Bed Temperature: 60°C (adjust slightly if needed).
Precision: Print small parts (candy canes and marshmallows) at a lower speed for better detail.

Post-Processing:
Light sanding can smooth surfaces.
Consider painting candy canes if single-color printing is used.
Multi-Color Printing:

For candy canes: Use dual extrusion or a filament swap at specific layers.
