Your first print will fail. That's the machine, not you.

New Bambu and Ender owners do the same three things in week one:


They slice a huge model. They skip washing the bed. They tweak five settings at once.


A dirty PEI sheet will ruin a perfect STL. So will a first layer that's 0.3mm too high. Spaghetti is almost never "the file is bad."


Do this instead:

  • Print something that finishes in 20 minutes.

  • Use the stock PLA profile. One change at a time.

  • If it fails twice, stop and look at the first layer, not Reddit.


I keep a starter pack of print-ready files for that first week, and a separate 1-hour live debug if you want someone on the slicer with you. Files and repair are not the same product on purpose.
