Printing Notes
- PLA+ prints easily across most machines and is forgiving for beginners
- Start with a standard PLA profile, then fine tune temperatures for your specific printer
- Lower first layer speeds improve adhesion and reduce warping
- Keep filament dry for best surface finish and layer bonding
