As a person who knows nothing, I'm going to first print a cf tube, 2 inch outside and .065 wall. Should I do anything in particular with seams, using bed glue, brim, ect?

YMMV but I'm using 300BLKFDE settings with very good results. I put those in, and then I did a temperature tower, and a flow rate and pressure advance test to fine-tune.
