Cura 2.6 ignores Material Temperature

Hey there,

i set for every Material a Print Temperature in the Manager.

But if i switch Materials, this setting is ignored and saved in the Profile Manager.

It makes no sense, because i make this setting for a material. So i have to make

for every Material a Material Setting and a Profile Setting.

    You need to create a material profile for every material you have or make a default PLA profile for example and when you change materials you select the same default.

    Or you can select from one of the default CURA materials and edit one of those.

    The Material Temp in the materials manager is a base temp. this has an offset when printed at different layer heights.

    I'm not sure what the base is. maybe 0.1 layer height.

    So make sure that you desired temp at a set layer height works with this offset. For example, if you set the material temp for 200deg at 0.1 layers then if you select a printing height of 0.2 then it will offset the temp to 210deg.

    Oh really? So i have for every Material to make some Profiles like Fine/Normal/Fast?

    That means, if i have 5 different Materials with different Temps i have to create 15 Profiles?

    That makes no sense. So i hope the developers would think about, to include the temperature into the Material Settings, not in Profile Settings.

    No you don't need to make different ones for fine,normal,fast. It's automatic.

    If you create a material, the temp will automatically change depending on if you select fine,normal,fast.

    So if you create a material and give it a temp of 200deg but select fast, it will change the temp to 210deg.

    I seeing the same,

    So if you use custom profiles the material settings aren't applied?

    I'm testing "fine", it has brim settings and the speed is 60mm/s,

    Don't need a brim and want to go slower so it's not a working "fine" profile for me.

    If you like to use custom profiles you need to make one for each material ?

    In some cases yes. If you want to print faster, you tend to need a higher temperature. Printing faster is tied to quality (and material and printer). The profiles that we define are based on quality type, nozzle type, material and printer. If you change any one of those, you get a different profile.

    Most times, i switch only between layer height. I print most materials in same speed, but with different temperatures.

    I think it should be a user decision, if the temp in profiles takes advantage.

    The main temp should be set in the material settings. If i don't set different temps in the profile, the material temps should used.

      • UltiMaker Cura 5.3 stable released
        In this stable release, Cura 5.3 achieves yet another huge leap forward in 3D printing thanks to material interlocking! As well as introducing an expanded recommended print settings menu and lots of print quality improvements. Not to mention, a whole bunch of new printer profiles for non-UltiMaker printers!

      • Here it is. The new UltiMaker S7
        The UltiMaker S7 is built on the success of the UltiMaker S5 and its design decisions were heavily based on feedback from customers.
         
         
        So what’s new?
        The obvious change is the S7’s height. It now includes an integrated Air Manager. This filters the exhaust air of every print and also improves build temperature stability. To further enclose the build chamber the S7 only has one magnetically latched door.
         
        The build stack has also been completely redesigned. A PEI-coated flexible steel build plate makes a big difference to productivity. Not only do you not need tools to pop a printed part off. But we also don’t recommend using or adhesion structures for UltiMaker materials (except PC, because...it’s PC). Along with that, 4 pins and 25 magnets make it easy to replace the flex plate perfectly – even with one hand.
         
        The re-engineered print head has an inductive sensor which reduces noise when probing the build plate. This effectively makes it much harder to not achieve a perfect first layer, improving overall print success. We also reversed the front fan direction (fewer plastic hairs, less maintenance), made the print core door magnets stronger, and add a sensor that helps avoid flooding.
         

         
        The UltiMaker S7 also includes quality of life improvements:
        Reliable bed tilt compensation (no more thumbscrews) 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi A 1080p camera (mounted higher for a better view) Compatibility with 280+ Marketplace materials Compatibility with S5 project files (no reslicing needed) And a whole lot more  
        Curious to see the S7 in action?
        We’re hosting a free tech demo on February 7.
        It will be live and you can ask any questions to our CTO, Miguel Calvo.

      • UltiMaker Cura Alpha 🎄 Tree Support Spotlight 🎄
        Are you a fan of tree support, but dislike the removal process and the amount of filament it uses? Then we would like to invite you to try this special release of UltiMaker Cura. Brought to you by our special community contributor @thomasrahm
         
        We generated a special version of Cura 5.2 called 5.3.0 Alpha + Xmas. The only changes we introduced compared to UltiMaker Cura 5.2.1 are those which are needed for the new supports. So keep in mind, this is not a sneak peek for Cura 5.3 (there are some really cool new features coming up) but a spotlight release highlighting this new version of tree supports.
