Getting Started with the Monoprice 3D printer

This video shows the steps taken after the initial installation of the Monoprice 3D Maker Select V2 printer (product 13860). Specifically it shows how to get the wire guides secured and level the printbed, how to heat the extruder and install PLA filament, and then how to print your first print off the micro sd card. These videos were created for educators and were designed with the following learning objectives:
A-Tell how a 3D printer homes its axes, which is how the
printer determines its zero position in x, y, and z.
B-Identify the stop switches on the 3D printer
C-Level the printbed
D-Install PLA filament (the plastic)
E-Start a print job stored on the micro SD card
F-Decide if a print job needs to be restarted based on how the
first and second layers of plastic print
