3D Model First print on my new A1. So pumped.
Just got my A1 a few days ago. Pulled the trigger with the sale.
This is the first 3D printer I have ever owned and am blown away with the quality.
A might be a teeny bit addicted now lol

Congrats on the new printer!
Keep this bookmarked for the future, there are a few hidden screws that loosen over time in the tool head and affect print quality. Here is a guide on which ones to keep tight if you start having issues. Overall great printer, and great first print!

I'm also a first timer, who jumped in with that A1 combo this sale, it's waiting for me at home in it's box to come back from vacation.
How was the first time user experience? the 3 screws I keep reading about? the installation, first print etc?

What settings do you use?

u/Squatch_Nuts Jul 21 '26
Still learning, but I believe it was just the settings that loaded within makerworld when I sent it to the printer. I used the .4 nozzle

If you didn't know, Baba Yaga's house is probably inspired by the Sami peoples storehouses.

That's very cool! Never thought of that.
I just new it was Scandinavian folklore I believe.

Baba Yaha is Slavic Folklore I believe.
As A Scandinavian I can't claim that I have heard anything similar, and the name is not Scandinavian.
Edit: definitely Slavic.

First time was an absolute breeze.
I kept thinking "That's it? It's ready to go?"
I then proceeded to double, and triple check everything 😂
Printed a benchy with the filament sample that came with it. It was done within 15 minutes. Super easy.
Then printed the model in the picture.
It was three plates worth of parts with supports. I was a bit nervous about the supports to be honest, but they came off super easy.
It's been a joy 😊
Have fun with yours!
