How to Print a Temperature Tower for PLA Using Orca Slicer

A temperature tower helps identify the best nozzle temperature for a filament by printing sections at different temperatures.

1. Install Orca Slicer from the official SoftFever GitHub releases.
2. Select your printer and create or choose a PLA filament profile.
3. Use Orca Slicer calibration tools to generate a temperature tower.
4. Slice, print, then compare sections for stringing, layer quality, and surface finish.
5. Use the best-looking section as your starting nozzle temperature.
