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

    For PLA I set set it as prusiment in my slicer and forget it. That’s hot enough to do silks and fancy filaments. It’s hot enough to have good layer adhesion.

    For octoprints I print the first layer at 215°C to help with adhesion then turn it down to 205°C to avoid stringing.

    Special non-pla filaments I do what’s suggested.
