I switched from ABS to PLA out of curiosity, and am wondering about the temperature I need to run the PLA at. I am seeing, through research, that PLA should be between 180 to 210 C. So do I need to subtract about 30 C from those numbers? If ABS is best at 230 C and on my printer I set to 200, should I not do about the same with the PLA?

I was doing some testing . RH host reported 105C but 2 digital thermometers reported only 90C.

From what I understand, you get better adhesion at the higher temperature. Am I going to have to replace my extruder to get higher temps?
