| Filament Nozzle Requirement | 180-210°C |
| Printer Max Nozzle | 280°C |
| Filament Bed Requirement | 40-60°C |
| Printer Max Bed | N/A |
What to do instead
- Your printer's bed maxes out at 0°C, but Wood PLA needs at least 40°C for reliable adhesion.
- Try a compatible filament for your Markforged Onyx Pro — PLA, PETG, and ABS are good options.
- If you need Wood PLA specifically, you'll need a printer with a hotend capable of 180°C+ nozzle.
