Calibration guides can be overwhelming. This is the short order that works for most printers.
- Level the bed with the paper test, then print a single layer square in each corner.
- Set the Z offset until the first layer is slightly squished, not transparent.
- Tune temperature with a temperature tower for each new filament.
- Tune retraction only if you see stringing.
That is it. Everything else is fine tuning that you can do later, one change at a time.
