Initial Layer Height : 0.2–0.24 mm (for better bed adhesion)
Cooling Fan: ON after first few layers (100%)
🔧 Pro Tips:
Check bed leveling and adhesion before printing. A poor first layer can affect how well the rotors and wheels turn.
Print at 100% or more scale to preserve tolerances — shrinking might fuse parts. or scale
If parts don’t move freely post-print, gently twist or tap the rotors/wheels to loosen — but don’t force them.
