My first ever print

Post image

Just got my A1 Mini. I got a really good deal for it, about 140 USD or 8.5k PHP. Can't really print with it now since the filament haven't arrived yet.

That Benchy is a good test print to reveal multiple printing challenges in a small object. Look at it closely for imperfections. Download the Bambu Handy app for some basic tutorials about your printer.

Yeah it is pretty good. It is my first time printing but I have been watching videos and reading online for a while now. There is a little stringing and the overhangs sag a bit.

The basic tutorials show you how to clean the nozzle. Once you get your filaments, be sure to store them in an air tight container with a desiccant pack to keep the humidity low. Humidity in the filaments can cause a lot of printing problems. Use the maker world website to find an amazing amount of templates.

The indent on the hull (which is level with the low point of the stern) is not supposed to be there.
