# File Naming Conventions

## Naming Conventions

{% hint style="warning" %}
Only alphanumeric characters (underscores & hyphens are excepted). No special characters in the name (ie. " ", ( ), { }, \[ ]. \\, /, ' '). These will not be recognised by the Bambu and cause print submission failure.
{% endhint %}
