The "best" temperature for 3D printing depends on three main things:

1.The filament material you're using  

2.Your specific printer (hotend capability, enclosure, cooling fan setup)  

3The balance you want between strength, print quality, and speed

Here are the recommended temperature ranges for the most common FDM/FFF filaments (nozzle temperature first, then bed temperature):

Quick “Best Starting Points” for most printers

a.PLA: 205°C nozzle / 60°C bed  

b.PETG: 240°C nozzle / 80°C bed  

c.ABS/ASA: 250°C nozzle / 100–110°C bed (enclosed)  

d.TPU: 220–230°C nozzle / 50°C bed (or no bed heat)

Pro Tips

a.Always print a temperature tower first (download from Thingiverse or generate in your slicer) to find the sweet spot for your specific roll of filament and printer.

b.Brands vary ±10–20°C even within the same material (e.g., Inland PLA vs Prusament PLA).

c.Higher nozzle temp = stronger parts but more stringing and oozing.Lower nozzle temp = cleaner prints but weaker layer adhesion and risk of under-extrusion.

d.Bed temperature mainly affects first-layer adhesion and warping—once the first few layers stick, you can often lower it.
