Hi Brad, Great work, it helps to calibrate the printer a lot!

But what I struggle with is that for many detailed models where precision is essential you need to set several parameters to meet your quality requirements. So it would be great to have a model that could test temperature, flow and speed with different combinations of these. It could be a 3d model script where the temperature changes in the Z direction, speed changes in the Y direction and flow changes in the X direction.

Let me know if you think it is possible. Cheers!

It's a great suggestion, but it would be difficult to implement and probably impossible for me (just not smart enough). To do this right would probably require direct support from the slicer rather than trying to implement it in a plugin.

This plugin is geared toward fine-tuning a single parameter at a time.

I'll keep it in mind, though. Maybe one day...

Thanks for the idea!
