Temp tower, no discernible difference

I just printed a temp tower, 180 - 225. There seems to be no difference between the sections. Generic PLA that is printing well. Is it possible this is the case? (Gcode edits are correct because Mk3s screen displays changing temp.) How severe can be the change from 180 to 225?

Mk3S - 2X

I'm not surprised. I found that with most quality filament today I don't see any serious differences across the temp spectrum anymore. I'm not running temp towers anymore unless I actually have an issue with the filament.

From 180 to 225 I wouldn't expect much of a difference, Prusa's default profile for PLA prints at 215 and most will print as low as 180.

For the record I disagree with both these comments, and find temp towers to be very handy tools for gauging a new filaments properties.

 

To each their own.

 

Enjoy
