 Models:

The supplied models are in a 3MF format with print settings to suit a CR10S Pro / CR6SE or Ender3, using steel nozzles and a PEI print surface. If you wish to print with alterative nozzle materials and print surfaces, this is entirely your choice. But you will have to modify the print settings using Cura.

Printing with PLA will produce a robust machine. PETG / ABS are not necessary and these materials will cause more problems than they solve.
