First print - advice?

I have this for my first print after initial calibration.  I think I'm in pretty good shape, but would love advice on what I may be missing.

 

Thanks!

Not bad for a first print.  I think you could go a fraction lower in your first layer Z calibration, a little more squish.

Aside from that I would rate that print as good enough for the first month.

Every user builds their printer slightly differently and pre-built models are shaken up in transit so during the first few weeks of use the printer will run-in and settle its parts together; then you will have to go over the basic maintenance checks, lubricate and recalibrate. Even if you got everything dialled in perfectly today, it would all need re-doing.

Better to settle, temporarily, for a basic working printer and get some useful printing done, make your early mistakes, establish a routine and generally get used to the process. Then when you do your one month service you can take extra care knowing the new settings on your now stable printer are likely to last for several months.

Cheerio,
