After the complete assembly in the 2 videos that I uploaded previously, we got a 3d printer in theory fully functional, and in this video we are going to turn it on for the first time, check if it works, and prepare it for the first print, with the basic adjustments necessary to get a decent print.

For that we will download Ultimaker Cura and we will create a 3d printer in the software that matches our CTC Prusa i3.

At the end of the video we have discovered our first 2 problems with the Chinese 3d printer, the lack of layer fan and the excess of vibrations. We will solve this problems in the next episode.
