First Print

[Snakesm13]

I think I’m a little too far away when I leveled the bed but surprisingly no surprises.
I bought the Ender 3 Pro on a cyber Monday sale to eventually print a MPCNC. This was printed with the included filament and I still have about half of it left.

Nice! I really have to pick up a Ender 3 Pro at some point....I have no printer atm, but have worked with them extensively before

@snakesm13 looks good!

Wow! Those pics taken sans buffing? No lines apparent until I really embiggen it. Cute sample, too. Is the Ender 3 the current reigning printer? Had a Prusa but warped the plastic (backseat, summer sun...) so I turned it in to something else.

EDIT: Nope, won't be buying one of those. They can't even use decent English grammar on the site. Ah, it's Chinese. Actually, have all the pieces for one, just need a good control board.

A few more and you could have a plus-sized pass the pigs set.

@shop-teacher Thanks I watched many videos but still felt like I had no clue what I was doing.
I have experience with sketch-up but I tried my hand at Fusion 360 and am on my first print. Not in love with the software.
On the other hand the slicer tool that creality now preloads on the SD card instead of Cura seems to work good.

@barnie correct this is fresh off the printer only removed the base.
This is not the lead 3D printer by any stretch currently BUT at $188 bucks I am able to print my own MPCNC parts.

I don’t know what that means but thanks!

@snakesm13 I haven't tried Fusion360. I've been using Onshape lately, and I really like it.

My experience with Cura wasn't good. I've been using the software that came with my machine. I've heard good things about Slic3r.

Pass the Pigs is/was a little family party game that uses sets of pigs as dice. You roll the pigs and depending on the position they land in equates to an amount of points. The positions have humorous names.
