In the control menu I can set the hotend temperature up to 260º. I'd like to be able to dial it up a bit hotter, say 265.
Looking through configuration.h I can't see where the limit is set. There's a HEATER_0_MAXTEMP setting, but it's set to 275. Searching for 260 in the source doesn't yield anything, so I'm just wondering where this limit is coming from

Per the code it seems like the menu only allows you to set the temperature to HEATER_0_MAXTEMP minus 15 degrees:
So you're on the right track - upping HEATER_0_MAXTEMP will get you what you want, just with a 15 degree offset.
MENU_MULTIPLIER_ITEM_EDIT_CALLBACK(int3, MSG_NOZZLE, &thermalManager.target_temperature[0], 0, HEATER_0_MAXTEMP - 15, watch_temp_callback_E0);
So you're on the right track - upping HEATER_0_MAXTEMP will get you what you want, just with a 15 degree offset.

Which would be better, changing the HEATER_0_MAXTEMP or the 15º offset? I'm leaning towards the latter, though I have no idea how the 275º maximum temperature is arrived at, or for that matter what the maximum temperature my heater element can deal with is (it's the OEM one that came with my Wanhao i3+).
