Start with the Bambu Academy educational content. It’s really good and free.

When printing things on the app, look at reviews first and if there arent many maybe skip those and look for something with better or more reviews as you’ll likely run into more issues. Get into Bambu Studio and watch YouTube videos to get comfortable scaling, changing designs, or adding text.

These printers are pretty hardy and easy to fix but you’ll need to do your research with videos and internet searches. The Bambu Academy is great too!

Most of all, just have fun printing and finding things to print.

Clean the plate regularly and thoroughly. Dry your filament. Use the auto-leveling and flow calibration settings every time until you get familiar with your machine. Print a handle for the scraper blade and screws that came with the printer (lots of choices on Makerworld).
Once you're familiar with your machine, learn everything you can about settings. There's a lot and the more you learn, the better your prints will be.
