- Flow or pressure advance wrong
- Profile copied from different printer/material
- Support interface too aggressive
- Temperature/retraction not matched to filament
Do this in order
- Start with a clean profile for the correct printer.

- Save successful profiles in Profile Vault.
- Use support previews before printing complex models.
- Tune one setting at a time and write down the result.

FAQ
Fast answers
What should I check first?
In Orca Slicer, use a calibration order: temperature, flow, pressure advance, retraction, then speed/quality. Randomly changing all settings at once makes diagnosis harder.
Should I change many slicer settings at once?
No. Make one controlled change, test again, and save the working result in Profile Vault. Random setting changes make print failures harder to diagnose.
When should I use AI Doctor?
Use AI Doctor when the symptom is unclear, when the print failed in multiple ways, or when you want to connect a failed-print photo to the right guide path.
