What Temperature Should You Set Your 3D Printer Heater To?

When using a Yidu 3D you need to set the heater to the correct temperature. This will enable you to print the best prints with your printer. But how do you determine which temperature to use? Let’s find out!

The Right Temperature Matters

(Heater Temperature: Adjusting the heater) The heater temperature is very critical for good 3D printing. Too low a temperature and the material will not melt well and your prints will be weak and easily break. A high temperature causes the material to either burn or come out so quickly that it ruins your print. This is why you need to determine the optimal temperature for your printer and the material you are using.

How to Find the Ideal 3D Printing Temperature

Here are some of the ideal temperature for 3D printing based on the material that you use.

ABS material is good in between the temperature of 210-250 degrees Celsius. The best temperature for this will always be in the instructions given by the maker of your material.

How to Get the Temperature Just Right

For the best temperature for your 3D printer, start out at lower temperatures and then increase gradually until the one that works best for you is selected. You can also do a temperature tower test print to help guide you toward the right temperature for your material. Place your printer in a location with good air circulation to prevent overheating and maintain an even temperature.

Modifying heater setting based on different materials

For best prints, ceramic finned strip heater different materials need different heater settings. Oh, for example, now you're using PLA and you switch to ABS material, you will need to change the heater temperature. Monitor the temperature and adjust as needed in order to obtain quality prints from each type of material.

What Happens When Temperature Settings 

Temperature issues are one of the biggest culprits of bad looking 3D prints. A high temperature range might make your prints stick together well but also end up with separation issues. If the temperature is too low, your prints may suffer maladies like stringing or warping. You can avoid these issues and create kick-ass prints every time by locating the perfect temp for your printer and material.
