I’ve run across a couple of posts where people are having trouble with different things. Upon digging into it a little bit, I have found that they are using the wrong temperatures for the materials that they are trying to print with.
My post today is pretty simple, use the temperatures for the filament that you are using. If you are using PLA, use temperatures in the PLA temperature range. If you are using ABS, use temperatures in the ABS temperature range. Most manufacturers provide their recommended temperatures on the side of each roll of filament.
The optimal temperature will vary some and will depend upon your setup and your ambient environment, but you can’t run PLA at 260 degrees and expect a successful print.
