Pointers on using Atomic Filament PLA

I was thinking about getting a few Prusament rolls in BF, but they don't really have anything going on with the Filament itself. I've read many places that Atomic Filament is very good quality and readily available on the states.

Any pointers on people using Atomic PLA on their experience and what slicer settings are best (i.e. starting from Prusament PLA, from Generic PLA, and what adjustments)?

Best Answer by cwbullet:

Start with Generic.  Prusament is likely too hot.

Funny, I started with Prusament and moved to Hatchbox/Generic cause I noticed a visible amount of stringing. The generic is not perfect, but certainly better.

Too much heat will cause stringing.

It was a while ago I posted this. By now, through temp tower and a large number of prints I can say the best settings I've yielded are 1st layer at 215C and the other layers at 210C.

I just ran across this. I am seeing stringing at 210 and decided to go to 200 and it reduced it quite a bit.
