  And watch it print. Sit there and binge watch a season or two of Extrusion starring Nozzle and Build Plate. First of all, it’s got better written dialog and deeper characters than anything broadcast on television since my niece was born. Second, the folks who refuse to watch the printer print tend to be the ones wo go “It didn’t work. Why didn’t it work?” Watch it print, you’ll learn “Oh the part wasn’t being cooled enough so the edges curled, the nozzle caught on the curled up edge and the axis slipped.”

  Do some of that, and you’ll start seeing the problems in the slicer before they happen.
