3DCheat is a free reference site for FDM 3D printer settings. Pick your printer, pick your filament, and get recommended temperatures, speeds, and retraction values — without digging through Reddit threads or watching 20-minute YouTube videos.
Every 3D printing community has the same posts: "What settings should I use for PETG on my Ender 3?" followed by 47 different answers. The right settings depend on your specific printer — Bowden vs direct drive, enclosed vs open frame, max nozzle temperature. We compiled the consensus best-starting-points for each popular printer in one place.
Settings come from manufacturer recommendations, community testing on r/3Dprinting, r/BambuLab, r/prusa, and r/ender3, and personal experience. They represent good starting points — not perfect values for every brand and colour of filament. Always fine-tune with temperature towers and retraction tests.
All settings are presented in generic form (temperature, speed, distance) so they work in any slicer — Cura, PrusaSlicer, OrcaSlicer, Bambu Studio, Creality Print. Just map the values to the equivalent fields.
