Talking about work during a business dinner does not equal hours. Thinking about work ideas after hours does not equal hours. Fostering a business connection does not equal work hours.
And if they do, then I get to count stressing in the shower, arguments in my head while I go for a walk, ranting to my partner about work problems, and keeping in touch with former coworkers.
If you haven’t yet, I recommend following some calibration guides for your filament brand / style / nozzle. I’ve been using https://github.com/SoftFever/OrcaSlicer/wiki/Calibration in conjunction with the Orca Slicer software, though I know that’s a derivative of Bambu software and may not directly translate to your Ender. But something along those lines should help to at least make sure you’re working from a proper baseline.
