the first test...
Did the obligatory first test print today from the pre loaded file on the SD card that came with the new 3D printer. Figured it would be a good idea to really put the printer through its paces for this first run. Fortunately, everything worked fine and the print came out quite nice. The vertical structures are support for overhangs and peel off easily. It took 5 hours and 31 minutes to print out this silly object but at least I know there aren't any major issues with the printer or how I assembled it. Good thing I bought a full spool of filament because the little sample they included with the printer isn't nearly enough to print this. 62,70,27,0,C
