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!
I think only Prusa still ships a real, honest to god printed manual anymore. Most printers come with just a pamphlet to setup and plug it in.
Paper costs money to print and to ship.
True. Not much comes with a manual. Most products just come with a slip of paper with a QR code on it.
That is the sad part. When I got my Prusa Mk3s kit way back during covid, it not only came with a users manual, but a hefty large assembly manual. Both books printed on glossy paper and full page color pictures with circles and arrows on them.
I still have both books and I still use that Mk3s.
