Please review my first print
Hello, I recently finished up my mk2s kit. I had some concerns how tight the belts should be and how smooth the rods and bearing should be, but it seems to have worked out. Calibration went without issues, the first layer Z was a bit of a guess because it was hard to tell if it "squished" enough. Below are pics of the benchy sample, if anyone can offer any confirmation that things went well. It looks nice to me, on the only I note is I don't think I could read the name on the tail if I didn't know what it said, and there is a slight marring on the bottom half at the front of the point where it's not as sharp of a point

honestly looks really good. cooling issues on the bow but thats to be expected. Print it with the bow facing forward and you'll have drastically better results.

You should look at some of the improved MK2 extruder nozzles available on Thingiverse to improve your cooling. There are a number of them.
I have tried a few, and prefer this one:

Cools from the front and side, and seals around the fan nicely. This will improve the performance on overhangs.
