Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I&#8217;m happy to help anyone with their printer, but a benchy is a bad choice for a first print. It&#8217;s not made to be a first print because of its small first layer surface area, its harsh overhangs, its fine details, and its thin walls.I believe I speak on behalf of a majority of \/r\/3dprinting members when I say we&#8217;re tired of seeing people ask what to do when their benchy fails and it&#8217;s their first print.I&#8217;d suggest printing a calibration cube first. Those are good at indicating basic problems like over or under extrusion, bad surface adhesion, blobs, stringing, and a lot of other easy fixes.Also of you&#8217;re a beginner, please check Simplify3Ds Troubleshooting Guide because it has lots of useful information for fixing small problems.Thus concludes my rant.
