    ...well the bed has nothing to do with the extruder max temp. If you're interested in bed material, I use a sheet of PEI and its amazing. PLA comes right off after printing. ABS, Nylon, PC I use glue stick (PVP) and its worked great.

    It is absolutely the firmware. Its capped at that temperature... Is it true our x-carriages are made of PLA?

    The x-carriages are made from ABS. I upgraded to the aluminum carriage so I can print PC and nylon. Some people just leave the plastic carriage and print at higher temperatures; it seems to do fine, but the belief is that they warp with the additional heat.

    Did you mill your own aluminum carriage? Mine still looks great, and I've printed tons...spools...of Nylon at like 265C. With some thermal paste between the heat sinks and the aluminum block I think my set-up is dissipating a good amount of heat.
