It's a short one :) but hopefully is helpful in tuning the myriad of filaments / brands you've got laying around.

Cheers.
I loved my Rostock so much I now sell them in Oz :)

Thank you again for the awesome video.

I had watched another one on youtube, where the GCode is modified a bit to decrease the temperature in steps. And in the end you end up with a shape that you can observe the temperature differences on a single object.

Along these same lines, there is a plugin for Cura that varies the print temperature based on the actual print speed (because Cura slows it down sometimes).

Using this video to find the max and min temperatures to vary between would lead to really great results.

Thanks for the info on this plugin. I did not know it even existed.
