Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

Hello All, yet another neophyte to 3D printing.

The quality of this forum drove the decision to go with the Rostock. Just finished the build and ceremonial printing of the fan shrouds, what a marvelous manual, thank you to Gene and all the contributors.

Next step is to climb the printing learning curve. Aside from this forum (which i will of course be scouring through), are there any suggestions for good resources to get a handle on the basics?

The first "earn its keep" job on the horizon for the printer will be some relatively thin walled tubular structures in NinjaFlex, so any heads up or words to the wise on that topic will be most appreciated.

Thanks,
Bruce

Congratulations and welcome aboard!

I too have learned a lot from this forum and continue to do so. It's a valuable resource!

Search for NinjaFlex on the site before you get goin' down that road, there are some extruder mods that need to be in place to be successful at using that stuff...

I personally would start with some of the calibration objects and print them in both PLA and ABS.
When you learn to print the calibration objects, you can print virtually anything.
Here are the links for the calibration objects:
