1. Launch Orcaslicer
2. Set Region
3. Install default profile for the machine you want to use in the “printer” section (it takes a bit to load)
4. If prompted to install the Bambu Network Plugin, select YES
5. Download the file in “Machine Profile” below
6. Unzip/Extract the downloaded file. You should see a file with the extension .orca_printer
7. In the Orcaslicer, select file > Import > Import configs, and select the .orca_printer file

• 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.

The machine profile includes configuration files for the printer, as well as print process and material settings. Print Profile: Biqu B1 3D Printer Profile

The material profiles include per-material settings including temperature, speeds, and shrink rates. These files are only necessary if the materials are not present in your software. Check back here occasionally for more materials!
