Best default orca profiles

Which profiles I should use when I start out. The ones that come out of the box in orca, the Sovol google drive (they are 2.5 years old) or is there a place where community has improved them. I tried the out of the box orca slicer sv08 profile and it is printing directly to the plate, just enough gap to not scratch it. The premade gcode benchy that comes with the printer prints fine. I have done every leveling process and I just believe this orca profile puts the nozzle too close. I tried to add a little bit more z-offset but I should not need to put layers worth more so I'm starting to think this maybe a start g-code issue. I will anyway try the google drive profiles but in the meanwhile wanted to ask what is the best starting point for someone new to the printer.

Enclosures comparison

Hello. I'm new here. Has anyone done comparison of the sovol official enclosure and the nadirs PC enclosure? Just ordered SV08 without enclosure because was thinking that I will decide later which enclosure to choose. Garage is a bit dusty and with a lift door so there will be some drag as well. Any thoughts or experiences? I guess the polycarbonate one would be easier to modify later than metallic.
