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 filament absorbs moisture and that causes print quality issues. It can cause things like bubbles, stringing, poor layer adhesion and a rough finish. PLA will get brittle when it absorbs too much moisture.
Excellent to know. Thank you!
