Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

What can I do to smooth out support areas?
When in doubt run some calibration prints, I made my own but this model is probably better https://github.com/5axes/Calibration-Shapes/wiki/Support-Test
-
The default extruder max speed is lower than the default retraction speed
The test case I used was the calibration cube in the in the [Calibration Shapes Plugin](https://github.com/5axes/Calibration-Shapes/wiki/Calibration-Cube-XYZ) printing the walls outside to in.
-
I don’t know where to start tweaking and dialing in. So I did a temp tower. Results blew. Help!
Also, you could try out a retraction tower: https://github.com/5axes/Calibration-Shapes

What are the best 'towers'
You should look into the Calibration Shapes plugin for Cura. It'll let you generate many different towers quickly and the GitHub for it has the post-processing scripts that make them work.

Weird "wrinkles" in 3d print
I generally recommend printing a temperature tower to find the correct temperature for your filament and the settings you currently use. Pick the segment with the best result in bridging and surface.
- The filament is cracking in my printer

Printing Issue
The first thing I would recommend is to level your bed again and the second thing is to print a temperature tower so that you can find the right temperature for the filament and your printing profile.
-
First layer/brim not staying down
CalibrationShapes has a bed level pattern I like to use. Keep printing and adjusting your corners until you have the perfect squish, and you will find your adhesion will be much better!
-
Sunlu PLA+
Personally, I always use this project for the temperature tower which also starts from the highest temperature and then drops lower and lower.

- Linear Advance (ender3 v2 neo)

Seems like I'm overextruding during curves? My parts don't fit together because the corners are too fat. [Cura/Monoprice MP10]
Linear Advance (Kcalibrator), if direct drive. Print slower 15-20mm/s, if bowden.
-
artifacts and inset on walls (details in comments)
Try Kcalibrator instead, the Marlin's tool is awfully bad. Find K factor for one printing line and one speed and one plastic (e.g. 0.4×0.2mm, 60mm/s, PLA), it depends on too many things. Then recalibrate the flow (again, each spool will be different). Update your slicing profile with these new values. Don't slow down the outer walls.
-
Linear advance calibration - "fast" segment progressively slows down as k factor increases
Try this Kcalibrator instead, for one particular set of parameters (one speed, one width, one filament).
-
Calibrating esteps. Which is more important: filament length or line width?
Linear Advance compensates accelerations/decelerations on corners, when printing head almost stops, but printer still extrudes the same amount of hot plastic. All to make even lines without bulges. It's a firmware algorithm that lets you print faster with the same quality. The best tool I found is Kcalibrator.
-
Is there a guide to figuring out line width? My lines are too thick (0.45 wide instead of 0.4), but if I decrease flow, it under-extrudes...
The official calibrating tool is meh, because it depends on the flatness of the bed surface. I always use this Kcalibrator, it takes something like 20-30 minutes per test, but the result is clearly visible (most of the time). LA is a must-have feature if you print faster than 15mm/s.
-
Every Linear Advance line looks bad. Increasing 0.01 per step with direct drive extruder.
Run this https://github.com/ArtificalSUN/Kcalibrator to check from 0.07 to 0.11 (add a bit more to the range like from 0.05-0.13), with 0.005 step, one wall.

Quick Linear Advance Question - Calibration test doesn't seem to match real prints
Try this one https://github.com/ArtificalSUN/Kcalibrator. Calibrate LA for each speed you use, then redo the flow.
-
linear advance pattern is always too closemto the bed.
Try this Kcalibrator instead, first layer is a brim and it doesn't affect the results.
-
I don't know what to do about this anymore...
I used this one: https://github.com/ArtificalSUN/Kcalibrator
