 Before starting to print, we should take a look at the printer itself.

+D-printing has a huge dependency on the room temperature. So if your room has
+around 30°C, simply postpone it. You have a 70/30 percent chance, that the
+print will simply ends in failure or that he refuses to print.
+The same goes of course for a room, which is to cold. Let's say around 10°C.
+You would need to change your material settings to get a somewhat good print
+and the adjusting will take at least 1 hour.
+The ideal room temperature is around 20°C. A printer cover, which leads to a
+more stable print room temperature, can help a great deal in improving. In case
+the printer posses a print cover, you need to adjust the material settings too.
+===== Filament =====
+The filament is very important as it is your print material. It's quality
+should be conserved as far as possible. We have boxes to stock all the material
+which is not used. If you change the material, be sure to put them into one of
+these boxes.
