Systematic approach for determining print settings

Hi,

I am currently looking for feedback and real-world testing of an online tool we're developing which adaptively generates test .gcodes
The main idea is to have a systematic, repeatable way of determining machine & material specific settings without spending time on fiddling around. You could start out with a material with no known settings (just have a basic idea of the approximate range of extrusion temperature) and from then on, you can narrow down the main settings. By the end of the test you get pre-configured config file for Prusaslicer, Cura and Simplify3D. Of course, you always have the choice of manually transfering the settings to a slicer of your choice.

Determining the settings works by visually inspecting the printed sample and clicking the corresponding region of the sample in the tool.

We're currently in open beta, so everyone who wants to have a go with it, please do so! I'd be happy to hear your thoughts, how the testing went and if something is confusing etc. The ideal outcome would be if you can get to print a material which was a pain before.

The generated tests are fairly quick to print, and each test focuses on 1 or 2 of the parameters. (Added a photo of one of the tests). In total there are 12 tests, you can choose freely which ones you want to do and for which you already know the perfect setting.
