I'm sure I've seen a thread somewhere that gives a rule of thumb, but I can't find it now.
Does anybody have a good general rule for selecting extruder temperatures when switching to new colours/filaments? Is there a good rule of thumb that I can use to identify when I've set the temperature right without actually starting a print? Obviously if it drips then it's too high, and I would hope that my "cold extrude" limit of 180C will prevent any accidents with temps below that but Is there an exact "ideal temperature" that I need to find for each filament or will I not notice the difference as long as I'm +/- 5C of it?
