Calibration cube tuning
Just finished printing the calibration cube.
I'm amazed at the results, however I'd like to know what and how I should tune the printer/slicer now based on the cube.
The threaded bolt screws in a couple turns, however is quite stiff so immediately I think Xy compensation would be required.
There's some ugly overhangs as well, would fan speed or print speed fix that issue, or is it more temperature related?

check for stringing inside the square box threads, I had to turn fan % down to fix this. PA tune also would help. If you are not using Orca Slicer probably I good time to migrate to it as it seems to be the one may use around here (correct me if I'm wrong)
This was pretty much spot on, way less fan speed (more heat really)
not sure why standard profiles have 100% fan its far to strong really odd
My standard for prusa was 60 I think from memory, I use around 25 - 50 now at most.
I miss Australia weather, our ambient temperatures are so cold where I am now that I found I have to run the prints on the hotter and slower side until I get an enclosure
I’m in melbourne so weather is not so good just like our politicians! Current fans are 15 and 30% using Orca.
Hahah I've lived a few years in Melbs, 100% feel that pain lol.
Yeah I think mine only hits 50 when it's a pure overhang, and even then I'm probably going to adjust it down after this conversation and see what the results are haha.
The ambient humid drafts and temp swings here make it atrocious, some days it's not so bad; but others it's like I've moved countries again and it's all out.
