Project screenshotsAbout this Skill
Choose the correct official desktop app for the file: sliced jobs open in Bambu Connect, while unsliced models open in Bambu Studio. The workflow prepares a local file handoff and asks the user to check printer, plate, nozzle and filament before starting.
Why we picked it
Useful after slicing for a Bambu Lab printer: it uses the official application and keeps printer selection and Print in the user’s hands.
What it helps with
- Hand a Bambu-compatible print file or model to the official desktop application.
How to use this Skill
Identify the file
Determine whether the input is a sliced Bambu job or an unsliced model.
Open the official app
Use the documented Bambu Connect import link for a sliced file, or open the model in Bambu Studio.
Finish with the user
The user confirms printer, plate, nozzle and filament in the app and starts the print. Report the handoff without claiming a print has started.
Try a first task
Send a concrete brief
Provide the real input files and replace example dimensions or machine details with your own.
Open this sliced .gcode.3mf in Bambu Connect and tell me which printer, plate, nozzle and filament settings to verify before I press Print.
