ADVANCED SETTINGS

Temperature settings for the extruders and the build plate are grouped together under

the Temperature tab.

EXTRUDERS

The extruders will need to be heated to approximately 230° C to melt and extrude

the plastic filament at normal operating speeds. Extrusion temperature is tied

very closely to both extrusion speed and the material being extruded. If you are

experimenting with either of those, you might need to experiment with extrusion

temperature, too.

BUILD PLATE

A heated build plate helps printed plastic objects to stick to the printing surface

without warping. If prints are not adhering to your build plate, and you have tried

cleaning and releveling, try raising the plate temperature a few degrees.

ABS adheres best at temperatures between 100° and 115° C. If you adjust the plate

temperature to 115° C and continue to have adhesion problems, the problem probably

lies elsewhere.
