Newbie help please.
Hi Everyone,
Yesterday I received the Prusa i3 MK3, which has never been used. The kind gentleman assembled it for me. I had attempted 3D printing a few years ago and was successful, but the hiatus until today means I am a fresher again. The printer also came with the Multilateral 2.;0 upgrade kit (this is not assembled).
I also have Silver PLA and 2 other colours.
Please can anyone guide me on creating my first print? I will be massively grateful.
Kind regards,
Sathya.

Do the pre-flight checks: https://help.prusa3d.com/guide/9-preflight-check_76792
Download Slicer: Get the full Driver and Apps package: https://help.prusa3d.com/downloads or just Slicer: https://www.prusa3d.com/page/prusaslicer_424/
Take a look at the handbook https://www.prusa3d.com/downloads/manual/prusa3d_manual_mk3_en_3_04.pdf but stay clear of any advanced calibration
Load the prusa logo or somthing similar from printables: https://www.printables.com/model/436740-prusa-keychain-sample-model (get the model file 3mf not the gcode)
Load the model into slicer use qulaity 0.2mmm generic PLA and the correct printer, do not change anything, slice, export gcode to your SD card, put tha card in the printer, load filament (see manual) and print.
If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.
