What Milkie said, the defaults work first time. My predecessor apparently had a knack for trying to re-invent the square wheel, which is why the printer was sat in a box abandoned. I just booted it up and used the defaults and everything comes out fine.
The more kit built or custom built printers obviously aren’t going to be quite so plug and play.
ABS can be a PITA to print with regardless of settings as it tends to want to warp though. So I just use PLA.
That wood stuff will never look like wood. It might be useful for making parts to repair something that is wood, but I suspect anything made out of it will just look like something 3D printed from wood coloured plastic.
Discover your filament doesn’t like the stock temps, or the bed needs levelled, or run into adhesion issues, or any number of other things. With any domestic printer, even an expensive one, trying to jump right into parts like this is optimistic.
It’s a bit like saying everyone should learn to MTB on a rigid singlespeed with flat pedals.
I don’t dispute there’s still plenty of stuff that can go wrong using the defaults, but equally I have more issue when trying to be clever than when I just stick to the defaults and leave every box ticked.
