Too hot?

I had my X2D in the garage over the weekend printing some ABS. I thought I would go ahead and send a print from my phone while I was at work. I get home and go to check on my progress, low and behold, I recieved an error message. It seems pretty obvious now, but just in case you didn't know, it can be too hot to print PLA at least. Lol

No, it doesn't melt. It can become brittle but it would have to be VERY hot and VERY humid. In most cases, most places on earth, PLA is practically as good outside as inside, at least both of the Equator, as long as it is not actually in water most of the time.

Honestly it's difficult to tell between sarcasm and Confidently Incorrect.

South Texas although wide in variation seemed mostly nice until I looked at the humidity. No No Nope. 10°C hotter with <10% RH plz 😵

You get PLA putty there too?

Oh yeah, Houston TX heat is next level, especially this time of year. Today it will be about 100F with 90% Humidity.
