Record a smooth per-layer timelapse of a Bambu A1 mini print — the "object grows, nozzle parked out of the way" look — using the printer's NATIVE Smooth timelapse (firmware-safe park + Z-lift), captured by `bambu serve`'s in-process grabber from one or more EXTERNAL cameras (the A1's built-in camera is dead on this unit). Use this whenever the user wants a timelapse, a "smooth"/"park-synced" timelapse, the head to step aside for the camera each layer, a multi-camera/multi-angle capture, or asks why a timelapse print detached / looks scraped / came out as a flat plate. Covers slicing for timelapse, arming it at print start, the serve capture API, and assembling the video. Do NOT use it for plain slicing with no timelapse (use bambu-slice), a one-off camera snapshot, or live print control (pause/resume/stop).

Start a print on the Bambu Lab A1 mini SAFELY — the part that goes wrong is the filament SOURCE. Use whenever the user wants to start/run a print from an already-sliced .gcode.3mf (upload + `job start`, via the `bambu` CLI or `bambu serve`), or when a print fails/pauses with "no source" / 0x03008015 / 0x0500C010, keeps stopping at layer 0, "isn't pulling filament", or they ask which AMS slot / use_ams / ams_map to print with. It maps the print to the source that actually holds the filament the slice needs (an AMS slot or the external spool), because the

Slice a 3D model (STL/STEP/3MF) into a print-ready .gcode.3mf for the Bambu Lab A1 mini, and optionally upload + start the print. ALWAYS use this for any A1-mini slicing — driving OrcaSlicer's CLI directly silently produces WRONG output (it ignores Bambu's profile inheritance and reverts layer height/speeds/temps to defaults), and this skill flattens the profiles and verifies the result. Triggers on natural asks like "slice this for my A1", "get this STL ready to print", "make cube.stl printable on the a1", "print the benchy at 0.12mm on my a1 mini", or "I exported this from Fusion, need it on the bambu a1 mini in matte PLA" — including a freshly downloaded/exported STL or STEP, and choosing a layer height (0.08–0.28mm), nozzle, or filament; no slicer need be named. Do NOT use it when nothing needs slicing: controlling a live print (pause/resume/stop), calibration/bed-leveling, jogging axes, dashboard previews/thumbnails, or sending an already-sliced .gcode.3mf to the printer.

Apply Color Universal Design (CUD) so colors work for everyone, including color-vision deficiency (~1 in 20 men; red-green is by far the most common). ALWAYS use this when choosing, designing, or reviewing colors in any UI, dashboard, chart, map, or visualization — especially where color carries meaning (status / error / success / warning, categories, severity, on/off). It gives a colorblind-safe palette (with hex), the WCAG contrast rules, and an audit checklist. Triggers on asks like "is this colorblind-safe?", "pick an accessible color palette", "review these status colors", "make this chart readable", "color universal design / CUD / カラーユニバーサルデザイン", "色覚", or picking accent/status colors even when accessibility isn't named. Do NOT use for non-color styling alone (layout, spacing, typography) or when no color conveys meaning.
