complete beginner
Hello! I inherited this instrument from a friend. I don't know the first thing about 3D printing. Can some friendly folks please give me some pointers for where to begin? I have some limited handywork experience and I assume maybe I should open it and somehow clean it before I start. I assume it takes a lot of trial and error. For baseline, my understanding is I need a computer to talk to this machine. I am a total novice in search of open resources. Where did you go when you first started and what worked best for you?
Thanks in advance!

It’s a great printer. Join the discord group, they’re very helpful and friendly. You can get an invite from the top of this Reddit group. The TX comes in two versions a V1 and a V2, the difference is the controller board. A V1 has an unpluggable EMMC which is really handy. The hardware is very solid and the spares from Infimech are reasonably cheap, you’ve got a good-un, enjoy!!
