    Just installed Orca Slicer and did the calibration run. Very interesting results.

    I flipped them over in their respective positions, i.e. -5 is still in the middle right.

    What I interpret from those pictures is that I need different values for the first layers and the layers above that. For the top layers, -5 and -10 look very good, for the first layer +10 and +15 are looking good.

    And yes, I know my printbed is kinda fucked, I already ordered a new one. Surprisingly, it didn’t impact performance that much. In the last weeks, I had no failing prints whatsoever with the standard settings. Sure they weren’t looking pristine, but usually that didn’t matter.

    Turns out there was some stuff under the print bed! Thanks for that info. Had to recalibrate after removing them, and that got me the first successful print again. Unfortunately couldn’t really look between the print head and bed, as it’s a really weird angle and there’s very little to see. Will try again when I have another spot for the printer to put.
