So for the filament I'm using, the optimal settings are 195°C for the hot end and 65°C for the bed. I have sliced all my files in Cura at these temps and I've gone into the printer itself and set the 'preheat PLA' settings accordingly as well. But whenever I go to actually print an object, it initially resets the temperature to 175°C for the hot end. It's not too much of an issue because I watch it like a hawk on startup and manually set the nozzle temp to 195 and everything prints fine and dandy. But goddamn is it annoying having to reset the temps every time. I'd like to just hit the print button and walk away.

How so? I set the temp in Cura under the temperature tab. Is there another place in Cura to set temps that I missed?
sterile river
That’s the spot. That’s how your printer knows what temp to set.
lavish valley
But I said I already set that to the proper temp
sterile river
On the print you are slicing?
lavish valley
Yes, I set everything to the correct temps in Cura as far as I know. See?
sterile river
Yes. Reslice the file with those settings and try again
lavish valley
But I've always sliced my files that way. I've never not had the correct temps sliced, that's what I'm saying.
sterile river
That’s not how the printer works
lavish valley
?
sterile river
The printer reads the file that has the temp set on the slice. It doesn’t just pick a temp to print
lavish valley
Well that's why I'm confused. I've said half a dozen times, I've always sliced my files in Cura this way as shown in the picture, but it defaults to 175 if I don't manually adjust it afterwards.
sterile river
Can you send the gcode
lavish valley
I guess, but aren't gcodes not openable in Cura?
sterile river
They are. And notepad
lavish valley
Huh. Today I learned. Anyways, this should be one of the good ones.
sterile river
Is that one that is changing temps
M104 S175 ; Start heating up the nozzle most of the way
your temp is set to 174
175
try printing this file
I just changed that line to 195
lavish valley
Sweet. I'll let you know how it goes. Got something else on the printer atm.
lavish valley
Worked! Thanks!
