Aloha,
I got an Elegoo Carbon FDM coreXY printer and a roll of PLA from the same brand. I’ve read that some filament brands are better than others but I figured I’d start easy.
I’ve taken STLs to the library to print, but I’ve not done my own before. What’s all this slicer stuff? What other software and tools do I need? Thanks!
The only step you’re missing is basically what I described above. I recommend grabbing PrusaSlicer, load your STL, and play around with it, as it shows after slicing the various print instructions it comes up with. For starting out, the defaults should work fine.
Will do, thank you very much!
