Help Shape the Next PerfectFit Update

[tayloraaron078-tech]

Hey everyone! 👋

I’m currently working on a pretty substantial update to the Filament Calibration Wizard to introduce real slicer integration.

🚀 The Goal

The main objective is to cut out the annoying back-and-forth between PerfectFit and your slicer. I want to completely remove—or at least drastically minimize; the repeated manual profile editing you have to do throughout the calibration workflow right now.

Because this involves some major architectural changes, it will likely be at least a week before I have a testable build ready. In the meantime, I’d love to get your feedback on how the Wizard feels as it exists today so I can bake your input into this next release.

🔍 What I'm Looking For

To keep things organized, I'm splitting feedback into two main buckets:

1. Immediate Fixes (Can likely be addressed in this upcoming slicer update):

Guidance: Any calibration steps or text that feel confusing, unclear, or flat-out wrong.

UX Speed: Ways to streamline or speed up the workflow for power users.

Onboarding: Places where beginners get stuck or where we need better tooltips/explanations.

2. Future Roadmap (Longer-term features):Feature Requests: New tools, specialized calibration tests, or future slicer integrations worth considering down the road.

📋 How to Drop Your Feedback

When you reply, please include a few quick details so I can reproduce or categorize the issue:

What you're working with: Which slicer you use and your general 3D printing experience level.

The Workflow: The exact stage of calibration you are referencing.

Visuals: Screenshots or specific data examples (these help immensely!).

Whether something feels broken, sluggish, confusing, or is just plain missing, I want to hear about it. Thanks for helping make PerfectFit better!

Great software! I am using Bambu Slicer, and I would love to see advanced calibrations included as well. In particular, the most difficult things I find to calibrate are:

• Cooling fan speeds, ESPECIALLY on engineering or higher-temperature filaments. A semi-automated guide through several iterations of overhang tests, cooling tests, etc would be amazing. Help tune profiles for minimum layer times, maximum and average fan speeds, and auxiliary fan speeds for printers that have that as an option.
• Bridging. Bridging flow modifiers, thick bridges, and other quality tweaks such as top surface and initial flow.
• Ironing - an ironing grid to test patterns, flow, and speed
• Supports - Top Z distance, number of interface layers, etc. Could be especially useful when combined with ironing for dissimilar support interface material calibration.

For the things that cannot be saved to a filament profile, the software could instead either save a set of references, or guide the user toward creating a process preset as well.

Hope that helps. Great work.

Those are all great additions. I will start looking at how they could be integrated once I get the current update in progress done and stable. It's going to be a big one. Thanks for the Feedback!
