There are 3 types of printers that are strong choices for your foray into the 3D printing world – bedslingers, CoreXY, or DIY printers. Of course, each type has its own barrier to entry regarding the skill level needed to master the printer and there's a tough learning curve if you've never worked with mechanics, but the journey is more than rewarding.
You're new to 3D printing and you buy your very first 3D printer, a Creality K1. Eager to get started, you load up Orca Slicer and start everyone's first print, the 3D Printer Benchy – a little sailboat that represents the expertise of the 3D printer operator. However, your beginner status is quickly revealed by the little flaws in the form of pock marks, under extruded layers, and a layer shift in the whole top half of the print. Disappointed by your first print, you think “Now what? What can I do to create a flawless benchy?”
