Calibration order

Run these in sequence for a solid baseline. Skipping steps causes cascading issues.

  1. Bed level / Z-offset — First layer must stick
  2. E-steps — Extruder outputs correct length
  3. Flow % — Slicer extrusion matches reality
  4. Temperature — Temp tower per material
  5. Retraction — Stringing test
  6. Speed / acceleration — Quality vs speed
