Comment on Setting up a printer

The fact it won’t print below 220° makes me think it’s a problem with your hotend, and my best guess is that your nozzle is clogged. The higher temperature might be helping the extruder to squeeze a bit of filament around the clog, but not enough.
Changing the nozzle is quick and easy, and most printers come with a spare or two, so I would give that a shot before diving to deep into diagnostics.

They might just try a cold pull or two before changing the nozzle. (Depening on the printer. On my Ender 3 Nozzle swaps were a no brainer - 2 minutew, on my current SV08 they are 15 min of work and 45 min of soaking the old nozzle in Isopropanol to get the thermistor out without ripping the cables)

Wow I just looked it up and that is the worst design I’ve ever seen. That’s a ton of work just to replace one of the most commonly changed parts.
