Comment on Christmas buying advice?
periwinkle@lemmy.world 9 months agoSo far I’m going with the e3v3 se. Is there anything in specific I should look out for when it arrives? Or should I set it up and run through the basics. Obviously can’t just leave it in box until Christmas or I won’t be able return it if something is wrong. How specific is filament? I see that there are different widths and materials but as far as brands go there doesn’t seem to be any proprietary stuff to look out for.

Make sure nothing is bent, cracked or otherwise broken. When assembling, make sure the z gantry is square - put the screws in loosely and slowly tighten them evenly, then before making them tight, make sure it’s square. Best bet for a beginner FDM machine is going to be a basic PLA.
