I've been fighting with (those pesky) Bridging issues for quite some time and decided (yesterday) to resolve those issues. I have several projects pending where Bridging will be necessary. I could use support, and will when absolutely necessary, but I'd rather let the printer do the work whenever possible.
By adjusting the Bridging Extruder and Speed Multipliers, and playing with the Extruder temp, I was able to get the results shown above. Granted, the distance bridged is only 30MM, but it gives me hope that I can massage the parameters further when the distance requires it.

Does anyone know of a website, blog or forum post that might assist in demystifying Bridging on 3D Printers?

Well, so what were your good settings?

I did a bunch of searching and reading some time ago, and the suggestions were all over the place. Bridge fast; no, bridge slow. For myself, I've found that bridging slowly (20mm/s or so) and at 90% extrusion works well enough for longish spans, with a lot of fan.

lol yeah this was definitely that one forum post -- "nevermind I fixed it"

Here are the settings I used for test print #6
