Hello there,
The Ngen filament from colorfabb is recommended to be printed at min 220°c. When I started heating my head, I already had some strings down the nozzle around 160°c.
My question is? Could it be that my temp readings are inexact? If so, of what, 20°, or even 60°
inexact???
That would probably explain why I have so unexpected results with that printer. But no clogging though.
If so, How do I asses the real temp? I tried temp guns but the surface is too small to get an acurate reading. Also, I have no idea of the brand of my temperature reading so I cannot just go in Marlin and fix it.
I’m sure there is a good tri!ck to solve this?
Anyway, I got a Ngen printed marvin at 180°c. Not so pretty though.
Thanks!

No really surprising, the glass temp is around 85°c so it’s not hard to beleive it starts to melt at 160°c… probably not enough to have a good extrusion

Hey @ImShogun! Perhaps the terrific @ColorFabb team can help you out with this one?
Ok,then, I really thought I had some kind of misreading in marlin 
Yes most likely your temperature read out isn’t correct. You could of course find your temperature setting simply by trial and error. If temperature is too low, you’ll find layeradhesion isn’t optimal and you might find some signs of under extrusion. If temperature is too high you’ll see bad performance on overhanging surfaces and small fine positive features.
best,

Have you try different with high temp.? this is a small model, you could print it very well. And also you could paste some glue at the hot bed.
