230 - 240 °C
●
Bed temperature:
90 - 110 °C (a larger object requires a higher temperature)
●
Heatbed:
Make sure the surface is clean, as described in

12.16 Creating profiles for new materials
Each manufacturer delivers a slightly different material, e.g. Prusament PLA and ColorFabb
PLA have slightly different printing properties, even though they are both PLA. For some
manufacturers, it may even happen that different colors of the same material behave
differently.
For best results, you should
experiment with nozzle and heatbed temperature
settings,
fan speed, print speed, and material flow
. All of this can be adjusted while printing in the
Tune menu on the LCD panel.
The same applies to materials for which we do not have a print profile.
Take the
recommended settings from the manufacturer, find the nearest material profile in
PrusaSlicer, edit it and save it as new.
Proceed with test prints and adjust the settings
one after another in the Tune menu.
Once you’re happy with the print quality, save the
settings directly to your PrusaSlicer profile.
Be sure to reset the values in the Tune menu before the next print!
If you are happy with the new settings, consider sharing it on the forum or directly
with us at [email protected].
