Hi, all. So my first ever 3D printer is on its way to me. I went with an Elegoo Centauri Carbon, partially for the option of using OpenCentauri firmware. I have been looking at various models on printables.com and Thingiverse, getting excited for the possibilities. I would just like to ask if there are any big pitfalls I should look out for as I’m starting my 3D printing adventure. What mistakes did you make when you were just starting out? What resources do you wish you were aware of earlier? What general advice can you give me?
Thanks in advance, and have a lovely day.

This is a great series of videos. It’s for Fusion 360, which is also free, but the lessons work for most software. It starts off easy and works up to more complex stuff.

This is a great tutorial for FreeCAD, but it starts out kinda complex already, so I would recommend this after you start to figure out a little bit first.
