Step 14.23 — Hand off to Ellis for everything after this¶
Step 23 of 36 · Chapter 14 — Calibration and tuning

Parts: none.
Do: Ellis' Print Tuning Guide is the ongoing reference from here. Work his Tuning section in his order; the numbering is his, and each step assumes the ones above it:
Check
Cooling/layer times and retraction are on the list for the next session, with the tuning log ready to record them.
What you're looking at
Nothing to do on the machine. What is left after this chapter is print tuning rather than machine tuning, and it has an accepted order: each of Ellis' sections assumes the ones above it are already done.
| # | Section | Status after this chapter |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Extruder Calibration | done — Ch 13 step 13.40, refined at step 14.7 |
| 2 | Build Surface Preparation & Handling | read it — smooth PEI + ASA needs no glue, but it needs to be clean |
| 3 | First Layer Squish | done — Ch 13 step 13.42, then step 14.21 |
| 4 | Pressure Advance / Linear Advance | done — steps 14.17, 14.18 |
| 5 | Extrusion Multiplier | done — steps 14.19, 14.20 |
| 6 | PA / EM Oddities | read when a result won't converge |
| 7 | Cooling and Layer Times | next — the ASA-specific one; minimum layer times matter more than fan % in a hot chamber |
| 8 | Retraction | next — CW2 is direct drive, expect a small value |
| 9 | Infill/Perimeter Overlap | later |
| 10 | Stepover | later |
Beyond that, his Advanced Tuning section covers Maximum Volumetric Flow Rate (worth doing — the Revo HF's whole point is flow) and Maximum Speeds and Accelerations, and his Troubleshooting index is the fastest way to name a defect you are looking at.
Good stopping point · ~15 min since the last one
mesh variance recorded, printer.cfg backed up off the Pi, and the tuning log filled in. Ready for Checkpoint 14; everything after this is Ellis, at your own pace.
