Do people actually tune their printer for each new roll of filament? in c/3dprinting@lemmy.world

If you're happy with your prints, then no need to calibrate IMO. I think calibration is only necessary when you see a problem or want the best possible prints you can get. But personally, I don't care too much if a print isn't perfect, as long as it works

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

Do people actually tune their printer for each new roll of filament? (lemmy.world)
 

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
