Standard profile stuff for PLA plus the following tweaks. The only exceptions are when I start getting part curling in the (usually front) corner, then brim width gets pushed to 10 usually.
I've found that starting very slow is the best way of getting good adhesion. If I have problems on the first layer I'll abort and try again.
Standard routine involves pre-heating the extruder and extruding 5mm to verify priming before sending the job to print.
Cura printer settings have been dramatically changed to increase the available print space.
I've removed the priming line routine from the OctoPrint startup GCODE. (I find that the ending pull-off creates a pseudo retraction of at least 8mm's worth of filament from the channel. This then results in a slow start for the first layer.)
Quality
Initial Layer Height = 0.3 mm
Infill
Infill Pattern = Cubic
I love this pattern. It seems to run faster than the default, allowing me to increase the infill speed.
