**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)

* Operational ... it can be '''Problematic'''

** Changing filaments has become a pain in the neck, see Known Issues section for details. Full printhead overhaul is probably due, but meh could get a couple more print-hours out of it lol
** Using a Brim to hold parts to the Print Bed is strongly recommended.

** Bed was leveled but Print Bed is NOT perfectly flat! (Back/Right corner worst.)
** Bed was leveled, but wood support structure is loose! (See Known Issues and Fixes section about that.)
** The Z axis Zero Stop is inconsistent/unreliable. It is set a bit low & user manually turns the Z-axis screw (clockwise) to bring head towards the bed just until 1st layer becomes flat.
** 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.)

* Loaded with Black 2.85mm PLA/PHA filament (this works well @ the 30mm/60mm speeds.)
