Even mores if you don't know the specific type of PLA you're processing.

But in general:
150C is too cool
Too thin is fixed by drilling out the nozzle or adding more cooling
Brittle means that it isn't properly dried - that's the effects of moisture in the polymer

Trying to get a bead on the settings for recycling PLA. I can’t seem to get it to where it needs to be. Trying to extrude at around 150c and nothing comes out, and when I raise the temp to around 165c it’s too thin, and very brittle.
Any suggestions please?
