Also, look at the thread on acetone vapor bath if you really want to smooth your prints.  Here's the stormtrooper helmet I printed at 200 microns and then did the vapor bath.

Thought I would dip my toe in the water with this little bargain printer... (will its allot bigger than I thought).

Bought 2 days ago and running firmware is 1.1.J

Here are my first 3 prints : -)

"Attached"

I was wondering if the quality is as expected and if not are there any further improvements to be had?

Also if you have any top tips or things to look out for with this printer please let us know...

Already greased the plastic x axis belt wheel, as that's been noted a few times...

Thanks

Spannerhands....
