LOL

All things considered, he is doing quite well

You want it hot enough to melt and bond, but not so much it is gooey.

I have printed a few things now and just did a benchy still some small errors so....if you could take a look and give me an idea of what adjustments. I am about to print a 20x20 cal cube and measure with my new .00 digit calipers.

just spent the evening going over a few calibrations, and some initial settings to get him headed in the right direction

I am expecting good things from this one.

I'm not going to get into any verbal judo over the relative merits of the math.  Much like the bed adhesion issue...everyone stick with what works for you.  (Pun intended)

I will admit to being a dinosaur, LOL

have no desire - or need - to add any of those fancy schmancy "bed leveling" do-dads to my SD4s.
