I notice that STl files I import into S3D are placed on their side. These are simple designs that were created in Fusion 360. Is that normal? After a few minutes of fiddling, I found I can chose place surface on bed/Command L then click on the bottom to get it to turn.

Thank you very much. Cannot wait to get my M2 today!

I was considering using a spare UPS to power my M2. Is this advisable and are others using a UPS with their M2? I didnt see any mention of using a UPS in the beginner guide.

Since I am waiting for my M2, I decided to find some simple items to print and I found the link below. Do others use something like this with their M2? The beginner guide mentions them and I am not sure which one is recommended to print. M2 should arrive tomorrow. Getting stoked! http://www.thingive...

i have an alternate table that is quite a bit more sturdy I'll use until i can find a permenant solution. And no, i was not planning on sleeping with the M2! It will live in the craft room aka wife's sewing room or my office one I find a suitable table for it.

How deep does it need to be? What would be some minimum dimensions you would recommend?

Thanks,
Jerold

I will receive my M2 on Monday and want to make sure I have a sufficient table for the printer. Please take a look at the attached picture and let me know if I should find something else.

Thanks,

Maybe a library of videos showing tasks like clearing clogs and upgrading to dual extrudes among others. This would go along way to assuage anxieties a beginner may have maintaining or upgrading the...

Thank you all!

I have prInted the manual and beginner manual and have started to look at cad videos on you tube.

Do I need to worry about getting a spare hot end/nozzle right away?

Thank you,
