Blaiming my failures on slicing software

In my latest 3D printing endeavor, a multi-day project to create a giant can koozie dice tower took an unexpected turn due to a slicing software hiccup with Creality Print. A significant print failure two days in highlighted the crucial importance of monitoring the first layer. This setback led to a sidelined printer and a necessary investment in new parts. Despite troubleshooting and discovering issues with initial layer temperature settings in the slicing software, I found a workaround. My experience reaffirmed my preference to avoid "slicer hopping," emphasizing the efficiency of sticking with familiar software until a significant printing obstacle presents itself.
