Topic: Help Me Dial In

So far I have done the following:
- calibrated extruder and flow rate
- glass bed, leveled
- adjusted tension in belts
- acrylic enclosure

I've only printed parts for the enclosure, so I wanted to try something else. I printed the Key to Eribor from The Hobbit off Thingiverse at mostly default settings (.3 mm with support)

Tonight I'm going to bump up the resolution to see what that looks like. Any other suggestions to help me get the most out of my prints?

Re: Help Me Dial In

Looks like you are still over extruding.  try dialing back the Extrusion multiplier a little

I'll give that a try. Anything else?

Adjusted the multiplier. Went from .75 to .70

Printed the key again, scaled slightly up, at .1 mm. Still need to trim some of the brim off in places, and there are definitely artifacts
