KEN,
Do you use masking tape?
I manage at between 210 deg C and 215 deg for the head and between 50 deg & 60deg for the bed.
I eventually found that easily the best thing for removing the tape adhesive still stuck to the bed (after trying everything else really) was a quick rub with good old cheap SALIVA then scrape it off with the side of an ice cream stick etc - works a treat - If you can't find any of this cheap commodity in Aus, then I'll send you a bottle!
FUSION 360 - free for a year to get you hooked, then "WHAMMO!" - too bloody dear for a person of my means! - very good for those with a business I guess!
SW - Same thing, too expensive for a dabbler - but again it's very good, as we all know!
DESIGNSPARK MECHANICAL(DSM) I'm using this at the moment (probably an older free version of the more sophisticated "SpaceClaim") but fine for me.
FREECAD, free as it's name implies, this is 'open source' - seems fine, but I still have to check it out properly.
There are others as well!
…… all great fun for an old guy! If only all this had been around when I was just starting out!
