THIS TOPIC IS A WORK IN PROGRESS

Welcome to the world of 3D Printing. There are tons of beginners guides for general 3D printing available on the Internet; the content below relates to getting you up and running quickly.

Getting Started

Once your printer is delivered or arrives, follow the unboxing instructions defined for your printer.
- The manufacturer typically includes a QR code or paper labeled “Quick Start” to get you going.
- It's important to follow these instructions to ensure you remove all the packaging material is removed correctly. Missing something could damage your printer.
Determine where your printer will be located.
- You need access to power for the printer, and a stable (not-wobbly) surface.
- You also need to determine if you have children or pets that will take interest in the device, especially if you have an unenclosed printer bed (the thing that the prints are built on).
