* The printer moves so fast, you may have to bump up nozzle temperature to get strong layer adhesion. I found printing PETG at 250C would look nice but with very weak layer adhesion, at 275C got strong adhesion

* If printing organic models and the quality is less than you want, easiest way to increase quality is to slow down print speed (can do it on the printer's touchscreen -> settings [looks like 3 sliders] -> icon that looks like a car speedometer). The real way but also easy is to lower the max volumetric speed in the slicer, it is set to 32 mm^3/s, people print at 15 or 20 mm^3/s (Creality slicer 5.0 -> Material panel on right side -> at top of it there is the material name, click on the down arrow, a temperature input should come up, click the pencil icon beside the bed temperature -> toggle advanced to on then type in "volume")(this slicer is such hot garbage lol but meh)

** The real real way is to adjust all the settings. Try searching reddit for new Orca slicer settings. The thing is those profiles may just be <2x as fast as the prusa mini's, not 3.5x
