My print settings for nicer/faster and more hasslefree print

Before K2 I printed mainly with Qidi， PETG and ASA. Most are the same as I print also on the Qidi Bambu printer. Only if I need stronger prints (more than 2 walls) or stronger infill or brim and support I need to change something. If I do not need strong rings I use Lightning infill for example to reduce material and print time. I will make another post describing the filament profiles a create for all filaments I use on the printer. ， visually and with finger，。

extruder and speed capabilities. An example i a test the Seam gap size. Here I created 6 discs with 2% - 12% seam gap and print it (in this case it’s with my white eSun PLA+HS which I use nearly for all Lithophane and hueforge prints. The top layer in my print settings is always ‘Concentric’ and therefore you will see the seem after a short print on the discs. 2025-01-31_164823 2365×1668 339 KB The finished print (it has only 3 layers) was sliced with a prediction of 7 minutes and 4 seconds on the slicer (my profile without Z-hop). With the original profile it slices with a 7:14 predisction， Bamu and Elegoo printers and used lately Orca slicer. On K2 I use now CPV6 which has nearly same functionality but supports also interface with CFS. Anyhow， mainly printing with first layer 0.16 and thereafter with 0.08 mm. Some of the changes I tested before on each printer to adjust for the different nozzle。

the standard print profiles are seldom used because I learned to dial in my own adaptations. I therefore create first a own printer profile (for each different nozzle). My setup is now that I use the Qidi for 0.6mm nozzle and the K2 for the 0.4mm and therefore I currently need only one (personal) printer profile which has only two changes to the default one: These are the only changes to my user preset printer config Creality K2 Plus 0.4 NZH which I use since then. I also build up some personal process settings， with all PLA， 10 seconds more (the printer measure at the end of the print with taking and returning filament from/to CFS 8 minutes for my and 9 minutes for the original profile). 20250131_162735 1920×1440 421 KB Now I used the finger to check the seam line and the 4% was the nicest， actually a normal (fast) for 0.2 and 0.24 mm layer height and a higher quality one for 0.16 and also 0.2 again. In the HQ ones the speed is reduced to 150mm/s outer and 200mm/s inner walls. Also jerk is reduced to 7. I also have some special settings for Hueforge and Litiphane prints。

therefore it’s in my profile as well. Some other things I change in the profiles are: Only one wall on first layer and on top surface Extra perimeter on overhangs Bottom flow ratio = 1.02 Elephant foot compensation = 0.12 Seam position: Aligned Staggered inner seams: On Sparse infill density 15 Sparse infill pattern: Adaptive Cubic Avoid crossing walls: ON Avoid corossing walls - Max detour: 50 Brimtype: No-brim Support: normally off， if On mainly On build plate only! These settings I use for 99% of the prints。
