The electronics are GEN6 with a fairly recent Marlin firmware.

I got my e3d mounted and printing PLA the other day but it get it to print I need to keep the temp at 240-260C to prevent clogs. It prints fine at that temp but it gives my print a very glossy finish. Is anyone else experiencing anything like this?

The temps are right, I double checked with my thermo couple. The difference between the two is 1.8c.
Here is order of events that led me to cranking up the temp.
1. heat up hotend to 190c
2. Once hotend reaches ~190 I can extrude without problems for a few minutes.
3. After a period of time the filament starts to jam. Barrel is cool to the touch due to fan.
4. Finally the hot end jams.
At first I thought the problem was cooling so I tried all sorts of different fan setups, none of it changed anything and now I am pretty sure it was never a source of the problems. Out of exasperation I started to bring the temps up way beyond where I would normally print. When I hit ~ 240-260 it started to flow again. I tried printing @ 260 and I didn't have a problem. Now I can print @ 260 but printing that hot with PLA gives me an undesirable finish and the feeling that something isn't working correctly.?

@polygonhell Where exactly am I measuring? From the threads of the nozzle to where the orifice starts? Could my problem really just be the nozzle?

Your hotend is heating by itself as soon as I put power to the board! I can just connect USB and connect with the host, all is well. But as soon as I plug in 12V power it quickly [gloriously quickly, but scary in the "current" situation] heats up, host with heater off and on, no change. I plugged it into the heated bed port and exactly the same thing. Heats up by itself and I assume it will never stop, but that's not something I'm going to try. I set the host to 20C and it still heats [went to 160C on that attempt] is that something that firmware update will fix? I doubt it, but I'm so flabbergasted at it that I wouldn't be surprised that the answer was different color Sharpie marking the plug..
