#what’s the best fastest way to calibrate a printer

what have you tried to calibrate/tune?
Xyz cube not so accurate have problems with flow rate

Walls get wonky like 2 separate walls
west badger
i understand that.. but have you calibrated anything on the printer till now?
just saying the the 20mm cube is wonky. doesnt help.
austere sparrow
i understand that.. but have you calibrated anything on the printer till now?
Well I did printed fine for a bit did a firmware update and it wiped it
west badger
self compiled or from official site?
austere sparrow
Everything was tuned in wondering if there’s an easier way took me like 3 days to calibrate

Alex firmware for Aquila
west badger
if you didnt save your settings. the firmware overwrote them.
did you take notes while calibrating?
^that is probably the fasted way to calibrate your printer.. use the settings you noted down. if you didnt.. https://teachingtechyt.github.io/calibration.html <-- start from the beginning.
some settings like retraction and heat tower.. are in the slicer..
but e-steps & linear advance <- if you calibrated that are firmware settings.
PID firmware settings
flow is slicer.
did the PID with fan work?
just out of curiosity since this is your second thread.
austere sparrow
did the PID with fan work?
It was a slicer error I fixed it though
west badger
good to know.. what exactly was the issue.
austere sparrow
🤷♂️ just changed the temperature by 5°and it works fine
west badger
ehh. what..
interesting solution to wonky PID:
so i can close the previous thread?
austere sparrow
so i can close the previous thread?
Yup
austere sparrow
interesting solution to wonky PID:
🤷♂️ it worked out
west badger
yeah, each printer has its own little quirks. if it worked for you. it might work for another person.
austere sparrow
Also I noticed my nozzle is crooked

Should I upgrade heat block to something else or just use a new one
west badger
up to you. but if its working i would leave it alone till it breaks again.
austere sparrow
up to you. but if its working i would leave it alone till it breaks again.
Also my prints would print fine but one spot would never stick on my pei sheet I clean it but nothing do a couple bltouch meshes nothing
west badger
how did you clean it?
austere sparrow
99% iso
west badger
can you take it off?
austere sparrow
And a microfiber cloth
west badger
the pei sheet i mean.
austere sparrow
can you take it off?
Yup
west badger
do a clean scrub.. warm water and soap..
austere sparrow
do a clean scrub.. warm water and soap..
👍
west badger
then before the print.. rub down with iso..
austere sparrow
Okay
austere sparrow
I’ll do that tomorrow morning when I get to the shop
austere sparrow
you ever do live leveling?
Wdym
west badger
you setup you z-offset..
austere sparrow
Yup sometimes while printing
west badger
then print something like leveling squares.. really slowly.
while printing you adjust the knobs for the perfect height.
its one of the reasons its good to do a skirt on prints.. you have time to adjust knobs in case..
the other thing just might be your springs underneath the bed..
austere sparrow
Upgraded them
west badger
heat expansion might mess them up a bit.
west badger
Upgraded them
too what?
austere sparrow
Higher tension ones I found on Amazon
west badger
have a link?
west badger
under your orders there isnt a link?
austere sparrow
I didn’t order them my boss orders them on his account free shipping cause prime
west badger
lol. sounds good.
