G-Code Snippets: Use the below start and end G-code to ensure optimal performance. Start G-Code: G28 ; Home G92 E0 ; Reset extruder G1 Z2.0 F3000 ; Move Z Axis up G1 X10.1 Y20 Z0.28 F5000.0 ; Move to start position G1 X10.1 Y200.0 Z0.28 F1500.0 E15 ; Draw the first line G1 X10.4 Y200.0 Z0.28 F5000.0 ; Move to side a little G1 X10.4 Y20 Z0.28 F1500.0 E30 ; Draw the second line G92 E0 ; Reset extruder G1 Z2.0 F3000 ; Move Z Axis up End G-Code: G91 ; Relative positioning G1 E-2 F2700 ; Retract a bit G1 E-2 Z0.2 F2400 ; Retract and raise Z G1 X5 Y5 F3000 ; Wipe out G1 Z10 ; Raise Z more G90 ; Absolute positioning G1 X0 Y0 ; Present print M106 S0 ; Turn-off fan M104 S0 ; Turn-off hotend M140 S0 ; Turn-off bed M84 X Y E ; Disable all steppers but Z Ender 3 Neo Cura Material specific Settings PLA Settings: Print Temperature: 190-205 °C Print Bed Temperature: 60 °C Print Speed: 50 mm/s Retraction: 5 mm at 60 mm/s Cooling: 100% ABS Settings: Print Temperature: 230-240 °C Print Bed Temperature: 90 °C Print Speed: 50 mm/s Retraction: 4.5-5.5 mm at 50-60 mm/s Cooling: 0% (use an enclosure) TPU Settings: Print Temperature: 205-215 °C Print Bed Temperature: 65 °C Print Speed: 40-50 mm/s Retraction: 5-6 mm at 60-70 mm/s Cooling: 50-100% PETG Settings: Print Temperature: 230-250 °C Print Bed Temperature: 65 °C Print Speed: 40-50 mm/s Retraction: 5-6 mm at 30-45 mm/s Cooling: 50-100% Detailed Settings and Calibrations Print Temperature: Match the range provided for each filament. Use a temperature tower to calibrate for optimal results.

Print Bed Temperature: Adjust the bed temperature to find the optimal adhesion without causing issues like an elephant's foot.

Print Speed: Faster speeds are possible with lighter print heads. Adjust speeds conservatively to avoid vibrations that can cause surface defects.

Layer Height: Decorative objects: 0.1 mm Standard: 0.2 mm Rough, fast prints: 0.3 mm With a 0.4 mm nozzle, keep layer height between 25-50% of the nozzle diameter. Flow Rate: Start at default 100% and adjust for over-extrusion (90-99%) or under-extrusion (101-110%).

Retraction: Calibrate retraction to prevent issues like stringing. Use retraction towers tailored to the filament type.

Infill Density: Decorative objects: 0-15% Standard objects: 15-50% High strength: 50-100% First Layer: Height: 100-200% of normal layer height Print speed: 50% of the normal speed or 5-10 mm/s for better adhesion For more Creality 3D Printer with Other Slicer, you can click the related articles as follows:
