I'm printing PLA+ at 200C nozzle, 60C bed temp. It's been fine so far with a few failures I've filed under "User Error".
OK, now I'm curious how I change the bed temp settings after the first layer -- something in the slicer? I'm using Ultimaker Cura, and have just recently been digging into the advanced settings.
Yeah you can change the settings in cura. I believe it’s under the materials section after you injure the setting
Its called initial layer bed temperature. You can tune different settings for initial layers (temps, speed, fan speed etc). You deffo need 0 fan on first layer as well.
Alternatively you can use Change At Z script or just manually change temp on your printer lcd
