#Master calibration collection?

Is there like a master collection of test prints ? I'm using a k1 with standard PLA by creality and my prints just seem off lately. Base layer funky in certain spots on every print, some walls not adhering to each other properly, some 3 out of 4 corners are sharp but the 4th isn't, most likely issues from just using the stock print parameters the k1 came with.
Using creality print since I'm not experienced with rooting or using other programs.

AI Help

It sounds like you may be experiencing some common print quality issues due to the stock print parameters. To address these issues, I recommend looking into calibration prints like temperature towers, retraction tests, and calibration cubes to fine-tune your settings. Additionally, checking your nozzle for clogs or wear and ensuring your bed is properly leveled can help improve print quality. If you're using Cura as your slicer, there are many online resources and guides available to help you adjust settings for better prints. It's always good to experiment with different settings to see what works best for your specific printer and filament. Good luck with your prints!

Also I don't know how to check if my bed is leveled. I've read to just go to by printers IP on the web but it doesn't show me a bed mesh. Do I have to have a print running for it to show?

Yeah, try orcaslicer

#

it has options for a bunch of calibrations, itll completely set it up for you, all you have to do it his print, interpret the results and then modify your settings

super easy

to be honest i'm not sure, i've never used a K1. If you caught me at the right time i'd find out for you but i've got some stuff going on right now. I'm not exactly sure how the K1 is accessed but if you use a URL or an IP you should be able to enter that into OrcaSlicer. OrcaSlicer PROBABLY already has a K1 profile. Give it a download and poke around for a bit i'm sure you can figure it out

Calibration
Calibration and tuning can help with all aspects of print quality.
Extruder calibration should be done only once, and then again if you change any hardware on your extruder setup (new tube, gear drive, different motor, etc).
Flow calculation should be done for every filament, even different colours from the same brand.

A number of calibration and tuning guides exist online:

Those also exist. But the built in ones from orca slicer are very good
