Automatic calibration only tunes a small part of a complete filament profile. In this video I build an Ambrosia ASA profile from scratch in OrcaSlicer. Covering filament drying, temperature, flow ratio, pressure advance, max volumetric flow, retraction, and material shrinkage.
Then I compare the finished profile against generic Prusa and Bambu profiles on the same Prusa CORE One to see what all that tuning actually changes!

These profiles are reference points, not magic drop-in settings. Machines, nozzles, and even different batches of filament can produce different results.
