Temperatures

Nozzle Temperature (First Layer)

Parameter: first_layer_temperature
Unit: Degrees Celsius (°C)
Description: The nozzle temperature used for the first layer. Often set higher than other layers for better bed adhesion.

Parameter: temperature
Unit: Degrees Celsius (°C)
Description: The nozzle temperature used for all layers after the first. This is your primary printing temperature.

Parameter: first_layer_bed_temperature
Unit: Degrees Celsius (°C)
Description: The bed temperature for the first layer. May be set higher for better initial adhesion.

Material	Nozzle (°C)	Bed (°C)	Notes
PLA	190-220	45-60	Lower temps for better detail
PLA+	200-230	50-65	Slightly higher than standard PLA
PETG	220-250	70-85	Higher bed temp prevents lifting
ABS	230-260	90-110	Requires enclosure
ASA	230-260	90-110	UV resistant alternative to ABS
TPU (95A)	220-250	40-60	Slower speeds needed
Nylon	240-280	70-100	Dry thoroughly before use
PC	260-300	100-120	Requires all-metal hotend
PVA	180-210	45-60	Water soluble support

Parameter: chamber_temperature
Unit: Degrees Celsius (°C)
Default: 0 (disabled)
Description: Target chamber temperature for enclosed printers. Essential for ABS, ASA, and other warp-prone materials.

Tip: Optimal temperature varies by brand and even color. Calibrate for each new filament spool to achieve best results.
