Complete beginner's guide to 3D printing - Assembly, tour, slicing, levelling and first prints
If you've just got your first 3D printer, this video is for you. If someone you know is confused by why the STL on the card won't print, or has no idea how to level the bed, please send them here.
This guide takes you through step by step everything you need to get going and start printing. Please explore the rest of my channel for a lot of content on how to get the best out of your 3D printer.
This Ender 3 purchased with my own money from the Australian warehouse of the Creality official store. It was missing the LCD knob, has a warped bed, but prints well. Pretty typical. It does have working thermal runaway protection, which is fantastic! It also has a V1.1.4 board with A4988 stepper motor drivers.
