Cura 2.6 - bogus M104 S200 after first layer prints, despite specified temperatures.

[brzasshopper 1]

When I slice something with cura 2.6, I seem to always get this code generated, approximately at the end of the first layer.

The specific issue is the M104 S200. The problem is that there is always an M104 S200 inserted here. This is not such a problem with PLA - as 200C is in the range of temperatures that will print, but when I try to print PETG or ABS, 200C is not hot enough to do a good job. I posted this in the CURA 2.6 thread but didn't get any answers, nothing to try etc. There I posted settings that never mentioned any temperature as cool as 200C but this was still there. I was printing PLA and I was trying to use 210C because I was pushing printing speeds - and it still dropped to 200. I will also add the entire settings group at the end of the post. I am willing to try and debug this.

Am I the only person who experiences this problem? This is on Windows 10, I have previously installed Cura 2.4 and Cura 2.5 on this system, I did not install any add-ons other than the ones that came with the install of Cura 2.6. If it matters, I am printing on a Delta printer, elliptical bed with X and Y equal at 280mm, and a Z of 550. 0,0 is bed center. I don't know what other things I could tell you that would help you diagnose this.

Currently I have to save to a file, manually edit to remove the M104 and continue. I only have one extruder, and I have custom begin and end code. See below. My gcode flavor is Repetier.

Hey! I'm having the same experience. Here is a trick for now, you can use the "Search and Replace" plugin to search for "M104 S200" and replace with "M104 S210" (or whatever your preferred temp is. The plugin is under Extensions...Post Processing...Modify GCode...Add a Script. Hope that helps!

I did a few tests but can't reproduce your problem. However, it looks like there is a problem with the 'Default Printing Temperature' setting. On my system that value is ignored and exports 200C instead.

As a workaround you might try:

• Revert the Default Printing Temperature setting to the default value (use the round arrow symbol next to the setting field).
  
• Set the 'Printing Temperature' to your desired value.
  

Just to be sure, Cura 2.6 isn't out yet. I believe you mean Cura v2.6-Beta?

[CarloK 203]

I tried reproducing in Cura v2.6.1 and can't reproduce the reported issue. Can you confirm it still exists?

I have always suffered the same type of thing with 2.4R. The gcode always sets temp to 210, irrespective of what I have entered in the Cura settings. To be honest I have not spent much time trying to find where it is coming from as I just mod the gcode before the starting the print as I need to mod the gcode for the z-offset command anyway from modify printer settings bug in 2.4

(Tried a reply and forgot to check the "Not a robot" box, so sorry is this is duplicated.)

Cura 2.6 has a lot of settings that are hidden and will assume a default value if another value isn't specified by the user (like "Initial Printing Temperature"). I would guess that that is where your M104 S200 is coming from. To track it down, open the Settings Visibility and do a search for Temperature, then check all of them to make them visible. Go back to your main page and look for a temperature setting with a value of 200. Change it to something more appropriate (like 220) and recompile. See if the M104 S200 is gone (and you find something like M104 S220).
