D3D Universal First Print Checklist

Assume we have power and correct motion - how do you assure the printer extruder is working properly? This is specific to extruder - outside of any other controller and system integration issues:

1. Check temperature of nozzle - look at LCD screen. Make sure 230C
2. If at temperature, load filament. Did it go in right away. If not take out filament - look down the hole and check alignment. Make sure the filament drive gear - perfectly aligns above heat break hole.
3. If 3 mm filament - make sure that it doesn't widen out at the cut and that it's 2.85 mm, not 3.0 mm
4. Easy flow if you push it in by hand.
5. Check the babystepping. For smooth flat first layer.
6. Make sure physical obstruction does not exist for print bed going above end 3D printed pieces on bed.
7. Make sure you have thermal paste beteen heat sink and fan heat sink
8. Make sure you have theraml past - on the heat break into the heat sink
9. Make sure the fan is spinning.
10. Make sure the set screw is hight on extruder drive gear.
11. Make sure the line on end of extruder shaft is spinning.
12. Check that filament is feeding through by marking with a white sharpie. Or feel by hand.
13. Make sure tension on spring is tight - put shims in the pocket if not.
14. Make sure the extruder tension screw is tight
15. Make sure that when you hold filament, it pulls hard - you can't stop it readily.
16. Make sure nozzle is below the plastic printed parts
17. Make sure height probe is ABOVE nozzle
18. Cut off the tip of heat sock.
19. Let printer extruder cool down before turning the fan off

Software First Print Checklist

1. Make sure you have 1.75 or 2.85 on the filamnet size
2. Make sure you have Marlin Universal here
3. Make sure you have Marlin Universal .ini file.
4. Check that measurements of parts are correct in FreeCAD.
