The right temperature and speed settings differ per material — and per printer. The table below shows the settings we use as a starting point for our own filament, straight from the technical datasheets. Always fine-tune with a temperature tower on your own machine.
Recommended starting settings
| Material | Nozzle | Heated bed | Print speed |
|---|---|---|---|
| PLA | 210–230 °C | optional | 40–80 mm/s |
| PLA PRO1 | 200–220 °C (faster printing: 220–230 °C) | 0–60 °C | up to 300 mm/s |
| ABS Fusion+ | 240–260 °C | recommended | 40–80 mm/s |
| TPU 85A / 95A | 220–250 °C | optional | 20–40 mm/s |
Reading the table
Nozzle temperature is a range, not a single number: the lower end gives the best surface detail, the higher end gives better layer adhesion and allows faster printing. PLA PRO1 is explicitly engineered for speed — at 220–230 °C it prints reliably at speeds where regular PLA starts to under-extrude.
Print speed matters most for TPU: flexible filament buckles when pushed too fast. Stay in the 20–40 mm/s range, and use a direct-drive extruder if you have one.
ABS benefits from an enclosed printer: a stable, warm build chamber prevents warping and layer splitting on larger parts.
When settings don't seem to work
If you're seeing stringing, popping sounds or rough surfaces at settings that worked before, the filament has likely absorbed moisture — see our guide on filament storage. And if you're unsure which material fits your part in the first place, start with our material comparison.
