The calibration
I had the doo hickie thing that has the rod in the wrong way so it would go down but wouldn't come up
The instructions don't indicate you don't put it all the way down. Had to find a YouTube video
Also, I had the nozzle too far from the heating plate so the filament didn't have anything to really grab before it hardened.
Scratched tf out the heating plate initially cause I had it too close. Great thing they are pretty cheap, about to order a 2 pack from Amazon.
I also had to turn up the heat on the pad for the first layer or two, slow the speed down as well. After a few passes, I turned the speed back up. I was about to make some slingshot gun but I ran out of the sample filament that came with it
This was my daughter Christmas present so I wanted to have it put together and figured out so I can show her when my week with her starts this Friday. She opened it on Christmas but we didn't get to set it up.
But as a test, I'm making a cat. It was a file already on the memory card that came with the printer.
