All rolls of filament have a "sweet spot" temperature for printing, which can vary based on the material, your extruder setup, and even the brand. The easiest way to find the ideal printing temperature is to run a single test print that gradually changes temperature over time, then review the results to see which section has the best layer adhesion, overhangs, bridging, etc. To do this, we need to insert the desired temperature changes into the sliced G-code file before sending it to the printer. While it's not particularly difficult to edit the G-code manually, it's quicker and less error-prone to use a script.
Generally, when I get a new roll of filament the routine is to:
1. check the recommended temperature range as given on the filament
2. create/edit a temperature tower with that range
3. slice the model
4. run the gcode file through the python script
5. print
6. review the print then mark the optimal temp on the side of the spool
