  1. The printer has an Automatic Material System (AMS), this allows the printer to switch between filaments.
  2. The order of the filaments is from left to right and can be selected in the Bambu Studio app by entering the number of it (1-4).
  3. To change a filament, first open the AMS.

  7. Now place the new filament in the AMS and insert it until the printer starts pulling it.
  8. Close the AMS.

Set up Bambu Studio

  1. To use the printer, you will need an application which converts the 3d model into a file that can be interpreted by the printer.
  2. Visit https://bambulab.com/en/download/studio and download the application for your OS.


  3. After that open the app and follow the instructions to set it up.


  4. Set your login region to Europe and click on Next.
