Notes

Factorian Designs OrcaSlicer calibration masterclass: matte white PLA temperature tower; author found overall best results around 215–220°C (detail cones still good at 215°C; higher temps improved overhangs but increased stringing and hurt bridging). Same spool’s max volumetric flow calibrated to 17 mm³/s (about 40% faster than the prior preset). Later flow-ratio pass landed at 0.955. Video also notes TPU may need a lower max-flow start and a PA test end value up to 0.5.
