Personally I would need some verifiable hard evidence before straying from manufacturer’s recommendations. I would put much merit on a random internet comment, what are the chances of him actually testing his claims effectively?
Printing too hot can absolutely cause degradation, even to layer adhesion. I would personally advise you stick to the manufacturer’s upper limit with very little or no part cooling fan if maximum layer adhesion is your main goal. Stringing and other issues might cause you to lower your printing temperature.
I remember watching a Hoffman Tactical video where he tested and found that optimum layer adhesion for PLA+ was around 210, lower than the 220 max temp. I can’t find the video.
Thank you. That was my gist as well, I think Hoffman test proves a simple fact "hotter not necessarily better" anybody stating otherwise needs to prove with tensile test print in Z direction.
