Topic: What nozzle ID has worked the best for 2.85mm PLA?

I have some PLA I want to start working with, and I have a nozzle I can drill out to get the right diameter. What has worked well for you guys?

Ulitmaker 2, a few repraps, Custom Big FFF 3D printer with heated chamber.

Depends mostly on the amount of cooling, and the height of the loop.

I'd start with 2.5mm and work my way up.

start at +10-15% and work your way up. the higher the temp the high the speed the thinner the filament but also harder to spool right.
