Hi Scott this is your best buddy The Greene printer Magician Do you think this class would be a help to me. You kind of know what I know and do so what do you think? Are there things in this class that would help me to be better at the printing I do?

Email: Michael.Buller@gcts.com I'm interested in "Troubleshooting and 3D Printing Beyond PLA" Will this course teach me about slicer settings and how to perform calibration tests such as temperature cal. Also, will I learn how to identify types of issues, such as under extrusion, and how to fix them?
