The object is built from the bottom up, one sliver at a time.

Rafts and SupportsShould be removed from the project when it is finished printing.
Supports help prints with extreme overhangs. If you have an overhang that extends out at greater than 45 degrees, then you need a support.
Rafting helps with uneven shapes or prints that have trouble sticking to the build plate

trim the end of the filament before loading and don’t be afraid of pushing too hard when loading.
Staff can’t load and unload spools. The color that is on is the color your print will be.
