Topic: Colour codes and temperature?

I just wanted to check before I set about doing this: has anyone worked their way through all the PLA colour codes on the Junior NFC tags to see what temperature they default to? I've got a colour list of some of the colours but only a couple have temperatures.

Re: Colour codes and temperature?

You are focusing to much on the colors than the tepmerature. There are only three temperatures associated with the XYZ filament. (191, 210, 210) Personally I print all of my third party filament at 210. Sounds like you are heading down a long path for no reason, but please post any results you may come up with.

Re: Colour codes and temperature?

Yes, I think my printer is ignoring the temps and doing everything at 200C, but without knowing way the Reno should be on each filament I can't compare, so there are two aims to this:

Find what the temps should be for each colour, as if it's ignoring them that's a pain in the ass.

Try and find colours I can set my NFC tags to that might actually set the printer to the right temperature, assuming it's not ignoring them.
