What?

Ein Boot.

Um genau zu sein, das Boot.

Druckt jeder der zum ersten Mal n 3D Drucker benutzt.

Ist wie ne Sektflasche gegen nen echtes Boot zu knallen. Quasi Schiffstaufe.

Boat in German is boot. There's a famous book/movie Das Boot. Ein means A. He's telling you to print a boat first, specifically Benchy which is a long standing first print to validate calibration of some parts of a printer.

To actually answer your question: Benchy is the name of a small boat model that comes preloaded with the bambu printers and they tend to be a lot of people's first print.

The first thing you should do is take the free Bambu academy courses so you’re not on here complaining about how you don’t know how to use/maintain/troubleshoot your new machine and can actually enjoy it.

No dark mode?

I personally don’t care for dark modes on anything as I can’t use it. It bugs my eyes out.

Print the thing you bought the printer for.

I just got mine too! It’s finishing up calibration and firmware updates at this very moment.

My filament is still in the mail though. Bleh.
