checklist after long break from printing
gonna dust off the old mk2 this week and do some printing
from the moment I built it I have been printing pretty consistently up until about 6 months ago or so when other life stuff took priority, I haven't used it since then
what would be a good preflight checklist to go through before my first print?
check screws
check belts
oil stuff??
dust things off
check zip ties
update firmware
rerun self check
pray
recalibrate
recalibrate z first layer
Re: checklist after long break from printing
Your list looks good. I would add:
1) Clean the bed. With pure acetone.
2) Run some cleaning filament through it - if you have any (worth having around).
3) There have been a lot of features added in the last 6 months. Consider a firmware upgrade, and get the latest slicer.
I would not oil unless I felt something wasn't sliding properly. Then I would only use an appropriate lubricant for the thing not moving. Search the forum for discussions.
