Production Tips
- First layer calibration: Run Prusa’s built-in V2Calibration gcode for automatic first-layer optimization
- Sheet management: Alternate between two PEI sheets — one cooling while the other prints
- OctoPrint integration: Remote monitoring and print queuing for batch production
- Filament sensor: Enable the filament runout sensor for unattended printing
Individual results depend on your printer, environment and application.
