gotta say one of my absolute least favorite things about 3d printing is the thing where you have to step the print head up and down by 10 microns at a time to make sure it's in the ideal Zone where the melted plastic sticks to the print surface but isn't squished into the print surface in an inaccurate way that is bad

in reply to @vogon's post:

there are auto-leveling parts for this but good luck installing them if youre using a low end printer that requires you to solder stuff on, not really in a regular persons comfort zone imo, too much perceived risk of breaking stuff you spent a lot of money on

oh yeah this printer has a bed leveling sensor, even, but that last bit of dialing in your first layers across the bed so you can print things that require close tolerances sucks too
