+==== Slicer Setup ====
+The following procedure applies if setting up Orcaslicer for the first time.
+\\ __If you have previously installed other machines, skip to step 4 below.__
+  - Launch Orcaslicer
+  - Set Region
+  - Install default profile for the machine you want to use in the "printer" section (it takes a bit to load)
+  - If prompted to install the Bambu Network Plugin, select YES
+  - Download the file in "Machine Profile" below
+  - Unzip/Extract the downloaded file. You should see a file with the extension .orca_printer
+  - In the Orcaslicer, select file > Import > Import configs, and select the .orca_printer file
+  - Select the new profile in the "Printer" section. All printers should have the suffix "MAKE Roanoke". You may delete any default printer profiles.
+  - Select the process preset in user presets ending in "MAKE Roanoke"
+  - You're ready to slice and print!
+==== Troubleshooting ====
+  * **Zero configs imported error:** \\ Make sure you have unzipped the downloaded file before importing.
+  * **I can't find the X1C access code:** \\ The access code is located on a blue label on the front of the machine.
+  * **I can't connect to the printer:** \\ The printer is only accessible on the MKROA network. Ask shop captain for login information. You will need to restart the slicer after switching networks.
+  * **I still can't connect to the printer:** \\ Go to the network and set to "private" rather than "public", and restart the slicer.
+  * **I still can't connect to the printer:** \\ If you use a VPN, you may need to turn it off for printer visibility. Some VPNs work fine, others prevent network discovery.
+  * **I still can't connect to the printer:** \\ Make sure the printer is on, and that nobody else is currently connected.
