 Calibrating and tuning an FDM 3D printer is required to achieve high-quality prints. Here are the steps you you had to follow in the beginning to get decent prints, however a lot of these are automated now and a lot easier to achieve with standard features built in. Calibrating and tuning an FDM 3D printer is required to achieve high-quality prints.
