ColorFab first try
Hi all,
First I will say that I read here all the time and it's a great community.
I own a FlashForge pro for a mounth now and I having great printings so far. I use Simplify 3D and it's great!
I bough a colorfab filament and I have some issues with the prints, it's seem to be oozing in the corners of the cube, I tried the same file with the
filament that came with the printer and you can see the different.
my settings
0.2 mm
50/ms
temp 195
10% infill
someone have an idea why it's happens?

temps too low. The filament is pulling when it turns corners, rather than laying down flat.
Needs to be softer - so print at a higher temperature
Try printing at 210.
bear in mind that different filament makes can - and usually do - print at different optimal temperatures. Also different colours from the same manufacturer can print at different temperatures too.
I've got pla that prints best at 195 and some that prints best at 215 or even 220.
get yourself a quick and complicated test print and whenever you get new filament try it out at different temps till you get the right one.
Attached is the print I use to dial stuff in: holecube.stl
Uses a couple of grams of filament takes about 5 minutes and tests just about every aspect of your filament and printer :-)
My current best ever holecube is with ingeo blue printed at 215.
