The filament did not look squished and the button crumbled. I tried to print a small joystick button - and it appeared that the Z axis was too high. STL files via USB using Simplif圓D and a i3 profile I got from a friend. I printed the whistle from the SD card and it looked great - though there was a bunch of loose filament inside the whistle - I assumed that was normal - but is it? I performed a LIVE Z offset and was able to get the filament to look like the one in the handbook and it adhered well. After doing so - I feared I might have screwed something up - so ran a full reset calibration. I purchased an already assembled i3 - after turning it on and watching it go through its steps - I realized I did not cut the cable ties underneath the bed. I am very excited however to now own a Prusa, but I know I need to relearn a little bit. (Recently, I was having hardware problems with my Lulzbot - and found out that Aleph Objects laid off all their staff and sold all its assets to FARGO and is no longer supporting its customers at the moment - which is shame.) - I wanted to get another printer that had great reviews and found Prusa. I have been using a Lulzbot Min and Cura Lulzbot edition for about 1 year now. Hi guys - I am new to Prusa, but not 3D printing. Z Offset - hardware calibrated vs slicer - simplif圓D
