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!
Oh, I just about forgot: One of the best things you can do is sit and watch it print, even as it’s going slightly wrong. That can be instructive. Watch it do things like overhangs, bridges, small features, etc.
I shall indeed.
