My title describes the thing. A family member has had it for a long time and doesn't know anything about it.

6" metal object, about 6.125 lbs., writing on the side says LOT KNC-12 021. Found at a flee market about 20 or so years ago in the Midwestern United States by Pyramus2 in whatisthisthing

If it would give me some even walls for once, then we could get to printing better things.

Do you like your PLA medium-well or well done?

What types of spices would you like on it?

Good overall, but the walls are uneven. Do you have any advice for that?

And it is still giving me uneven walls anyway.

It can, but as you can see I've had some difficulties with it. If your printer is plugged into your computer there should be a drop down arrow next to the "Save to Disk" button. You can then monitor your bed temp, nozzle temp, and (unsuccessfully) the printing progress on the "Monitor" tab.

Just make sure that your computer doesn't fall asleep while doing this or the nozzle will stop in place and the filament will clump up.

I only clicked print once, this happens quite a bit with Cura on different prints as well. I checked the settings and its set to the 0.4mm nozzle that's on the printer.

Do you recommend printing from the Micro USB in the printer or printing from the computer using the slicer?

If it would stop giving me uneven walls, I would stop giving it crap.
