* The bed is huge and takes a while to heat up, I suggest setting the bed to heat up before you slice your file (to save time). There is an insulating pad beside the printer you can put on top of the bed to speed up heating.

* At the home screen, where it shows the nozzle temp and bed temp, fan speed, print speed, etc -> those are buttons you can push to adjust those values (do not have to go through the menu). You can do this while a print job is running to live adjust. Note: if you adjust a value and then in the gcode there is a command to set that value to something, then the printer will obey the gcode commands it gets. Most relevant for setting the fan speeds since those may be changing at different times in the print job. | |||
