ignore the supplied test files, they're mostly garbage and weirdly some of the only files i've had print fails with. just download a 3dbenchy and slice it yourself in bl studio to give it an inaugural print.

then i'd suggest you print out a "purge/poop" bucket to catch the filament waste which gets ejected out of the back of the machine. i like this one...

i'd also suggest a spray bottle of 99% isopropyl alcohol and a microfibre cloth for cleaning the bed before a print as oils from fingers etc can affect adhesion a fair bit if people are touching the surface all the time, might need to check the office fire safety policy for that though.

finally managed to get my printer (well, work's printer...) set up and made a couple of test prints at different resolutions.

thanks for the tips, they were really helpful

just started printing out a poop bucket so we'll see how that goes - looks a pretty big print!

3d printing and RC cars is a great combo.

Just sorted some wider offset wheels for a cheapo car.

And some little hooks that I've looped into hair bands for the roofrack storage.
