so get this. the intended calibration test print is on the thumb drive the printer comes with. should be obvious, right?!? well I've never fucking done this before, so NO. IT'S NOT OBVIOUS. FUCKING TELL ME, ELEGOO.

apparently this model has an auto-leveling build plate. in the long run, hoping to do cool stuff with it

maybe some day, yeah. that'd be a lot of work to clean up and prepare though. I'm too inexperienced for it right now.

test print failed. fell off the build plate. will try again tomorrow with different settings.

As someone who works in the tech industry--absolutely.

They are testing the waters. These are top-down orders. The ONLY way to stop it is a visceral negative reaction. Write articles. Post your rage. Email. Post. @. All those things.

Only you have the power to kill it.

no video tutorial prepared me for shit UI/UX on a printer. none of this shit was designed for absolute beginners, and I am an absolute beginner. learning through brute force and disastrous mistakes is the way to go.

fine I'll fucking test print my own file that I sliced myself. jesus christ on a kentuky fried cross. t-rex skull upon you, bitch.

doing this actually makes me feel like I'm stupid. like I actually feel like I've had a stroke and that I'm no longer capable of reading and following instructions because what it tells me and what I see are completely different things. like trying to read in a dream.

I'm losing my mind. did I get this printer during some weird interim of an update in how they do things? the manual tells me to select a file to test print, and the file isn't fucking there? there's so many things that don't add up. instructions say one thing, the actual options don't match or exist

I think I was able to figure out chitubox. it's very obtuse, has seemingly a few ways to do something but only one correct way. just gotta keep trying until you find the one that works. I was mostly trying to get resin profiles that I downloaded through it to apply to the project.

yeah prusaslicer got recommended. this is baby's first print though, and that's advanced stuff to try later I think. just trying to figure out the basics

everything in this software is miserable to do. just trying to load a resin profile has like 4 ways to do it and none of them work.

damn, well I'll keep that in mind. wasn't expecting more expenses in addition to the hardware.

wow the Elegoo manual recommends Chitubox Basic. okay, sure. I'll just do that then.

so far Chitubox is a really bad user experience. I have a serial number for a free pro account, but every option I try they just want my money. I cannot find where to type it in to activate. the instructions on their site don't add up with ANY options the software has. is it free or not?

29.11.2025 23:39 β€” πŸ‘ 16    πŸ” 1    πŸ’¬ 2    πŸ“Œ 0

got this card to with the Elegoo 3d printer for a free Chitubox pro account, and all of the instructions are either out of date or just straight up wrong. everything described on their site didn't happen. might just not bother and stick with the basic. or try different slicing software.
