Is messing with Settings a thing of the Past

It's all well and good that you're comfortable with the "point and shoot" mode in which you operate. As long as the filament you use matches those specifications, you'll be happy.

Once you decide to try a different composition or the manufacturer changes the formula, or even if you change to a different color, you can run into a situation where the print will be less than optimum. It is that point where knowing how to use the settings will allow you to continue to use your machine.

Good luck!

Well so far I have been printing for over 6 weeks on 2 machines and have used about 8 different PLA's of varying colours and suppliers and no issues yet.

I kind of think that those who were in this some years ago needed to know about settings but now you don't but they cant seem to accept that fact..... All about a shroud of detail and cleverness that is no longer there.

Sort of like Knowing how to wire a plug but now they come on the device and you just plug it in.
