#1. Relax. There are learning curves involved.
#2. Go over that new printer with a fine-tooth comb. A printer that is not mechanically calibrated (all axis MUST be 90° to each other) will not produce good prints. Do not assume that because some parts were factory assembled that they were assembled correctly. The includes the amount of pressure that the trolley wheels exert in their slots.
#3. Calibrate the E-steps/mm. It is insurance against starting out over-extruding or under-extruding.
#4. Go to the Cura Marketplace (icon in the upper right corner) and load the "Settings Guide", the "Mesh Tools", and the "Calibration Shapes".
#5. Print stuff. Practice makes perfect.
