| Filament Nozzle Requirement | 220-250°C |
| Printer Max Nozzle | 300°C |
| Filament Bed Requirement | 85-100°C |
| Printer Max Bed | N/A |
What to do instead
- Your printer's bed maxes out at 0°C, but PP needs at least 85°C for reliable adhesion.
- Try a compatible filament for your Markforged Mark Two — PLA, PETG, and ABS are good options.
- If you need PP specifically, you'll need a printer with a hotend capable of 220°C+ nozzle.
