Hi gamers,
I recently got a 3D printer (FDM), it's a fantastic cult to be in. I've made a good few things like gifts and functional parts to help with work and for my home setup.
I thought I'd make a thread so people can share tips, settings, models and whatever else there is based around 3D printing.

that one is 100% first on my to do list once I get my stuff calibrated

my main advice would be to play around with settings, build plates, and filaments(even different brands) to just get a feel for things
when i say settings i mostly mean the ones in the slicer, cause those are easy to reset, as opposed to settings baked into the printer
oh and if your not familiar with cad, i would get on that sooner than later

@lusty basin how tight would you recommend for x/y/z nuts (?) to be
not sure if they're just a neptune thing or on enders/BBLs as well

wdym x y z nuts?
are they just regular "screw until its tight enough that it wont fall off" kinda nuts
or are they for calibration

it's a fantastic question. some people say until they're tight, some say there's a sweet spot? just wondering if it was something that's generic. if not, no problem, will go back to reddit or sum
lusty basin
probably until they are tight
unless they are for calibration
then there might actually be a sweet spot

yeah.. they feel like a cal thing, but yeah I'll do some more research
ty tho
on a side note, if anyone else is new and gets an elegoo, would recommend OrcaSlicer over ElegooSlicer.
tried to print the same thing with elegoo's 3 times and had layer shift in the same place. tried orca and worked first time. found it from a few videos which said the same thing
