Print Quality Optimization

After going through Ellis' Print Tuning Guide and doing the Extruder Calibration, Pressure Advance/Linear Advance, and Extrusion Multiplier, I found these additional settings after watching multiple videos to improve print quality.

After trying many, many, many things to get rid of inconsistent layer lines, I've gotten the printer to print at a reasonable quality while still printing relatively fast. These are the settings that really made a difference for me.

1. Layers and Perimeters/Filament Override

Enabling External Perimeters first ensures that the outer layer is printed first before the internal layers. This may be counter intuitive as you'd think that the outer layer would have no internal layer to connect with, but it allows for more accurate dimensions overall with parts and actually ends up helping overhangs.

Setting the Minimum travel after retraction to 1 mm eliminates unnecessary retractions and z-hops when only a small amount of travel is needed to print the outer wall.
