You can obtain models for the Bambu Lab A1 with AMS Lite by accessing preloaded models on the SD card. Press “Print Files” on the printer, then select the model you want to print. Additionally, you can use third-party slicers that export standard G-code, such as Superslicer, Prusaslicer, and Cura, though some advanced features may not be supported.
