Temperature settings
The PTFE Barrel insulates the extruder nozzle
- PTFE is a thermoplastic polymer, its melting point is 327 °C, but its properties degrade above 260 °C
The default "3mm" thermistor settings are as follows:
- Temperature of Raft: 230.0
- Temperature of Shape First Layer Outline: 215.0
- Temperature of Shape First Layer Within: 215.0
- Temperature of Shape Next Layers: 220.0
Troubleshooting
- Replacing the heater barrel
- Uncloging the extruder
