Anytime. Good luck! If you need advice, feel free to ping me.

My three tips are: 1-Make sure you get a good Z calibration before the first layer (run the calibration a few times). 2-Wipe with Isopropyl alcohol between prints, and 3-If you ever start getting adhesion issues, wipe with Acetone.

Oh, also, get octoprint and install it on a raspberry pi. You can run and monitor your printer remotely that way. Really easy, and so handy. https://octoprint.org/
