Basic PLA Settings (Rough Guide)

Temperatures

• Nozzle: 195–210°C
  (Start at 200°C—go up if layers don’t stick, down if stringy.)
• Bed: 50–60°C
  (Start at 60°C for best adhesion.)

Speeds

• Print Speed: 45–60 mm/s
• First Layer Speed: 20–30 mm/s
• Travel Speed: 100–150 mm/s

Cooling

• Fan: 100% after the first few layers
• First 2–3 layers: 0–30% to help bed adhesion

Layer Settings

• Layer Height:
  • 0.2mm (good balance for most prints)
  • 0.16mm or 0.12mm if you want more detail
• Initial Layer Height: 0.2–0.28mm for easier adhesion

Retraction

• Bowden: 4–6 mm @ 45 mm/s
• Direct Drive: 0.8–1.5 mm @ 25–35 mm/s

If you get stringing → increase retraction or lower nozzle temp.

Adhesion

• Bed Surface: Clean with IPA
• Adhesion Type:
  • Brim for small parts
  • Skirt for most prints
• Z-offset: Make sure the first layer squishes slightly, not scraping.

Filament Tips

• Keep PLA dry (store in airtight bag or dry box)
• If filament pops or crackles → it’s wet
• Sunlight can make PLA brittle—store in shade
