@paoletto is that a "silky" filament?
Hi, no it's not silky, it's "metallic" looking PLA, like the one i had best results with (gold, and also white and to some extent black).
However it seems to behave quite differently (other colors also gave me issues, such as orange with which UM3 was consistently underextruding).
I tried to lower temp from 196 i used for gold to 188, but i still got the jamming. Recommended temp seems to be the same for all other PLAs of this kind (metallic or not): 170-210
I also feel like tower won't help because it seems jamming starts to happen after a while (like an hour into the print).
As if the cold end needs to warm up properly too.
So i suppose no way to change that cold end temp threshold?

Hi,
to your main question: afaik the print core cooling is controlled by firmware only. The fan runs 100% when one core is hotter than 60°C and is off at 59°C and below.
If this material is so heat conductive, it possibly can (must?) be printed at lower temp. Here possibly doing a temp tower for examining the coldest possible print temperature could be reasonable?
Regards
