PLA is the easiest filament to print. Start with the recommended 215°C nozzle temperature and adjust by ±5°C based on under/over-extrusion.
Keep fan speed at 100% for best layer adhesion and bridging performance.
Bed adhesion is excellent with a clean PEI sheet — no glue stick needed.
Lower print speed (40–50 mm/s) for detailed parts; increase to 80+ mm/s for drafts.
