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.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
2. **[Max Volumetric Speed](volumetric-speed-calib):** Calibrate the maximum volumetric speed of the filament. This is important for ensuring that the printer can handle the flow rate of the filament without causing issues like under-extrusion.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
3. **[Pressure Advance](pressure-advance-calib):** Calibrate the pressure advance settings to improve print quality and reduce artifacts caused by pressure fluctuations in the nozzle.
|
||||
|
||||
- **[Adaptive Pressure Advance](adaptive-pressure-advance-calib):** This is an advanced calibration technique that can be used to further optimize the pressure advance settings for different print speeds and geometries.

4. **[Flow](flow-rate-calib):** Calibrate the flow rate to ensure that the correct amount of filament is being extruded. This is important for achieving accurate dimensions and good layer adhesion.

|
||||
|
||||
5. **[Retraction](retraction-calib):** Calibrate the retraction settings to minimize stringing and improve print quality. Doing this after Flow and Pressure Advance calibration is recommended, as it ensures that the printer is already set up for optimal extrusion.
|
||||

|
||||

**[Tolerance](tolerance-calib):** Calibrate the tolerances of your printer to ensure that it can accurately reproduce the dimensions of the model being printed. This is important for achieving a good fit between parts and for ensuring that the final print meets the desired specifications.

Next, Ellis' generator provided the ability to adjust specific printer, filament, and print profile settings. You can make these same changes in OrcaSlicer by adjusting the settings in the Prepare pane as you would with any other print. When you initiate the calibration test, Ellis' default settings are applied. A few things to note about these settings:
|

|
||||
6. Ellis specified line widths as a percent of filament diameter. The Orca pattern method does the same to provide its suggested defaults, making use of Ellis' percentages in combination with your specified nozzle diameter.
|
||||
7. In terms of line width, the pattern only makes use of the `Default` and `First layer` widths.
|
||||
8. In terms of speed, the pattern only uses the `First layer speed -> First layer` and `Other layers speed -> Outer wall` speeds.
|
||||
9. The infill pattern beneath the numbers cannot be changed because it's not actually an infill pattern pulled from the settings. All of the pattern G-Code is custom written, so that "infill" is, effectively, hand-drawn and not processed through the usual channels that would enable Orca to recognize it as infill.
