Topic: What bed temp do you guys use?

I'm looking for suggestions as to what bed temp to use.  I was running my bed at 100c  but I think that might have contributed to the burnout.  I'm about to try a print at 85 but that's as low as I think I could go with ABS.

large footprint I'll use 90, small 100, and I vary it in between depending on size.

I've done several 12 hour prints at 100c.

Filastruder - the robust, inexpensive filament extruder
E3Dv6 All Metal Hotend - the premier 3D printing hotend

Since the bed never really goes above a hundred without a towel on top of it, I just set it to 110 all of the time...  Quite a few 10+ hour prints that way also.

I set mine to 100, but usually get bored of waiting and start printing as soon at the readout says 85...


I've not measured what that actually is yet. but I believe it reads a little on the low side anyway.

I start mine at 105, which is 120 in the center and 110 on the edges, then drop it to 90.
