    I was reading in another thread where somebody posted that the fan should be installed with the sticker facing inward. I assume that means against the heat sink. My fan is facing outward (readable...

    Well I kicked off a print and went to bed. The first layer was fine but something didn't seem right with the filament that was going down where the supports are supposed to be located. Woke up the...
