Make sure you run your prints from an SD card as they go for hours and hours. You don't want a PC sitting there wasting power, going to sleep or pausing during a print.<br>
<br>
If you want high accuracy as I did then straighten all the shafts as they are generally warped or bent. I made a video on how to do it as I couldnt find any info on how to do it cheaply e.g. without a granite bed.<br>

Consider a model that is easy and low cost to fit a heated bed. In my opinion you should stay away from machines that have twin steppers on the Z axis as this creates errors in your prints. I could rant on this but I won't hehe. I have been looking at the CORE XY models for my next printer as they look like one of the simplest, accurate compact designs.<br>
