I’ve been playing around with settings for a long time, here is a side by side comparison of when I thought I was dialled in vs now. The chimney is missing on the first benchy as it had an accident and I couldn’t be bothered at the time to reprint.
Wish I could be a little bit more scientific here, more of comparison after that fact vs intentional.
There is a bit of an infill issue, K-Factor needs a bit more tweaking.
Zoom in for the finer details!

I think I also put the A350 on top of a large porcelain tile I had to hopefully reduce vibration for the right-hand side print.
Retraction settings are actually identical, K-Factor made quite a difference to outcomes in retraction.
First Layer
- In this one it’s interesting as there is a little repeating loop of PLA under the edge highlighted.
- Text is pretty clear underneath on right.
Front
- Lines much cleaner
- No gap between window and wall
- Less stringing
- Bridge not quite perfect
Rear
- Interesting what feels like a lower resolution on left as no hint of the name etched into the back, has a weird triangle instead.
- lot cleaner and less stringing
Side Left
- Hard to see but little loops under the roof of the bot and edge of the boat in left print.
Side Right
Should have taken a perspective shot
