yeah thats the hard part. all these settings interacting with each other compounding effects.
one setting causing a problem but only because another setting is set. that guide you guys posted is VERY helpful.
I am starting to think my printer is actually work pretty well and that some of these settings are to compensate for printing/filament "issues" and if you do not have those issues then the corrective setting actually causes problems.
for example I have zits. - retract start fixed the zits but may have interfered with another setting to great gaps under some conditions. very confusing.
I have not been able to rest any of this yet since I am in the middle of a 50 hours print. :-)
Re: Bad Slicer settings? what do I have to change?
Yeah, their troubleshooting guide is only half the story, IMO. It's a bit like machining in this regard, you can do a lot with a not great machine, but you have to be very aware of how everything interacts with everything else. When programming a lathe, I often have to consider, for instance, the flexibility of the piece, depth of cut, speed of the part, feed of the tool, etc. Any one of these parameters being off can make a problem that could look like the fault of any one of the other factors.
