Nightmare start
So my first start in 3d printing went as expected... horrifically!
RTqTUS9.jpg
It seemed to start ok then everything was on the nozzle and being pulled and pushed around on the nozzle mid air.. I then killed the power and have not turned it back on since..
I bought this printer here.. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3511201525...530%26_rdc%3D1
I'm using the black PLA 1.75mm that came with it.
A couple of things that could be issues..
1) I didn't receive filament guide/feed tubes.. so didn't use anything.. Any tips on what to buy? Ebay doesn't appear to come up with anything apart from one source from Hong Kong.. presumably some tubing not unique to the 3d world is what I'm after..
2) Firmware is 7.2
3) I used makerware to load 20mm calibration box. Then changed bed temp to 50 degrees. Nozzle to 210 degrees. Feed rate to 90mm/s.
4) 0.2mm layer.. 50% infill. 2 shell layers
5) Print bed was flat, although perhaps a little too tight to the paper? I could push around but there was resistance..
Am I right in assuming the nozzle is finished now? I've bought another and can swap the left one to the right in the mean time.. would I have damaged anything else too?
Any help greatly appreciated..
