Fine tuning filament settings
Hello,
Got a few MK2's running at home but I always print on the default settings Prusa provides.
I'm pretty sure I could dial in my filament settings much better, since every spool, brand, color will be a little different.
I guess it's probably also best to dial in my printer settings, since every build is different?
Does anyone here has a good procedure on how to really fine tune your print settings well for each filament brand,... ?
Cheers,
Tom

Re: Fine tuning filament settings
I've only printed almost 1 kg of the filament that was shipped with the printer and almost 1 kg of some that I got as a christmas present 2 years ago when I thought i would recieve a printer using kickstarter.
Anyway, my experience with those 2 is that one of them is a tiny bit more runny than the other, producing more stringy stuff when the print head moves through air. experience:
Temp settings 200 or 210 degrees: little change.
Retraction length raised from 0,8mm to 1mm: little change.
K-factor raised from 30 to 35 or 40: gives underextrusion with direction changes so requires more overlap between perimeters and infill but that might give other issues.

Nobody will laugh!
Not really the answer I was looking for Sebastian, but thanks!
I'm just curious if you guy use a temperature tower, to check which temperature provides best bonding, less stringing, overall quality, ... Or just something totally different.
