250C is not low temp for 3D printing tho, noticed that in headline.

sure that is low temp for glass aber above the PLA, ABS, ASA temps i run in vorons.

Glass (some not all) melts at more than 1000 C I think that's hell of a lot harder to print at than 250 C even Prusa PETG prints at that temp.

They stated 250C was for annealing to final product. That's a temperature any bog standard toaster oven or kitchen oven can do. Sadly, they said nothing I saw about actual extrusion temps.

Whut? Basically every 3D printer does print way above that (300°+X is the industrial norm for more advanced new printers now e.g. Centauri Carbon, Artillery M1 Pro, BL, etc.). 250° is absolutely nothing out of the ordinary these days and can be achieved by basically every 3D printer a major brand brought out in the last two years. Even the A1mini can do so.

Polymaker's ASA is recommended to be printed at 250° and Formfuturas ASA, BL ABS, Formfutura ABS(reTitan), Fiberology, For Polymakers ABS the lowest temp recommended starts at 245°C, goes up to 265.

Most Nylons, PCTG start above 250°C as well. And let's not even start about proper high Temperature materials like PEEK,ULTEM,PEI.

Don't get me wrong,but maybe your temp sensor is off(not unheard off in Vorons) or your settings are off. I have yet to see someone get ASA printed well with settings well below the recommendations.

i was talking about hobby and entry level printing. nevermind. you folks are a lot of fun..

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Centauri Carbon: Around 300 bucks Bambu Lab A1 mini: Around 200 bucks

How much more entry level can you get? That's below most Voron builds, btw.

You came in here with a claim that was simply not valid. The most likely explanation is that your printer is misconfigured. But you keep on generalising your subjective experience towards everyone else,even though you have been disproven.
