			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>@Serin thanks for your reply, no not stupidly cold.(Amsterdam, The Netherlands)&nbsp; +10 degrees, but rainy hole day..&nbsp; enough weather info? <img src="https://www.soliforum.com/img/smilies/wink.png" width="15" height="15" alt="wink" /><br />@Adrian, I think the temperature is quite ok. If I put the temp. lower than 240 my nozzle gets stuck. So lower is no option.<br />I want to make sure that my layers combine correctly. The max. print temp for my UM1 255ºC. Could it be helpful to print at with a higher temp than 255ºC, what do you think?</p>]]></content>

Solidoodle temps are 25-30°C cooler than other printers because they are measured at the nozzle, hence why SD&#039;s use 195-210-ish.. 215 mebbe... - so that temp is actually about fine. 245 maybe... but ultimakers are quite quick, so 250 is probably good to.</p><p>Anyway - might just need a full enclosure due to humidity/ambient where he is...</p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>@Knowack, yes I did. But no result. <br />@IanJohnsos, I tried it both. Both settings face the same problem. The thing is, if I put the fan off the object is more sensitive for deformation. If I put the fan on the structure of the surface looks better but what you say, the layers are less combined. So for the best strength it might be better to turn off the fan.</p>]]></content>
