Not so long ago I bought my first 3D printer. It hasn't shipped yet, but I'm gathering knowledge so hopefully I'll be able to use it when it arrives.

One of the things I noticed while choosing the printer was that many specified "perfect first layer". What's so special about it? What should a beginner such as I know about it?

It's where the Spaghetti Monster is most likely to spawn from. True believers don't walk away until the first layer is complete.
