Print profile starting point
- Nozzle temp: start at 233°C and tune ±5°C for surface finish.
- Bed temp: 25°C is usually enough for adhesion; go up toward 60°C if first layer struggles.
- Drying: 55°C for 6 hours is a listed starting point; follow the current manufacturer guidance for your spool and dryer.
- Print speed: keep below 30 mm/s for clean walls; bowden setups will prefer the slower end.
