3D Printing: First Layer Importance

Printing more of the satNOGS project parts out today prompted me to make this little video about the importance of getting the first layer right when 3D printing.
Generally, if you get the first layer right then all other layers will follow suit. Though this isn't always the case - especially with complex parts like the worm screw I was attempting to print with large overhangs etc. but for regular parts it is usually a good bet that all other layers will go well once the first one has laid correctly.
You can cut down on a large amount of failed prints and wasted filament by just working on getting that first layer right in the beginning.
When I get more time, I will make a lengthy video about the settings I've used for my 3D printer which you can use as a starting point for your own.
