Low temperature
material preheat
temperature minus
25C.
Temperature can vary
depending on material
type and grade. Special
exception to ABS where
the removal
temperature is the
same as the preheat
temperature.
Low temperature
material extrusion
temperature minus
~10C.
Temperature can vary
depending on material
type and grade.
Low temperature
maximum extrusion
temperature specified
in manufacturer's
MSDS document.
Cross reference materials
extrusion temperatures when
purging dissimilar materials. If
the minimum extrusion
temperature for the high
temperature material is higher
than the maximum extrusion
temperature of the low
temperature material then you
will risk burning the low
temperature material and
clogging your extruder. If there is
no overlap in material processing
temperatures, you may require
an intermediary purge material.
