlicer. The skill selects existing printer and material presets, slices the model, and checks dimensions and output settings before handing over the files.
