chadm - I print PLA at 215c, different printers work better at different temperatures, but those temperatures are in the range.

vinnie90 - usually ABS prints better at 230C. Interesting that yours "only prints at those temps".


I like to print PLA at 220C. Like @Chadm said every printer does different. I actually put a laser temperature reader and my makerbots were off. I would see if you could get your hands on one just to see what it is actually heating and can fix your setting from there.

and no about the Acetone and PLA. It does not smooth it out, it sometimes turns the plastic white.

bendbrad - Acetone will knock the gloss off, but won't smooth out the lines

the_robo_forge - Thanks Chadm and Vinnie90 good to know.
