medium📝 Analysis Q5 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Match temperatures to filament types
ABS typically requires nozzle temps around 230-250°C and bed temps around 60-100°C.Step 2: Compare with other filament temps
PLA uses lower temps (~190-220°C), PETG around 230-250°C but usually lower bed temps, TPU lower temps.Final Answer:
ABS -> Option AQuick Check:
250°C nozzle + 60°C bed = ABS profile [OK]
Quick Trick: High nozzle and bed temps usually mean ABS filament [OK]
Common Mistakes:
- Confusing PLA with ABS temps
- Assuming PETG needs high bed temp
