Seriously though. Start by leveling your bed. all3dp.com has a great tutorial here
You’re going to need a model to verify your bed level. This is my preferred one.
Also – The quick and dirty with using Cura.
- Double click the .stl file or open it in Cura
-
Click the object on the virtual bed. Using the menu context options on the left side of the screen, rotate the object to obtain the proper printing orientation.
-
Choose your profile(e.g. Dynamic Quality 0.16 mm)
-
Choose infill Density(For Max strength=100% Infill)
-
Choose hotend/printing bed temp(Hotend:205 Β°C, Bed:60 Β°C)
-
Click Slice. Copy file to sd/tf card. Insert card into printer.
Now that your bed is level calibrate your extruder.
And finally calibrate your e-steps using the cubes linked in their articles.
Take a look aroundThingiverse, 405th, Pinshape, Grabcad, and MyMiniFactory. See if you like any of the modes there. Try them out. Test the strengths of your materials and get a feel for the quirks of the printer.
