Before you print

1 thing to know about this spool

Dry it before you print
It quietly soaks up moisture from the air, which leaves prints rough, weak and stringy. Dry it at 55°C first, then keep it sealed.

New here? Nozzle = printing temperature in your slicer, bed = build plate. Start at the big number.

Nozzle is the hot-end temperature: enter it as the printing temperature in your slicer. Start at the big number; the range is the safe window to tune within.
Bed is the heated build plate: your slicer calls it bed temperature. It helps prints stick.
OFD is the Open Filament Database, the community-maintained source this spec sheet comes from.
