Help! noob in over his head with new ("used") Tenlog TL-D3-pro setup :-(

revised:

1. find and set Z offset to the slicers equivalent of Set position command: G92 Z0.1 - I think slicers usually handle this as some variation of z offset = -.01 this will squish the first layer somewhat for better adhesion
2. find where the slicer sets an initial speed and set it to 40 mm/s for 3 layers (60mm/s thereafter?)
3. find where the slicer controls bed temperature and raise it to 66C for PLA on a glass bed
4. find where the slicer controls initial fan speed and turn it off until layer 2, or speed is 0 until layer 2 or however slicer handles that
5. find where slicer controls fans general speed and make sure will be on at 100% at layer 2
6. find retraction and set to 5mm and speed to 65 (tested for PLA on my D3)
7. load .slt
8. slice and save
9. re-wash glass. dry glass. begin preheat to 200 on each nozzle and 66 on bed.
10. when pre-heated, wipe with vinegar. allow to dry.
11. apply thin layer of glue
12. transfer file and print.
13. watch printer beautifully lay down perfect foundation layer.
14. get coffee.
15. clean up PLA spaghetti mess and retrieve and photograph first layer debris from floor for post-mortem discussion.

please keep them coming...

My 3d printing hobby may be over for a while.This morning I made a foolish attempt to print two copies of the small over/under extrusion test in mirror mode using the ideamaker slicer recommended in a review posted earlier in the thread.https://3dprintbeginner.com/tenlog-tl-d3-pro-review/ and https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1622868I selected that in part because it prints so fast and uses so little filament. ideamaker predicted 1.5m filament finished in 28 minutes.I came back 46 minutes later to the disaster pictured below. Note that the clips had even gotten displaced off of the glass and the glass was now askew on the print bed. too bad i immediately turned the printer off instead of simply hitting stop or you'd also see that the print progress bar indicated that 46 minutes had elapsed and the print was estimated as approximately 2% completed on the progress bar. my PLA prints tend to be odorless but this room smelled like a hot box of crayons. not good. I don't really know anything about clogs but I'd guess best case scenario I have some lengthy maintenance activities ahead of me to somehow declog these extruders. I also see no reason why this hardened backed up PLA might not have fouled and destroyed both extruders or at least hard to replace components of them.In the future *maybe* ill walk away from the start of a print again. But I'll be damned if I ever use a new slicer without staying in the room for at least one entire successful print start to finish. New slicers appear to be dangerous things even for short familiar prints.
