Ok so I just opened up my new M3D. I have not printed yet. I have followed the (terrible) instructions - which I figured out has much misinformation. One of the pieces of misinformation is that a model is preloaded as the suggested first print. Well it is not there. I am aware of and have downloaded the 6 files from M3D downloads section, the capital, spool holder, etc but have no idea what the suggested first print was suppose to be.

What should be my first print? Is there a calbration or test print that has some other usefullness?

You could print out a marvin. Alot of hubs here do that and then are able to compare them and print settings to optimise their process. Good luck :wink:

There is a boat that a lot of people use but I’d just dive straight in and print something you want.

if you have any extra time on your hands you should check out makers muse the YouTube channel he has a play list called 3D printing 101. This will help you understand 3D printing terms such as infil and layer height.
