1. Confirm the symptom

Look at the first failed area, the material, and the slicer profile before changing settings.

2. Fix the simple causes first

Check filament dryness, nozzle temperature, bed setup, belts, and the profile baseline.

3. Test one change at a time

Use a small calibration print so you can see which change actually improves the result.
