Back when I started my software career (2001) we did paper code review printouts in Araxis Merge. We also didn't have source control back then.

Kudos for responsibly taking down the instance πŸ‘

Check the calibration:

  1. Confirm that the outfeed table is parallel to the cutter head.
  2. Confirm that the outfeed table is level with the top dead center of the cut.
  3. Then confirm that the infeed table is parallel to the outfeed
  4. Lastly confirm that the fence, when set to 90, is square to the outfeed table.

This should all the the case right out off the pallet but it's worth a check.

I've noticed the same with laminated pieces. While I've never bothered to solve this problem I think you're on the right track, treating it more like a twice turned bowl.

I'd go with an oil-based polyurethane. Stain is your choice. While water based poly will have much less odor I've found it to be less durable.

I'm doing basic, functional stuff so there's thankfully not much to figure out. I haven't done any mods to my printer. The bed stays level as long as I'm gentle while removing the print.

The only thing I've struggled with was layer and bed adhesion during cold weather. To solve that I made a simple enclosure and also slowed down my first layer.
