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!
Oh and to keep the filament dry get the bulk orange desiccant. The white activated alumina is technically better but the orange is much easier to know when it’s ready to be dried in the oven. -and to know when its finished drying. I tried microwave and damaged the orange color change from over heating. Oven at low temp for drying desiccant is fool proof.
Appreciate it. I never would have thought of this.
