I am a super fresh noob testing the waters of 3d printing. I have a wanhao duplicator i3 plus. I have my Cura print settings set exactly how I want them for this print but when i save it to the sd card, and transfer the sd card to the printer, none of the settings transfer over at all but the file does and it will start printing at all of the wrong settings. What am i doing wrong?
