I had a hobby delta printer made from plywood and fishing string. Built it in like 2015. Quickly outgrew it and was throwing it out when my wife asked me to give it to her mom (who has trouble using an iphone.) I yeeted that thing in the trashcan like it was on fire.

they haven't really been out in the wild long enough for a solid general consensus
Everyone I know with a 'fast' 3d printer is constantly fucking around with it trying to fix stuff. I'm super anxious for some ot'ers to get these machines and give us some honest opinions.
Well, it's here...I've got everything put together but I think I fucked up the calibration somehow by trying to follow a youtube guide.
Apologies if this picture is fucking huge, IDK how to change it
This is my bed, looks like the nozzle was too close and just dragged across it. I hope it didn't permanently fuck up something.

Creality Ender 3 Neo V2. I was doing everything the guy said in the video but I feel like I missed something.
This is the video I watched. Everything was fine until started getting into the actual offsets and leveling process which is around 24:25
I did the auto-level but I feel like I fucked up somewhere on the manually adjusting section.

flip side, if you enjoy hotrodding a printer you probably value uptime a lot less, or are willing to compromise on it
definitely nothing permanent, it's basically a write of passage to draw on your PEI like thatWell, it's here...I've got everything put together but I think I fucked up the calibration somehow by trying to follow a youtube guide.

did you stop your print because it was dragging or did the rest of it work fine?

Ok cool, look up “z offset”I stopped it. I assumed it was fucked and would just be a waste

Basically bed leveling is one step, setting the offset of the nozzle vs bed is another step that comes after
I put a huge dent in my sheet on my Prusa first day as well. I just flipped it and only used the other side of the surface.

ayyyy, this test print looks decent to me so far. I'm glad I went ahead and gave it another shot. It's just a square block but it's working lol
lightly wetsand it with like 1500 grit+ sandpaper and itll be like newput a bunch of streaks/gouges in my 2.4 bed
I stopped the print early since it was just a block and I could get the general idea of how it was printing. I noticed it had a little trail from cancelling in the middle, is this normal?
The edges seem bumpy/notchy, I don't know a good word to describe it. This is my first time printing so I have zero expectations, I just wanna know if I'm doing it correctly
