SUCCESS: I was cruising around the Lulzbot forum last week when I came across the following post: > [@Temperature Error](https://forum.lulzbot.com/t/temperature-error/58/1): > > We have been trying, unsuccessfully to get through a 6 hour print for the last week. Just when we get the feed issues and the adhesion issues sorted out we are beginning to get regular temperature errors that stop the print. We get low temp and high temp errors… Does anyone else have this issue? Has anyone else found a simple solution? I used the standard PLA print profile, set to 1.75mm filament, and 220degC extrusion temperature. I had tried this profile before, but this time I coated ~3 inches of the 1.75mm Colorfabb ‘Shining Silver’ filament in oliver oil. Then I hit print. To my surprise, 8 hours later I had a finished 80g print waiting for me on the build plate! I’ve done a few prints since and it seems to work fine every time.
