    A Good Starting Temperature is 200C.

    Note the extruder Stepper will not move until the temperature is 170C or above. Safety feature.
    Filament will not extrude until the temperature reaches the melting point of the filament; though you should hear clicking from the stepper mechanism.

    On one of my 3D Printers the extruder stepper was turning in the reverse direction, had to reverse the wiring for stepper to turn the correct direction.
