Time spent dialing in the temp w/ towers etc is well worth it. Its surprising how different the actual ideal temp may be from what the mfr suggests.
You can change nozzle sizes too. A 0.2m nozzle will give insane detail, but you have to go very slow to avoid clogs and prints take waaaay longer. My primary home printer has a 0.6mm nozzle, which is great for big parts bc they print a lot faster, are more robust to imperfections, and are actually stronger.
Oh something else that helps with consistency is a $2 silicone cover for the heater block. It acts like an insulator for everything but the tip, making the temps more consistent
