    Question Key Printing Temperatures

    I was curious to the highest temperatures used with PLA and ABS filament? I have heard that 260 C is the highest I would ever want to go but I was curious if this was up for any kind of debate..

    Cheers!

    We print ABS and Nylon (Taulman 618) at 225C with a 60C build platform.

    I need to pull together our numbers for HIPS, Ninjaflex, PET, PLA, PlastInk Rubber, PVA and T-Glase.

    Nice. I think I might try 190C (PLA) on non-heated board with blue painters tape and see what happens.

    You certainly do not want to go anywhere close to 260C.

    Yeah, I have printed above 230 C. I may start printing at 190 C with blue painters tape for my PLA prints and see how they come out.
