Topic: first day at the 3d printer

so i figure the best way to learn, is to start small and build on to that... so most of the day i try to print this basic pieces i did in cinema, after alot of basic mistakes, once i got this 1cm pz (4 in) righ i "push it a little"and try the same piece on half the scale..wich is close to the printer specs....,  .5cm ( 2 in)... at the end i was very happy with both results..... so tomorrow i can move on to bigger more complex shapes.... i share some pictures and screen captures of this process,,, very helpful practice
