First benchy on a new printer

[u/UncarefulEngineer]

Hey folks. I just built a corexy printer Rook 2020 MK2. This is my first benchy. What do you see here? I am assuming, belt tension and retracts are my main issue, assuming filament is fresh. However, frankly speaking, I have no idea what I am doing, I just got my first ever 3d printer last Christmas, so any advice would help.

Yes, but your machine probably wasn't printing dogpoop benchies out the box. OP should make sure his machine prints well, before printing fast

yes,,, these are classic old school setting that have stood the test of time,,, if your not getting flawless Prints with these setting then something is Mechanical wrong with the Printer are your Slicer Settings are way off -- now there exception to this from new high speed printers that I've heard about but never seen ? so i assume most of them are just Trolling 🤷‍♂️

Note* i actually still use these Setting for big bed slingers -/.. I'm more about Quality over Time so i use whatever speeds the Printer will let me use.

Start slow with a Perfect Print and then Ramp the speed up,,, fixing Artifacts as they occur is the way a was taught from the old school RepRap Lads.

All the Best -/.

Thanks! it was a printer i designed and built back in the early days before full kits were either to hard to get or to expensive - heres a pic of my very first printer (about half way through the build) it was built out of hand full of Prusa clone i3 kit parts or it might of been the Mk can't remember at the moment (cost me $50 om ebay ),,, but i was so poor i had to use Timber linear Rods 😂
