The recommended order for calibration is as follows: The recommended order for calibration is as follows:
1. **[Temperature](temp-calib):** Start by calibrating the temperature of the nozzle and the bed. This is crucial as it affects the viscosity of the filament, which in turn influences how well it flows through the nozzle and adheres to the print bed. 1. **[Temperature](temp-calib):** Start by calibrating the temperature of the nozzle and the bed.
