    I am new to 3D printing. I set the coordinates to (0,0,0) but while printing it goes to the end of the printing bed and prints on the corner, with material falling down. Can you help me with how to correct it? I am using the same software with elegoo neptune 3.

    I took some stl files from thingiverse, sliced them with cura and wanted to print them with an Artillery Hornet. Although I did the same steps and kept the same settings for all of them, at some the extruder starts way up, 1-2 mm, and it prints in the air whitout material. I leveled the bed previously, but when starts printing goes up 1-2 mm. Thank you for your attention.

    I just had this problem with the Creality CR10S Pro V2. I leveled the bed at least 5 times between manual leveling before the print and leveling while it was printing the brim. On this printer, I realized there's a z-axis offset in the print options menu that brought the nozzle down closer to the bed for printing. I'm not sure what the problem is or where it originates from (presumably a setting in Cura I missed), but bringing that offset up from -1.98mm to -1.40mm fixed my issue.

    So this is probably the most remedial question you're going to get. So anything I want to print is going to be a file from a different program like CAD? I do not design my item on Cura? I have to learn CAD?

    This is correct. Sorry for the late reply brother. You DO NOT have to design your own prints though. You can download & print ANY STL file that you can find. Cura is just the "slicing" program. Once you have your design (aka STL file) you bring it into Cura and that is where you set your settings that are unique to your printer. Things like temperature, speed, etc. Hopefully you have already got a printer, and have been printing by now :) Let me know how it goes.

    Etsy also has a lot of cool stl files for $. Or Thingiverse has lots of cool stl files for free. But there are free 3D modeling apps you can play with if you want like Fusion 360 and Blender.

    anything with at least Intel i5 and up in something like a Lenovo will do it. Then pick the RAM and GIG to suit your budget. 8g with 256 or 512, etc.. I really don't think you need to go up the gaming path with the serious graphics cards and stuff.

Cura has changed a lot so I decided to find out everything I can and maybe try it again. Thanks . Your video was pretty good other than the few areas blocked. Changed my thumbs-down to a thumbs-up

    You tell the printer to print now! ….. he actually said you save the file to your sd card which goes into the printer. I think he said it 2-3 times as a beginner.
