Temperature Chart
Revision as of 00:41, 4 October 2011 by Davidlvann (talk | contribs)
A table for predicting the ideal temperature for a given hotend & nozzle, versus material & color. Use the "standard" thermistor placement from your hotend's instructions, and be as specific as possible in identifying your material, at the very least specify the provider if not a specific blend number. For instance, Ultimachine provides a datasheet for 4043D PLA, but does not specify if this applies to all their PLA, while ABS is available in a huge assortment of blends, often not identified by anything but the name of the source.
| Hotend | Ultimachine Clear PLA | Ultimachine Black PLA | Ultimachine Natural ABS | Ultimachine Red ABS | Village Plastics Natural ABS | Village Plastics Black ABS |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Makergear: 3 mm x 36 mm brass barrel, 0.5 mm "Bighead" brass nozzle | 185 C | 185 C | 210 C | 210 C | ||
| Makergear: 3 mm x 50 mm brass barrel, 0.4 mm "Bighead brass nozzle | 225 C | 200 C |
