I have resumed the folly of 3d printing after a nearly year long hiatus

place your bets until how long it'll be until I'm ranting about how printers are a sin against man and god

crashed my slicer

I'm printing a calibration cube because I don't know what state I left this printer in.

presumably in the standard state of "it kinda works but I don't trust it"

crashed my slicer again
and again
third attempt worked.
I probably should have updated octoprint before hitting go, and I probably should have done some manually leveling, but hey, it seems to be printing so far.
also the filament has been sitting in a garage, loaded into the printer, for a year.
it's probably really shit by now. as soon as the cube finishes I'm gonna need to swap to something, anything, else
there's a lot of work that can and should be done on this printer, but it's all gonna be limited by the fact I can't stand up for more than 5 minutes
well, there's something going on with the z-axis, but it printed more or less.
@foone Looks like underextrusion, which could be any number of things, but it could easily just be the filament degraded sitting there so long.
@jimp @foone I would agree with this assessment. I would also suggest switching from the chep cube to the Cali Cat model for these basic function tests.
@Argonel @jimp for any technical reasons, or just because it's way cuter?
@foone @jimp purely for appearance. It becomes plastic trash that is worth looking at vs boring plastic trash.
@Argonel @foone No matter how a printer mangles a poor CaliCat someone will take pity and want it.
