1.2 Improving Printing Quality
1 Nozzle, Bed temperature
Depending on the material (PLA, ABS etc.), optimum temperature for the nozzle and bed can be different.
Environmental factors (temperature, humidity) can affect the quality of the printed product.
There is no absolute value for optimum temperature. Testing various temperatures and finding the
optimum temperature are needed.
Temperature options can be changed in the 3DWOX Desktop slicer.
Material Appropriate nozzle temperature Appropriate bed temperature
PLA 190 °C ~ 210 °C 40 °C ~ 60 °C
ABS 210 °C ~ 240 °C Above 80 °C
FLEXIBLE 210 °C ~ 240 °C 50 °C ~ 60 °C
PVA 190 °C ~ 210 °C 50 °C ~ 60 °C
2 Support
For higher printing quality, minimize the use of supports.
However, shapes that are located in midair needs a support. If it’s the case, control the distance so it can
easily separate.
