+==== 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:
