anyone else forget to level the bed first try
Ok so week 1 down and I definitely skipped the leveling step becuase I was too excited to just print something. Ended up with a print that looked like a bird's nest 😎 in hindsight the instructor did say this is like 90% of the battle. Anyone else jump the gun on this one before it clicked? Trying to not make the same mistake week 2. 👍 ~boyd 😎
I did this exact thing my first try too, lol. bird's nest all over the plate and I'm just standing there like whats happening
Yeah thats basically your first layer squish being off, super classic mistake
Auto bed level helps for sure but I sitll do the paper check at all four corners plus the center before I start anything... just saves much filament
ok this makes me feel better
Paper trick is smart, Landon.
wait really so its not just me
Ha, nope Braxton, you're in good company! Whole class basically had a bird's nest phase! That paper trick Landon mentioned savde me week 2 for sure... Whole 6 weeks flew by honestly, kinda missing it already 👍 ~boyd
