I&#039;ve been printing black ABS at 232c recently. So 235 for white seems like it may be a little much. However, it does not look like temp is entirely to blame. How old is the filament? Have you tried baking any potential moisture out?</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>definitely looking better, might still be a little bit too hot, but it also looks like you may have a moisture issue happening as well...</p><p>in your first 20mm cube pic, it looks like little popped bubbles in several places - that indicates moisture in the filament. </p><p>not really sure what to say about the 0.2 layer height cube... the single wall piece looks good, but the cube - not so much.<br />a bit of backlash perhaps? are the belts tensioned evenly? no slop? i dunno...</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Thanks heartless, I have adjusted the trimpot and the prints are better now. Does also still seem to be a touch too hot, got a few strings.</p><p>I&#039;m running 0.4mm nozzle. Should I just set it to 0.48 across the board, including the couple set to 0 (such as the 2 infills).</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>judging by the moire in those prints, you definitely need to adjust the trimpot on that stepper driver. </p><p>and maybe try changing the temp just a little? I have found that the light colors like it just a little cooler than darker colors... </p><p>also, what size nozzle are you running on that E3d? if it is the stock nozzle (0.4), default extrusion width should be 0.48, not 0.42</p>]]></description>
