Wondering, when you guys are doing 3D printing, what do you prioritize more? Print quality or speed? Like, if you want fine details, the print time also gets longer. So, do you have to sacrifice quality for saving time? What's your approach, fellas?
Which is more important in 3D printing: quality or speed?

In a nutshell, it's kind of like with a PC: if you want detail, you go upmarket (like an RTX GPU vs. a GTX), but it costs time and resources. On the other hand, if you just want something quick (like a Ryzen 5 vs. an i7 for simple tasks), you lose precision. So yeah, you often have to choose between the two.
Well, you know, I think it really depends on the project, bro. Like, when printing a slim figure, quality is a must, but for example, when it's a simple house model, speed becomes more important. To save time, you might need to compromise a bit on quality, but it shouldn't be noticeable to the eye.
Found the sweet spot with the bed leveling, so I can push finer details now. Still, any tips from you? Before printing, do you usually run a test print or tweak the slicer settings for optimization?
