How do I fix chamber temperature too high (pla/petg softening)?

1
Open the front door or top cover when printing PLA or PETG. These materials soften inside a sealed enclosure (PLA ~55°C, PETG ~75°C).
2
Lower the bed temperature by 5–10°C to reduce chamber heat buildup.
3
After printing high-temp materials: wait 10–15 minutes with the door open before loading low-temp material.

Pro tip: If you need to print in a hot chamber, select "High Temp (60°C+)" above to see materials that won't soften.
