Cura 3d Slicer for Beginners in Depth Tutorial 

If you use the Cura 3d Slicer you should watch this video. In the video, I walk you through the steps to both create a new 3d printer profile but also how to optimize the most important slicer settings. With almost 30 minutes of hints and tips, this video has something for users of any FDM style 3d printer.
Learn how to optimize 3d Prints for your ANET ET4, Monoprice 3d Printers, Creality Ender or Creality CR10 style printers. Even if you use a different slicer, such as PrusaSlicer or Simplify 3d, this video covers valuable concepts.

G28 ; Home all axes
; Remove semicolon before G29 if the printer has ABL
; G29 ; Probe the bed with the ABL
G92 E0 ; Reset Extruder
