Temperature - MakerBot Replicator 2X User Manual

TEMPERATURE

Temperature settings for the extruders and the build plate are grouped together under
the Temperature tab.
EXTRUDERS
The extruders will need to be heated to approximately 230° C to melt and extrude
the plastic filament at normal operating speeds. Extrusion temperature is tied
very closely to both extrusion speed and the material being extruded. If you are
experimenting with either of those, you might need to experiment with extrusion
temperature, too.
BUILD PLATE
A heated build plate helps printed plastic objects to stick to the printing surface
without warping. If prints are not adhering to your build plate, and you have tried
cleaning and releveling, try raising the plate temperature a few degrees.
ABS adheres best at temperatures between 100° and 115° C. If you adjust the plate
temperature to 115° C and continue to have adhesion problems, the problem probably
lies elsewhere.
