Hi all,
Have had my printer for 9 months or so now I suppose.
Was going OK but now I can't print anything - have lost my printing mojo.
Some prints look good and then crumble apart (too cold?).
Some prints have failed half way thru leaving a sandpapery top layer (too hot?)
Have so many different batches of PLA that I don't know which is which anymore.
Dont' seem to get any really nice thick healthy looking extrusions anymore.
Am totally confused at what temp and speed i should be using.
How can I work out the correct temp to use for each batch of PLA I get?
Should I set a temp and them manually push through hot end until I get a good flow?
Any other ideas. There seems to be such a huge stated range for PLA 180-220???
Thanks,\\Roger.
