Re: Hotend smoking on First Rostock max v2 print

Okay, I tried heating it up in steps of about 10-20 °C every 5-10 minutes until I got up to 228°C, which seemed to have solved the smoke issue. I could still see some smoke, but it was nowhere near as much smoke as before. I Poked the PEEK (with a screwdriver) to see if it has gone soft, but it's s ...
