well tricky issue..
If you don't increase the temp you won't get good results as the temp
will not be high enough to melt the toner... whatever the motor speed is...
The only good solution is to increase the temp.
But if you increase the temp you will probably melt the rollers supports.
So you will have to mill new ones... that's why I provided the
solidworks + Gcode files :-)
If your "walls" are the same as mines I could probably mill the walls
for you... I already did it 3 times ;-)
