First I would like to thank you for disagreeing with me, and responding to this thread. Since early Greek times a forum has been about disagreement/discussions, and therefore any disagreement brings more discussion.
My thoughts are that once the plastic has reached a liqudus temperature that is the lowest viscosity it is going to get, until it turns gaseous. Heating it higher than normal extrusion temperature will cause more toxic gasses to be released, which over time will become a health problem. Plus the heat travel up the filament, causing the filament to strip on the hobbed bolt, that is unless you are using a Bowden system, which has it's own set of problems.
Since most of the people interested in 3D printing are in fact very young people, in 20 years there could be a very serious health problem occur from over temping the filament, with little to no increase in print speed. Is it worth it ? Not in my opinion. Then it is just an opinion, and this is a forum, and you are entitled to YOUR opinion !
Please explain to me how to...
