Bridging
So may I ask about bridging on the i3v.
This seems a bit of a minefield. I have read sites that say, the temp should be hotter than normal, that is should be cooler than usual. I have read sites that say you should set for a fast speed, others say set a low speed.
I have been playing around to get this working on a very simple 50mm x 10mm bridge. All I have done so far is play around with the temps - started at 225 and reduced gradually down to 180 but they all came out very similar.
My next play would be adjusting the speed. I am using 150mm/s which is the default setting from Colin's config.
So any recommendations to speed me up?
The machine is 8" i3V, my hotend is E3D-V6 and I am printing 1.75 PLA. Bed is heated to 70.
Too many variables.
Thanks!

I have success with a faster bridge speed and using a cooling fan.

A cooling fan will make the biggest difference in bridging.
