Printing tips at a glance
- Nozzle temperature: 210–240 °C – start in the middle of the range on a new spool and fine-tune with a temperature tower.
- Bed temperature: 25–60 °C.
- An enclosure is optional but helps against warping on large parts.
- Drying: 70 °C, 8 h. Wet filament shows up as crackling, stringing and rough surfaces.
