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.

Requirements

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.

Choose the handoff

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 (from a $cad model: cadgen export <id> part.3mf)	Open it in Bambu Studio, which slices it and sends it to the printer itself

Open a file in Bambu Connect

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:
