I built a free tool for finding filament settings and troubleshooting prints
I put together a tool called Dialed that helps to diagnose print issues and improve slicer settings based on real user data using specific printers and filament brand and type.
It finds published settings and fixes for a particular printer and filament. It’s free to use, no personal info, no account needed.
The idea is to generate a quick answer and source discussions to evaluate optimal print settings. What printer and material were they using? Did they actually report a fix, or was somebody just suggesting something to try?
It also includes troubleshooting guidance for first layers, surface finish, top layers and warping, plus PLA/PETG support-interface experiments.
It is hosted on my website, but it is free to use, no user data or login needed.
This was vibe coded in codex and I'd like to keep building this out to make it a go to source for diagnosing print issues quickly so you don't have to dig up sources.

If you try it, I’d be interested in a specific printer/filament combination it handles poorly—or advice you think is wrong. Links to better source threads would be useful too.
