Hatchbox PLA Settings

Hello,

I recently ran out of the PLA that came with my MK2 which worked amazingly well. I bought some hatchbox pla of amazon and am having a few problems with it. Mostly it looks like it might be over extruding. I am using the same profile as for the prusa pla and an wondering if anyone on here has a tweaked slic3r profile for the hatchbox brand and would be willing to share what worked for them.

Thanks,
Nathan

Re: Hatchbox PLA Settings

Did you check filament diameter? If it is bigger than 1.75mm, you will get overextrusion very easily.

Re: Hatchbox PLA Settings

If the plastic is slightly harder, that can also cause over-extrusion.

Ideally each filament make and colour should be separately calibrated, although practically that is not the norm.

The diameter averages to 1.75, I tried to reduce the print temps from 210 down to 205 which helped a little, I may try to go even lower. I created a new profile so I will continue to tweak until it prints perfectly was just hoping someone would have some starting numbers since hatchbox seems to be fairly popular.

Re: Hatchbox PLA Settings

I use 195 for most of my Hatchbox filament. Bed temp is the same as for Prusa filament.

Re: Hatchbox PLA Settings

I typically use 200 and 55.

Love Hatchbox PLA 🙂

Thanks for the replies, did you have to change anything other than the temperature like the extrusion multiplier or any speeds?

Re: Hatchbox PLA Settings

I used to like Hatchbox PLA, but in my recent experience, their quality seems to be lacking the last few months + they have had major issues actually keeping it in stock on Amazon (were i get it) and i go through ALOT of filament (15+ rolls a month)

When i did use them though yea, I got the best results setting the temp a little lower than standard, (205ish)

RE: Hatchbox PLA Settings

I've been printing Hatchbox PLA a bit lately. Here are the settings that work for me on my MK3s:

  • Hotend: 200
  • Bed: 55
  • Extrusion multiplier: 1.03
  • Fan: off for first 2 layers
  • Print speed: 50% for first 2 layers
  • Brim: 5mm (not sure I need this, just being cautious)

 

Enjoy!
