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.

Agreed. I really hope Lemmy takes off in the space.

Check the documentation, but I’m 95% sure it’s just for looks. Aluminum that thin wouldn’t do much. It’s only a .22 as well, virtually no .22 cans need reinforcement. I know for a fact the FTN series .22 version does not need reinforcement for example.
