Skeinforge "temperature" setting for PLA

Hi all,

The Skeinforge manual defines defaults for most parameters.
As so it does for the temperature parameters, but it states only the ABS defaults.

Does anyone have practical PLA values for those parameters?

Orca V4.4 rebuild to Ramps with Mk8 and E3D, as well as a Rostock Delta Mini and an OLO in backorder :-)

Between 170 and 220 °C... depends on the PLA you have.

You can try pushing it "by hand" into the heated hotend, it should extrude with not so much force applied. Start low, if it doesn't flow out easily then step up the temp a bit and retry.

Most of my technical comments should be correct, but is THIS one ?
Anyway, as a rule of thumb, always double check what people write.
