I think that's what we were thinking at one point, or something like it. We tend to run on the cool side of PLA's range, at something like 185 C or 190 C (after 220 C proved to be a little too warpy after the parts cooled), so that might also have something to do with it.

We have ABS, but haven't used it yet to my knowledge--IIRC, we were concerned about the smells/fumes we've heard it has.
