ZOE : a machine that resembles a living creature in being capable of moving independently

there are test prints on the sd card from your printer. use one for printing.

I did not do that, I will start again  :-)

Also see that all settings are stored in your printer.like x,y,z  nozzle some 220 heat bed some 50  heat check your leveling off the bed’

@EzAng  When you purchase filament, not all brands are good when you find one brand you like stick with it.  I tend to use the highest temp listed on the box for the hotend and the bed.  if you will be using glass on the bed scuff it with some sandpaper.  and I like hairspray, take the glass off the bed when spraying.  Make your first print two test cubes,  check if you have a good print and see if there is stringing between the cube if there is some use your retraction setting  I use about 3mm. retraction.   if your print is warping or releasing from the bed make sure you start the first layers closer to the print bed but not to close. if the extruder is making a clicking noise you are to close.  print slower for your first several prints and then gradually increase the speed and see what your 3d printer can handle.    3d printing takes a very long time, live with it,  if you have issues don't hesitate to ask.

Thank again,

I am using the PETG   heating up at 65 / 135 c I stopped my first print, ended up , there was stringing - looked like the extruder was too high of the print job, or is that just me -  trail and error I guess

How do I fill this in?

hello ezang

bed leveling is the most importent to even get a good print. watsh many video's and learn yourre machiene step by step. i always use a raft (jeremie touch me thatxD) then you can see upfront, when a print has a very good chance to succseed.
