Topic: Adjusting Minimum Extruder Temp

Hi all, is there a way to change the minimum extruder temp from 170 to 165 in the firmware?

I know it's a fail safe to prevent cold extrusion but I know the filament I have is already molten by 145-150. Any higher than 175 and it bubbles.

Thanks.

yes, I figured that much, but I dont know much about coding.

I looked around the configure.h tab and found "#define EXTRUDE_MINTEMP 170"

Is this all that i have to change or do i have to change other things in other places?
