If you're looking for the highest temperature's possible, try turning the bed heater on
for an hour before you print.
Perfect Enclosure Printing with PLA
Since PLA is perfectly happy at room temperature, the only reason to enclose it is for
improved indoor air quality. PLA typically prints with a bed temperature of 60C, so it's
going to heat the enclosure less than ABS right o
ff
the bat.
Always make sure to print
with an enclosure fan and monitor the internal temperature
, which ideally should
be in the 30-35C range or lower if you can get it.
If you'd like to lower the temperature further you can always buy a more powerful fan,
but the easiest thing to do is just crack the front door a little to increase airflow. But
won't that let out all of the volatile organic compounds coming o
ff
the hot end? The
key is the negative pressure combined with the fact that the particles are extremely
small and light.
As you can see, the fan keeps the air flowing in and the harmful particles flowing into
the vent or filter.
