Extruder temperature and cooling issues
- [Female narrator] When you buy a roll of filament, it'll usually have a suggested temperature range on it. This movie talks about how to decide where in that range you want to set your extruder and, if applicable, printer bit temperatures. Note that if you work on a printer with chipped filament cartridges, the temperature will be set for you and you probably won't be able to change it. If you can change the temperature, five degree centigrade increments are about the right amount to try. In the absence of other information, try starting at the center of the filament manufacturer's suggested temperature range. You may find that your particular printer usually works best at the high or low end of those ranges. If the temperature you're using is way too low, you'll get extrusion failures which can take the form of a clicking extruder or grinding filament. If it's a little too low, it'll probably extrude reasonably well,…
