My school has a few 3d printers (p1s and x1c (quipped with extra cooling and a hardened nozzle and drive gear)) We use the default elagoo pla but we also have petg and paht cf. I was wondering what settings and other stuff would give the best result (quality). Here is the file and the gcode (wondering if my current settings are fine). Thank you

looked into it out of curiousity:
-
dont rename filetypes, (this is good advice in general) you have your gcode marked as a .3mf file. gcode is the result of slicing, not a [3]d-[M]anufacturing-[F]ormat 3MF or [S]tandard [T]riangle [L]anguage/[ST]ereo[L]ithography STL for editing.
-
there are tiny little changes to like every bit of the default profile. Wierd stuff like 3% less infill gap. I would like to reassure you that you can indeed trust the default profiles as a sane baseline for these printers. You are either a chaos priest incarnate, or really really in tune with this specific model and your specific printer. Most of these probably wont result in problems printing, only experimentally in quality, but…
-
the orientation of some of those parts have >=45degree overhangs and you have the wall order as outer/inner. You’re likely to have overhang issues. Change that back to inner/outer (IMO) for those objects specifically or leave it to inner/outer for all of them.
-
You could run those large flat objects a lot faster, but like, in a school setting you’re probably coming back to the plate the next day, it’ll be a moot point
So yeah thats the only change I would 100% make. good luck!
