I found bridging to be particularly challenging for these devices, and I have a 7" desk fan next to the printer I turn on after the first layer finishes. Besides preventing the bed from ever getting over 62C and possibly reducing layer adhesion I haven’t seen any negative effects. I have also fought some slicer’s bridging gcode generation - I love Simplify3D, but I think Cura generates better bridges when the Advanced Bridging options are enabled. Also, check out this for other things I went through to optimize the prints: > [@Snapmaker 2.0 Initial Calibration Settings / Experiences](https://forum.snapmaker.com/t/snapmaker-2-0-initial-calibration-settings-experiences/9928): > > Hello all, I thought I’d type up my setup and calibration procedures for future reference since I haven’t seen too much of this information in a single place before. Hopefully this is useful. There are other introductory posts worth reading such as: @xchrisd’s [3d Print Guide\_Walk Through](https://forum.snapmaker.com/t/3d-print-guide-walk-through/5945) The first thing I did was update to the latest firmware, change the auto bed levelling to 5x5 grid, and do an auto level. I’m impressed with this process, it works pretty smoothly. Looking ahead, I’ve fou… My new blowers showed up today, this weekend I’m planning on increasing the part cooling, the built in part cooling fan is comically underpowered. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.snapmaker.com/t/struggeling-with-pla-nozzle-temperature-off/9122)._
