If you're not getting satisfactory results with the printers, you may want to calibrate your slicer settings for a given filament.

# (Optional) Check wall thickness of a cube. This checks if the filament is over or underextruding, possibly because the filament diameter is off spec. You will need calipers, and calipers tend to disappear in PS1 - ([Teaching Tech](https://youtu.be/3yIebnVjADM?t=193))

# A temperature test helps figure out the best temperature for printing a given filament. Even common filaments may have additives that change the print temperature. ([Teaching Tech](https://youtu.be/3yIebnVjADM?t=266)

# Retraction test - Retraction helps prevent drips and oozing while the print head moves between extrusions. ([Teaching Tech](https://youtu.be/3yIebnVjADM?t=491))
