Just printed my first benchy! I must admit I'm super impressed at how clean it printed, just the tiniest whisps of stringyness but otherwise it looks super clean. I assume the gcode for the file that came on the card is well tuned for success (it had a bit of a raft, not sure if that's default in a benchy).

Bed leveling was really easy with the inductive sensor, everything seems simple enough.

Took a loooong time though, like 1:45, but I guess that's probably the most conservative settings for an initial feel good success.

The printing is SUPER quiet, like quiet enough that I don't mind it being on the desk behind me. The power supply fan though is very loud. Will have to put it somewhere else and probably setup a camera so I can keep an eye on it, the only downside of this printer is no filament sensor (though adding one seems pretty easy).

So a few questions.. should I remove the filament every time I turn the printer off? Internet seem to say no need for the easier filaments if the printer is going to be used again "soon". Otherwise the filament might get too humid. Not sure what soon qualifies as.. a day.. a week?

Is that valid for our dry climate in Calgary? Should I invest in some rechargable silica gel packets and store my filament in a ziplock bag with those if I'm not going to use it within a few days?

Anything else i should do after printing? Didn't seem to be a lot of "after your first print" instructions. I let it cool down to somewhat close to room temperature before turning it off.
