What is the room temperature where you print?

[old man emu]

The question of heat bed temperature for best printing results has been kicked around elsewhere on this site. However, no one has addressed the question of the effect of room temperature on print results. While many members are experiencing wintry blasts, I have been working away in 30 - 35C temperatures (85 - 95F).

I started printing with the heat bed at 110C, and now the word is that you can successfully print at 90C. But no-one ever says what the difference is between bed temperature and room temperature. That heat gradient has got to effect the cooling rate of the extrusion.

For me it's not the room temperature so much mate. In winter it was 12' and I was printing fine, for me it's the drafts!!

I can't have any draft blowing in at all near the printer. If it's a rafted print with supports, no worries - will print in any conditions. But a raftless print, whether the room is 30c or 12c, does not seem to matter for me, it's getting those wafts of air or gusts near the edges of your prints, causing them to cool too fast and then rise up from the heat of the hotbed.

68* Fahrenheit. You do the Math.

71* Fahrenheit, my wife does not like it too cold
