Watch out for overhangs on models. Every feature needs a surface to print on.
Also, probably not such a thing anymore, but give some time to get to know your printer before doing mods to it. It’s near impossible to troubleshoot issues when you dont know whether the issue is caused by a defect with a new printer or something caused by a modification.

The newer Dell Optiplex micro like the 5070 come with more modern hardware, HDMI and all that. I was fortunate to get a couple for free from my BIL who works in IT and was given them as E-waste.
- Comment on (UPDATE: a different issue??) What are these burn marks on my failed 3D print? 1 month ago:
Do you have a spare nozzle to try out? Sometimes the orifice can become enlarged from wear and cause issues. For example I ran a couple spools of Glow in the Dark filament through my old printer and it trashed the entire filament path through the extruder and made my nozzle orifice look like a figure 8.

Im all about DIYing to save money, but if you have the slightest doubt about your ability to do electrical work, hire a professional. The potential downside to making mistakes here is electrocution and/or your house burning down with you and your family inside.
