 ## Etiquette
+- 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.

 ## Sending Prints
-TODO
+Bambu Studio is installed on most of the machines around TheLab and works as advertised. :)
+## IMPORTANT PLEASE READ
+The Bambu process sends the file to be printed to a cloud product, from there it is sent back down to the actual machine to be printed.
+Thus, it is very important that we DO NOT log out of the Bambu cloud within the Studio instances installed on TheLab machines. Doing so will render this inoperative.
+If you want to log into the Bambu cloud with your own Id you must do so on your own machine.
