Strings & boogers

That’s Z-Offset. When I start a print, I do a skirt or brim with three to five lines. And while it is laying down the skirt, I use the touchscreen to fine-tune the Z-Offset. The individual skirt/brim lines should connect and be squished down, but not so much that material evades to the sides. Here are some pages from the net which illustrate this well:

The last page has a very good photo:

Nah, not really. Speedwise for PLA I use 50-60 mm/s for first layer, 100-120 mm/s for the rest (I’m an impatient man who can live with some imperfections - doing mainly functional stuff - you may want to stay below 100 mm/s if you want it look nice…), and that usually works. Temperature is something to test out - either with a temperature tower, or by running a print and see if I’m happy. Values on the spool are for orientation IMHO :slight_smile:

Say what you want about Luban, but reading what others post the default profiles that Luban provides seem to work for many people - did you try if you succeed with them?
