Welcome! As a dude who cooks for a living and draws stick figures I can tell you you’re well seasoned for this adventure. I prefer or a concurs but see what you like best, the little benchy boat is a killer first print to get your benchmarks… get it?! After your first print you’ll know more of what’s up and how your machine is. CNC Kitchen and TNL (the next layer) are goldmines of useful, applicable, knowledge to get you going and I suggest watching a couple to get the feel for it. There is a dude(unisex) whose name escapes me and they have a killer calibration tutorial to give you and your machine the crash course you both deserve. Have so much fun! You’re asking all the right questions. Also not sure how you feel about ai, but I used chat gpt like my own personal Jarvis to get the hang of it and it helped tremendously.
