Memory card tips
The First Layer is the most important. If the first layer fails for any reason, the rest of the print will not work.
If the first layer needs adjustment, select the "Tune" menu, then "Z-offset". This will let you use the knob to tweak the Z height up or down. Make this adjustment slowly: typically only a tiny adjustment is needed. Avoid running the nozzle into the printbed.
The printer will display the amount of time remaining for the print to complete.
If you are not there when your print completes, a Community Technician will remove the print and weigh it at the front desk.
