Recommended Calibration?
Hi guys, just wondering what calibration processes (aside from the initial wizard and first layer calibration) are typically run by anyone trying to maximize quality and performance on an MK3s units.
I've put together two units so far and they are printing pretty good but I'd like to squeeze out every last drop of quality I possibly can.
Thanks in advance!
Re: Recommended Calibration?
From varous other posts/things I've found, these are relatively easy to do to tune your printer a bit more:
-Linear advance ("K" factor)*
-PID tune (hotend from menu, bed can be done via gcode if desired)
-PINDA temperature cal
-Extruder linearity
-Filament diameter*
-Filament extrusion ratio*
You may find references to extruder steps/mm but this is generally not considered to be necessary (and PR recommends against it. You can "check" the value you get but if it's anywhere close to 280, just leave the setting alone.)
The ones marked with * are best done on a per-filament brand basis (and sometimes even per-colour within that).
Don't expect huge leaps and bounds of improvement; the law of diminishing returns applies.
