The Journey Begins

If you read my first post then you already know this, but in case you’re new here let me catch you up.  Just a few minutes ago I placed an order for the Monoprice Select Mini 3D Printer V2 and a Hatchbox PLA 1kg Spool of 1.75mm Black Printer Filament.

If those words don’t mean much to you, don’t worry, they mean next to nothing to me either at this point as I have done absolutely no research prior to purchasing it. 

All I have to go off of is a semi-organized mess of information my friend sent me to get into this fun world of 3D printing that led me to the impulse purchase of the above nerdy toys:
