i've seen endless threads preaching perfect bed level every single print?? honestly it's just noise... most PLA prints will stick fine with a rough level, you waste hours tweaking and still get the same result?? stop treating it like a holy ritual, just get the job done lol i don't care if the first layer is a bit uneven, the model will still look fine after a few coats??

so there i was at a craft fair last year... first time selling my 3d printed 'art'... tbh i had zero idea what i was doing. i made this... thing... that was supposed to be a 'modern abstract cat' but it just looked like someone puked plastic near a toaster. i had a sign that said 'limited edition' and 'handcrafted with love'... and i priced it at $500. no joke. one guy actually bought it because he thought it was a 'postmodern commentary on consumerism' or some bs. i still have the receipt... it haunts me. imo this is why we can't have nice things. how do people even set prices without straight up robbing their customers??

tbh this is so annoying i just spent 3 hours debugging my printer and im not even close to satisfied... petg is supposed to be 'easy' but my nozzle keeps clogging like its 2018 all over again?? i got the prusa mmu2 setup and its basically a paperweight now because the filament keeps oozing like a bad breakup... anyone else have this issue with the 0.4mm nozzle? i tried 220c temp and 25mm/s speed but its still jamming harder than a creality ender-3 v2 on 100% infill... and dont even get me started on the 'magic' retraction settings they recommend... 1.5mm retraction distance? more like 1.5mm of hope that it actually retracts lol... if youve fixed this let me know rn before i throw my printer into a lake
