75 degrees = 68 degrees. No wonder I couldn’t get things to adhere well sometimes.
As a side note, the temp varies wildly along the plate base. An enclosure would definitely help here.
Has anyone else tested the actual temps versus the set/displayed temps and noticed a difference?
I can’t imagine a seven degree swing is really going to throw off adhesion.
I have often printed PETG at 60c and PLA at 50c though I usually run PETG at 70c. I’m sure whatever he’s printing probably calls for 75c. Either way, those temps are usually a suggestion, and should be fudged either way to get things like you want them. …though when I print ASA, I’ve been known to crank bed temps to the full 110c. (Don’t go that high if you’re using magnetic beds. You’re in for a bad time if you do.)
If it’s just below the glass transition temperature, it could.
