 If using a micro SD card to start a print, one is available for use and is always inserted into the P1S. However, if you find yourself printing from micro SD frequently, please consider bringing your own.
-Asmbly currently only provides a textured PEI printing sheet. Asmbly also provides cleaners for the sheet: Isopropyl Alcohol (usually in a squeeze bottle with the printer tools) and Dish Soap (in the coffee area just outside of the multi-purpose room).

 ====== Stopping or Pausing a print ======
 You can stop a print from either the Devices menu in Bambu Slicer or the control panel. If you stop or pause a print from Bambu Slicer mid-print, it will not move the nozzle clear of your print.

 ====Settings and Adjustments====
 ====== Filament ======
 Make sure that your slicer settings take into account the particular kind of filament you are using.
 If you need help loading or unloading filament from the rear spool holder, please visit [https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/p1/manual/loading-filament] or [https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/p1/manual/replacing-filament], respectively.
 ====== Print Bed Sheet ======
 {{Note|type=error|text=🛑 DO NOT PRINT DIRECTLY ON THE BED. ALWAYS USE A STEEL SHEET.}}
-Make sure that the printer knows which sheet is on it. The sheets have different thicknesses, and you may not get a good first layer if the wrong sheet is selected.

-This printer is not currently equipped with an abrasion-resistant nozzle. This means that filaments with include additives such as glow-in-the-dark powder (strontium aluminate), carbon fiber, glass fiber, wood, or metal cannot be used with this machine.
+In general, TPU is too soft to print via the AMS and must be loaded via the rear spool holder. However, TPU's that have been validated for AMS use, such as Bambu's own "TPU for AMS" filament, may be printed via the AMS. When in doubt, please ask a steward or post on Discourse to see if a TPU is compatible with the AMS.
