      		 Each material has a specific temperature that can change between brands. To find the best result, you should do a temperature tower and test which one works best.

       

      If the optimal temperature is higher than the recommended limit,  you may be experiencing underextrusion problems. Follow this guide to resolve this issue: How to fix underextrusion

      adjusting the temperature of the printing surface

      For your piece to properly adhere to the printing surface, the surface must be sufficiently hot. This parameter indicates the surface temperature.

      If you have any problem with adhesion or warping, raising the temperature of the bed a bit can help solve the problem. The following article contains other solutions for this issue. How to fix first layer issues

       

      First Layer Temperature

      adjusting the temperature of the first print layer

       

      The first layer of the piece is crucial in the printing process, that's why it is crucial to ensure that the filament adheres well to the surface.

      To coordinate this, the temperature of the extruder and printing surface can be raised when printing the first layer, this will make the material adhere better and prevent warping or the total loss of a print. 

       

      Tip: Adding 5 degrees to the normal printing temperature may be enough to improve adhesion.

       

      Standby Temperature

      adjusting the standby temperature of the printer

      When you print a model that needs two different materials, there is always one extruder that is in rest mode while the other is printing. During this resting process, the extruder lowers its temperature to its standby temperature. This happens to avoid burning the material in the hotend, thus causing a clog or wasting the material by dripping.

       

      Recommendations:

      Materials  
      PVA keep this parameter between 150ºC or less, to avoid a clog in the hotend for  extended time prints.
