Running a Temperature Tower in Orca Slicer
Running a Temperature Tower in Orca Slicer A temperature tower prints the same geometry at decreasing temperatures, letting you see visually which temp gives the best results for your specific filament. Why Run One Every filament brand has a slightly different ideal temp Finding the sweet spot improves: layer adhesion, surface finish, stringing, bridging Run once per new filament type/brand In Orca Slicer (Built-In) 1. Calibration → Temperature Tower 2. Set parameters: 3. Slice and print 4. Each section of the tower prints at a lower temperature What to Look For Evaluate each section on: Pick the temperature where most criteria score best. Often a compromise — stringing gets worse as temp increases, but adhesion gets better. Typical Results by Material Saving the Result Update the filament profile's nozzle temperature with your finding. Add a note with the brand, color, and date tested.
