By the way, I've built "hotter" firmware on Daid's Marlin builder page (thanks for that link, Joergen). Can someone please give me a quick pointer or link to upgrading my Ulticontroller to support temperatures over 260 C?
no idea why the UC menu is limited to 260C... I would suggest to print via USB, and set a higher max temp if you want to play.
it is somewhere in the marlin code, maybe search for 260 in all files and see where it all appears, and then change it in the meaningful places

Yes--I looked at it after you posted too, Joergen. Thanks!
I might try a simpler, cheaper, and quicker path to printing these hotter materials. I have an extra PEEK. I will simply bore it out and build-up a good wall of Hi-Temp Lab-metal around the tube to protect the PEEK. I might turn a stainless or titanium tube on my lathe, but will probably just try the V2 brass tube first and hope it's not too hot at the cold end for the V2 Teflon connector. I just ordered a 24 oz. can of Hi-Temp Lab-metal, because i have other applications in mind for it, regardless.

I'll let everyone know what melts (hopefully filament) and what doesn't melt (hopefully PEEK and Teflon) once I find the time to get it up and running.
