RE: Matt filament print settings

I haven't used that brand but I have used a couple of other matte pla's (Filaprint and Spectrum).  My normal print temp is 230c  for them (but Im using a NozzleX so everything is 5 degrees higher anyway).  

RE: Matt filament print settings

Okay, Thanks I will try printing at 230c and see if that makes a difference. Would you recommend the NozzleX for matte pla? Have you seen it make a difference?

Thanks

Joe

RE: Matt filament print settings

I bought a nozzle x for my printer about 6 months after building it.  Considering its a MK3 (non S, non S+) I've had it over 3 years.  Its my normal nozzle.  I use it for everything. 

As its coated steel it means all my filament profiles are set 5 degrees hotter than if I was using brass.  Thats about the only thing you have to do running one.  They just dont wear out anywhere near as quickly as brass and if I feel like printing an abrasive filament it means I dont have to change anything.  As I only use my customised profiles now anyway this isn't a hardship.  I very rarely use stock profiles except when I'm trying to troubleshoot issues for other people.

If you are using a normal brass nozzle I would try with 225 degrees first, although like any new filament printing a temperature tower is always a good idea to get the acceptable range dialled in.  If you aren't familiar with a Temperature Tower a quick google search will enlighten you 🙂
