            <description><![CDATA[ Hi,<br />
We need more details so that we can help.<br />
<br />
What do you mean by "the extrusion is not proper"? What actually happens? Photos would be useful. <br />
<br />
Why do think it doesn't heat up to the right temperature? Have you measured the nozzle temperature with (e.g.) a multimeter?<br />
<br />
Incidentally, 230C is way too hot for PLA... I print PLA at 190C.]]></description>
