Cura 3.0 start gCode temperatures reverting to machine defaults

[newt80ns 0]

The temperatures for the extruders will not properly set within the start gCode section, they do properly set once the tool change for that extruder occurs. Presently I have the hand-edit the start of each gcode to update the warmup and purge temperatures before the print starts. I run a number of materials through this machine, so I'd rather not get around it by hacking together a new custom FDM profile with hard coded sane values, as that would still ignore the slice-time temperatures I'm trying to use.

This machine profile is built from a custom FDM profile

My start gCode:

This screenshot I believe covers what I have things set to, and where/when I think it's pulling the incorrect values

I should also note that I've tried both material_print_temperature_layer_0 and material_print_temperature. Both output the same 210 value.

I see that in your start gcode a little bit higher above your M104 s[temperature] you have another M104 with temp, perhaps they are in conflict with each other? Could this be it perhaps? @Tinkergnome, I'm sure you also have a valuable 2 cents.

I may be wrong, but i think that's just the way it's implemented. These placeholders are always replaced by the values from the printers definition, not by the current material settings. @newt80ns - that's why those placeholders are quite useless for your purpose. The only other possibility i know is to leave them completely out, Cura will add the temperatures at the beginning of the gcode then. If you actually need the M80 in front of it - you're lost... @nallath knows probably much more about this topic.

These placeholders are always replaced by the values from the printers definition, not by the current material settings.

No, they are not. Or at least, the problem is more subtle.

The problem here is that the placeholders are ignorant of the concept of multiple extruders. If you have a multi-extruder machine, materials are set per extruder, and so are the setting values for these materials. Unfortunately, the placeholders - ignorant of what extruder you are referring to - take their values from a "global" set of values. But there is no "global" material, so the value falls back to what is defined for the machine.

On a single extrusion printer, the placeholders work just fine, getting the values from the material (or the sidebar, if the user has entered another value in the sidebar).

I'm having a similar issue with 3.1. I am running a dual extruder on a custom FDM setup. I have all of my temp settings at 240 c in my material and the side column but when I output my gCode it starts off with T0 and T1 at 240 c and then as the extruders change it randomly changes the temp on the extruders. I have shown several sections of code from the same file below to show what is happening. This is a major issue because my machine uses a combined dual extruder that does not allow me to use different values for each extruder.

And attempt is made to fix this in Cura 3.2. I have not tested the attempt for Dual extrusion yet.
