Nozzle temperature, initial layer
The nozzle temperature for the first layer. A little hotter helps it grip; in PLA Basic it's the same as the rest, 220 °C.
How it works
The first layer is the one that sticks to the plate. With the plastic a bit hotter, it squashes and wets the surface better.
From the second layer on, “Nozzle temperature” takes over.
When to change it
- The first layer won't grip and you've already cleaned the plate: raise it 5 °C.
- The first layer comes out with smeared edges or the nozzle drags plastic: lower it 5 °C.
Typical values
| Value | What for |
|---|---|
| 220 °C | PLA Basicdefault |
| 225 °C | For more grip |
Watch out for
- Outside the recommended range (190–240 °C in PLA Basic), the program warns that the nozzle may clog.
- The first layer depends more on a clean plate, its temperature and the initial layer height than on this.
