Printer settings in Cura 3.2.1


Recommended Posts

Posted · Printer settings in Cura 3.2.1

I have three monoprice 3d printers in my classroom.  I recently upgraded the software to Cura 3.2.1  For the most part, it seems to work better, however, I want to control the temperatures within the settings, and I can not find how to adjust the bed and extruder temps.

 

In the "how to" section of your site, you list "Machine" as one of the custom setting options, but I don't have that when i pull it up.  What am I missing?

    On right side of Cura, next to "print setup" make sure "Custom" is selected (versus "Recommended").  Then two lines down in the "search" box type "temp".  

     

    If you don't see any temperatures then Cura thinks the temperature is controlled on the printer only.  That is the case for example with the Ultimaker 2.  So if there are no temperatures the next step is at the top right corner there is a black box with your printer type, click that drop down and then "manage printers".  Not sure what to do at that point.

        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
