CuraLE 3.2.32 / 1.1.9.28 FW / Linear Advance

From the release notes for CuraLE 3.2.32:

The K-factor Calibration Pattern has a lot of parameters to tweak some of which are easy and some of which are hard (i.e. I don’t know what the answers should be). I believe it would be extremely valuable if we could get some expert guidance (or even some “worked for me” examples) for each of the LulzBot printers. The comments at the beginning of the generated G-code would make a good template. For example, here’s what I got when adjusting the “easy” parameters for the TAZ 6 (with PLA):

What I need help on is the “Settings Speeds” section and “Settings Advance” section.

Moderator: Feel free to move this post out of “Development Software” and into “Software” if you think that’s a better place for it.

I’d like to second that request. It would be nice to actually use Linear Advance, and without the K calibration pattern, you can’t.
