One thought on “Extrusion!

  1. Not too much at all! I routinely use this temperature. In fact, an ABS extrusion datasheet I found online suggested it as the “extrusion” temperature, as opposed to 220, which was listed as the “melting temperature”. They probably differentiate the two based on the relative viscosity.

    In my case, the Makerbot actually damaged itself when I tried to extrude at 220. It’d extrude a horrid wicker-like print that was really brittle and poor quality, and eventually the insulator retainer shattered. After a replacement (Thanks Mark!) I started printing at 230-240 instead and haven’t had a problem since. Quality, strong prints and a reliable Makerbot. :)
