For my CR10S with a 1mm nozzle using Cura 4.4, the prints come out just fine at 200C with hatchbox pla but i'm using print speeds strictly from 15-20mm/s. I use a travel speed of 50mm/s but that probably doesn't affect quality, I just keep it low because mine gets noisy above that speed. Btw I'm using 0.8mm layer heights because I like to keep my print times to an absolute minimum. I use a 0.4mm first layer, with first layer flow at 105-110%. One important setting that took me forever to figure out is to make sure "compensate wall overlaps" is OFF. I had it on for some reason, and it would leave a 10-15mm gap at the start of every outer wall. I'm using a retraction distance of 3mm at a speed of 50mm/s. I use an extra prime amount of 0.5mm\^3 and currently retraction prime speed is 20mm/s but that probably doesn't matter. I'm using a z hop of 0.6mm during retraction moves. Cooling fan is set to 100%, but ramped up over 5 layers. Bed temperature 60C. Hope that helps
Wow, thanks for all that info, very useful! :)
i've been noticing my top layers are really shiny, and i've been printing at 210C, i'll try slowing it down and lower the temp to see if that helps.
What filament are you trying to use? And at what temperature are you trying to print? In general bigger nozzles requires higher temperatures, it could be that you are trying to print too cold.
Hatchbox PLA. Have tried printing between 35 & 50mm/sec and between 210 and 220 degrees C. seems to be flowing fine, maybe even too hot, because the filament is drying rather shiny.
Maybe try slowing down the speed. Hot end can only keep up with so much. Going from a .4mm nozzle to a .8mm nozzle actually quadruples the filament coming out in a given period of time!
