FlashForge PLA print temperature and settings
The settings FlashForge publishes for its PLA: 210 °C at the nozzle and 60 °C on the bed. Start in the middle of the range, then adjust for your printer, speed and cooling.
FlashForge's recommended nozzle range is about 5°C cooler than the typical PLA across the 54 PLA lines we track (median 210–220°C).
