Topic: Newbie question

Hi all,
just got my printer today and currently it is printing the demo key chain.

Can I ask a stupid question, when I have finished printing do you just leave the filament cartridge in the printer and the filament in the head or do you remove and store?

Anything else I should know or look out for.

By the way the printer is much bigger than i expected - took me by surprise it looks smaller in the photos smile

Cheers
Ian

Re: Newbie question

Nah, you can leave it in unless you wana change the filament, just try to keep the door covered so moisture doesn't start to get to it. My only suggestion is to let the print cool down completely before you remove the object. There have been many posts about people cracking the heated bed. You will hear the print crack off by itself when it is ready to come off. Go thru as many posts as you can just to get a general knowledge of the machine.
