Strida Mk1 top mount 3D printed

Hi Orzalana,

thank you - good to have a nice neighbour :smiley:

Well, I’ve purchased one of these at the end of last year:
https://www.anycubic.com/collections/anycubic-mega-3d-printers/products/anycubic-i3-mega-s
This one was chosen because I’ve read that it delivers very good printing results while being relatively cheap and the price related disadvantages are manageable (= no automatic leveling).
Meanwhile, I can confirm that the print quality is really very good, so far I’ve printed PLA and PETG.

Actually I was surprised about how easy it is to create something within a short time, for the first steps I’ve used this program:

The most fascinating thing of 3D printing for me is that one can print things to enhance the own printer! :laughing:
I’ve printed already a new PSU cover, fan funnels, leveling knobs, spool holder, hotend carrier for direct extruder and more for my Mega S. :sunglasses:

Problematic for a beginner are anyway the numerous adjusting possibilities of the slicing program which is required to control the printer, for example Cura:

To handle this, I’d highly recommend to obtain assistance by trained personnel:
