Extrusion Multiplier: Calibrate for each spool, sometimes within the same spool
Retraction: 3.2
Vertical Lift: 15
Retraction Speed: 3000
Coast at End: varies by nozzle size and calibration
Top/Bottom Layers: 1.2mm thick, however many layers you need for that
Outline: 1.2mm thick, same as above. More or less as desired for strength/quality vs speed/filament use
Choose start point closest to specific location: choose a good location for the seam
Skirt: enough to prime the nozzle, 3mm offset
Infill: varies by part, generally 130% width
External Infill Angle Offsets: 45, 90, -45, 180
Support: Never smaller than .2mm and at least 1.2x the nozzle width, I use multiple processes to fo this sometimes
Temp: Varies by brand/color, have to calibrate
Cooling: Not fair comparison, I have higher CFM fans. 5% at 1-2mm 60% at 5mm(ish)
Bridging fan speed: 100%
Speed: typically 1800-2600
Unsupported are threshold: 5
Extra inflation distance: 5
Bridging extrusion multiplier: 70
Bridging speed multiplier: 30
Filament diameter: measure frequently
Only retract when crossing open spaces
Minimum travel for retraction: 2mm
Avoid crossing outline for travel movements: 1.0
Pretty much everything else is default or changes too frequently based on too many factors. These settings are still something that I'm sure to change often and should just help you get a jumpstart on tuning your printer, brand, and color.
