Before you print

2 things 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 70-90°C for about 12-16 hours first, then keep it sealed.
70-90 °C~12-16 h
Print inside an enclosure
It cools too fast in open air and can warp or crack. A closed-in printer holds the heat around the print.

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 database this catalog is built on.
