* OLD crap Transparent PLA. (Do '''not''' use with anything that is constantly retracting.)
* Black PLA/PHA (This needs different retraction settings from PLA.)
* There is a custom filament feeder on the back of the machine. Use the little red chock in the position shown here to ensure the pinch roller can grab the filament properly.

* DO NOT USE Isopropyl Alcohol on the '''IPG Blue Tape'''. (On any other make of Blue Tape using that is fine.)
* The wood support structure that holds the printbed is loose! At least on 1 side, a partial disassembly may be needed, to reverse which side the bolt heads are on, and which side the nuts are on.

** '''FOR NOW:''' Grab both sides of the front '''wood''' structure (just outside the bed level screws), then gently move one side up, while the other moves down, to get the bed level. (Bed seems to stay level for printing once ajusted.)
