Also it's hard to get the bottom layer perfect (always adjusting flow and such) and so it may take 5 tries to get a good red layer but the remaining white part always works perfect.

    I just needed to try it myself, and yes indeed getting the first layer good is very difficult. Most of the time the letters won't stick to the buildplate.

    But finally I got some succes, thanks for the advice!

    To get the letters to stick better try printing a bit hot - maybe 230C for the blue layer only. Also move the bed a smidge closer to the nozzle - don't re-level. INstead just turn the 3 knobs 1/4 turn such that they loosen the bed to let it rise (counter clockwise looking from below).

    Also this will look a little better if you up the flow maybe. Well if you raise the bed 1/4 turn you probably don't have to increase the flow.

    Another tip: in cura pay attention to the blue and white squares that represent the "bed". They are 10mm wide each. Place your two parts such that the left edge of the yellow part is lined up with one of those lines. Then place the words lined up knowing the yellow parts ends at the same edge.

        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
