I see a lot of people claim they tune/calibrate their printer any time they use a new spool of filament. But does anyone actually do this? It feels like a waste of time when filament is so consistent, even between brands. I can understand doing it for specialty rolls, but for basic pla? Seems unnecessary

    I print a temp tower for every new brand I get and save that as a profile. Has worked fine for me for years

      Same here. New brand, new temp tower. Maybe a new color if on the spool it looks different.

      New brand seems reasonable. I still don’t even do that, but I also don’t care too much if it’s not a perfect print haha
