I think I just about dialed in a profile, but I’ve yet to get to a place where I can just hit print and get a thing. Tinkering with it was fun for a minute, but i want a system that just works. And if that means buying a prusa printer, with prusa slicer, and prusament I’d be more than happy to go that route. I want to focus on what to print, not how. At least not now, I could definitely see me getting into it more, and then wanting to eventually do more complicated stuff requiring customizations of hardware and software, and materials, but it’s hard to get in the mood to go deep when struggling to do the basics.
I use PrusaSlicer and their Ender profiles with no tinkering and get consistently great prints.
