-## AMS (Automatic Material System)
+### Attending Prints
-Typically there are a few spools of TheLab-owned PLA stocked in the AMSs and labeled appropriately. Use the AMSs for active prints if you like, but the side spool is typically easier if you're only using a single filament per print. Just don't leave your filament in the AMS once your print is done.
+The Bambus are very reliable/safe printers - just stick around to make sure the first layer sticks before letting the print run unattended.

+### Filament Handling
-The Bambus are very reliable/safe printers - just stick around to make sure the first layer sticks before letting the print run unattended.
+For now, we do not have the capacity for storing member-owned filament.
+We will likely change this in the future.
+For now, please take your filament home within 24hr of the completed print.
-## Etiquette
+### Etiquette
+- If you break something, that's okay! Try to fix it if you're confident that you can, and post in the `#filament-general` channel to let everyone know the current status of the printers
 - If someone else's print has finished, feel free to remove their print and place it in the bin
-- Don't hold up both printers at once unless you've gotten consensus in the `#filament-general` Discord channel first
 - Long prints are okay! Try to run them overnight, leave a note in Discord first.
 - Only use gluestick on plates that require it
 - Vacuum up the inside of the printer enclosure if your print left dust, etc.
