'''Old/Brittle Filament''' ... do NOT leave this filament loaded when done printing!
* Operational ... it can be '''Problematic'''
 
* '''Last known good settings:''' 220°, 110% flow, print 60mm/s, travel 120mm/s, 0.4 mm nozzle size, 2.85mm filament size.
YS White PLA (from Amazon.ca)
* OLD crap Transparent PLA. (Do '''not''' use with anything that is constantly retracting.)
*'''Last known good settings''': (05-Dec-2017, Pastel Yellow PLA)  '''220&deg;''', 138% flow, print @ '''50mm/s''', travel @ '''150mm/s''', 0.4 mm nozzle size, 2.85mm filament size.
**note: the reason the flow is pumped-up is because the print-head is misaligned and causing drag on the filament. I suspect you could even up the flow and the speed and get decent (but still crappy) prints. If you want to print slower for higher precision you may need to reduce the flow (but <110% flow at any speed will cause under-extrusion)
* 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.

* The Carbon Fiber Plate flatness is only "good enough". (It seems to have a slightly high center.)
** Using a Brim to hold parts to the Print Bed is strongly recommended.

** Bed was leveled, but wood support structure is loose! (See Known Issues and Fixes section about that.)

** If head too close & extruder starts clicking, that can cause filament feed problems.

* Set X-axis to about 102% of Y-axis Scale to get square/round prints. (Pink 20mm X/Y/Z cube beside printer.)
