Aloha,

I got an Elegoo Carbon FDM coreXY printer and a roll of PLA from the same brand. I’ve read that some filament brands are better than others but I figured I’d start easy.

I’ve taken STLs to the library to print, but I’ve not done my own before. What’s all this slicer stuff? What other software and tools do I need? Thanks!

    start out with a calibration print such as a benchy or XYZ cube using the default settings. if it looks wrong, Google the “symptoms” and go from there. modern printers take less fiddling than printers from 10 years ago so hopefully you won’t need to do much.
