Already run a printer in the garage but figured a class might finally get me past PLA basics. 🤙

Braxton, if you're already past me week one, curious what printer you run and if it was worth the money over just watching tutorials.

Andrew, good question. I built mine from a kit rather than watching tutorials alone, and honestly the assembly taught me the machine faster than any video could. Braxton, what are you running?

Kit assembly over videos, noted. Adding that.

Mark, same, kit assembly makes way MORE sense to me than watching someone else do it. My printer's BEEN collecting dust since last year, THIS is the week I finally fix that.

Isaiah, mine sat for two months after a bad first spool before I figured out it was humidity, not the printer. Week 3 topic timing is good, bless. 🤙

Isaiah, good week to un-dust it, then. Levi's humidity call is right more often than people expect. My first shipwreck of a print sat on my shelf for months as a reminder before I figured out the same thing about my bed leveling, not the machine. Bring it Thursday, we'll troubleshoot it live.
