Without wishing to sound pedantic, could you be a little more specific? Do you mean "Are there any unusual or undocumented ways?" I don't have this printer, but looking at the [manual](https://manuals.plus/bambu-lab/x1-3d-printer-manual-2) the **only** connectivity seems to be via Wi-Fi (using either a mobile app or an application running on a PC/Mac) - there doesn't appear to be an SD card slot, nor USB interface. Although there is mention of a *Bambu Bus*, but I have no idea what that is.

Do the printers actually exist? I only see pre-order tickets.

There is indeed an SD card slot, at least on the X1C.  So, as long as you can generate the G-code externally, you can run it.  Not sure that answers OPs question about "sending" G-code, but it's doable.

USB Serial interface is used to communicate with the vast number of printers out there.  I think OP is asking if it's possible to send GCode commands over USB serial.  I came here wondering the same thing because I want to use the bambu for a simple but custom automation task.

If you use Bambu Studio, the printer has been bound to your Bambu Lab account, and your printer is on the same WiFi network as the computer. You can slice and press **Print Plate** and select your printer and print! Or you can load the G-Code onto an SD Card, insert it into the printer, and press print.
