Printing temperature

Hi there. I'm printing with cura 4.5 and Geeetech A20M printer. Everything went pretty smooth. I just selected the printer from the printer list and everything works pretty fine as is. 

 

The only problem I have is temperature. Besides I tell cura to print pla at 200º, It will always end up printing 215º. I really don't know where is this taking this 15 extra degrees from. 

On materials, I set generic PLA at 200º. 

At first stage, when heating up it will display 200ª as the limit, but after reaching 200ª it will raise up to 215ª and start printing. 

 

Any idea on this?

 

Thanks a lot.

    It might be a setting on the printer itself.  I've seen this feature on some printers.

     

    Also note that cura has many temperatures so type "temp" into the setting window in Cura.

     

    Also you can open the gcode and search for "S215".  It should not appear anywhere in the entire gcode file.  If it does then it's a cura issue.  If it doesn't then it's a A20M issue.

    So, I did what you say. I went through the code and found that "s225" few lines after "s200". It seems cura is doing something there. 

    Printer iPLA standard hotend temperature is set to 190, but as soon as I open the sd file, gcode overrides the printer temperature as it should. As I said goes up to 200 and then to 215. 

    I wil search throught those different temp types. Right now I don't have cura with me.

     

    Thanks a lot for your reply.

      • 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.
