    I'm printing a model with white PLA filament. But it seems a bit mushy neither with other color. I have set my extruder temp at 180c (suggested temp at 190c - 220c) and still mushy and leave 'hair' after retraction. Should I set more lower extruder temp?
    I'm using E-Sun filament.

    Sounds like it is hot, but with the default firmware I forget where the "too low" flag is set (prevents a cold extrude).
    You might not be able to go a lot colder.

    I tried lower the temp until 165c and it can't extrude because there is a like a 'cutoff' under 170c.

    That is the MINTEMP limit I was referring to.
