My first trys have been doing the sides first to affect the geo-relevant angles the least than first the angles which need less heat. --> should add less distortion...
yeah i understand the idea behind this, for some reason i haven't found it to affect the angles that much tho. However if you get carried away and do some bits on the side too early, it really pulls hard. I have done this a few times and had to cold set a bit. easpecially early on, i.e st to bb junction can go very wrong if you get the sequence off
I find it really hard with to do most of it with the 1.6mm, feels very clunky. See how the smaller stuff feels, i find it helps a lot. However on the more acute bits the 1.6 is invaluable.

Thanks a lot for your answer!
regarding Filler: My first trys have been with the same filler. I'm having a hard time utilizing 1.6mm since it`s so thick (Hard to handle for me in the already tight-spaces) Prob. just takes practice... I've ordered 1.2mm. rod to see if I can handle it better. (Shouldn't be a too much noticeable diff. tho...)

That's what I've been doing. However I doubt that method because pretty much everyone seems to do the central plane first...
