You shouldn't need much, if any more, than 220 for PLA. Were you successful updating the firmware?

No i wasnt haha i made a new topic for my firmware issue

The thermistor that came with your E3D is more accurate and also is placed in a more reliable location. This means you are looking at a 20-30c difference. Where you used to print ABS at around 200-210c, you will now print at 230-240c. If you attempt to load filament below 230c, especially at stock temp settings for ABS, it will give the same result you are facing because the filament has not melted and the extruder will keep attempted to load.

The plastic wont go in for some reason. I checked the plastic tubing and it was clean. I honestly have no idea why it wont go in. http://www.videosprout.com/video?id=742 … 7bfa2c2d2d

Set the bed temperature to 0. This will tell Slic3r to only wait for the hotend to reach temperature, and ignore the bed temperature. The bed will stay heated throughout the print if you turn on the heater before you begin printing.

The stock bed doesn't heat up quickly, so I prefer to turn it on 10 minutes before my first print and keep it heated during my printing session.

You have a temp setting in your slice profile or host that is different than the others.  It is pausing as it tries to increase the temp.  If it is a bed temp it may take a long time or not even be capable of reaching that temp.  You can scan the g-code and see this but it is easier to just remove those commands from the start codes both in your slice profile and Repetier start code.

how do I remove the commands?

I also noticed that every time the extruder stops, the software automatically changes my extruder and bed temperatures and increases them on its own.http://soliforum.com/i/?7uz8bm3.jpg

What board do you have? If unsure, post a picture if you can.

Sounds to me like hanging, but the more info you can give, the better.

How do I update the firmware? And i'll try a different usb right now.
