@shyra 200 C, painfully dialed in lol
it will pop if the steam gets trapped when extruded, but this hotend is absolute garbage, it has a big melting chamber and is open towards the top, so it would make sense for the steam to escape upwards instead
It's popping a bit as well though, when I'm not feeding a ton of plastic into it
@ChlorideCull oh yikes
Yeah, just wanted to check that you weren’t running it near the boiling point of the PLA
Sounds like that printer is… “fun” 😆
@shyra it was state of the art back in 2013!
@shyra I've replaced the electronics to get modern features, such as ✨thermal runaway protection✨
@ChlorideCull wet PLA will pop when it’s extruded. That’s not a sound I’ve heard a printer make before.
What temperature are you printing that PLA at?
