What is in this one
A full first-day walkthrough of the H2D: unboxing, plate wash, first-layer check and the first real part.
- Why the textured plate needs a soap wash first
- Reading first-layer squish without a microscope
- The two calibration prints I run on every new machine
- Where the machine ended up in the workshop
The camera battery died before the AMS tour, so that section is missing. It is covered in the written first look.
If your first print fails, wash the plate again before you touch a single slicer setting.
