 === Save/Export Your Project ===
-When done previewing/defining/slicing your project settings on your personal copy of Bambu Studio, export the project from your local copy of Bambu Studio. This then can be taken to TheLab to be loaded on the Lab version of Bambu studio
+When done previewing/defining/slicing your project settings on your personal copy of Bambu Studio, save your changes to your thumb drive.
+There are a couple of ways you can do this,
- * If you export the project from Studio as “Export all plate sliced file…”, it can be loaded into the Lab version of Studio however, you will "not" be able to revisit the prepare tab with this model. Attempting to do so will cause Studio to create a new model.
+==== Save the Project ====
+ To save as a full project, select "File->Save Project".
-* if you think you want to modify some of the "Prepare" characteristic you can export as .stl
+ Then you can reload the project within the Lab version of Bambu Studio. This will allow you to modify any of your model and printer characteristics. You may need to "reset" some of the characteristics set when viewing your model in your personal version.
-* This will become less burdensome once you become comfortable using the Studio within the lab, most likely after one or two print cycles.
+==== Export the data ====
+To export the file data, select "File->Export".
+ \\
+ There are several formats which you can choose when exporting, not all of which may be enabled.
+ * If you use the export as G-code it is not obvious to the author how you can change print characteristics such as nozzle size, filament type, etc.
+ * If you export as a .stl file you can take it to a design program but if you re-import within Bambu Studio will need to repeat the Prepare/Preview steps performed in you personal version.
+\\
+Whatever form you chose it can be taken to TheLab to be loaded on the Lab version of Bambu studio.
+This will become less burdensome once you become comfortable using the Bambu Studio. Then perhaps you can do the entire workflow within the Lab version, most likely after one or two print cycles.

+==== Verify filament being used ====
+With the AMS system it is easy for your project desires to be out of sync with the actual printer settings.
+Perhaps your project is set to use the filament within position 1 of the AMS. When you get to the Lab you might see an empty position and accidentally load your filament in position 2. Then you initialize the filament load process at the printer itself to load your filament from position 2.
+When you send the print job within Bambu Studion it will do what your "program" says, it will switch to AMS position 1 for the print. Probably not what you had intended.
+This may occur also if your print job filament "type" does not match what is currently in the job specified AMS position, but is available in a different AMS position.
+It's also a good idea to monitor your print job at least in the early stages to ensure it is adhering to the print plate as expected.

+=== Skip an object ===
+If one is printing multiple objects at the same time, occasionally one or more objects may fall over or become separated
+from the print plate. This can result in a whole bunch of print "poop". If this is the case one or more objects in the
+print job can be skipped as described in the Bambu Labs article:
