Do people actually tune their printer for each new roll of filament? - eviltoast

I see a lot of people claim they tune/calibrate their printer any time they use a new spool of filament. But does anyone actually do this? It feels like a waste of time when filament is so consistent, even between brands. I can understand doing it for specialty rolls, but for basic pla? Seems unnecessary

    Nah, but I will print a temperature tower if it’s a new filament - even if it’s very similar to a filament I’ve had before. (As long as it’s not an identical replacement. If it’s an identical replacement and the previous isn’t ancient, I won’t even do that.)
