Posted · cura setting print temp to 230 for PLA

Hi 2nd post of the day, so thank you in advance of any help

Ultimaker 2 +

with latest firmware

cura 4..6.1

the printer is self is set for PLA wit a default hot end temp of 200 and 60 build plate

2.85mm filament etc pretty standard stuff

 

I normally print with .4mm nozzle but decided to change to .6mm to see what difference i can can achieve. and may be fix so other issues.

 

When cura slices a model using the parameters of generic PLA and .4mm nozzle. it would appear the the corresponding G code keeps / maintains a 200 degree hot end temp

 

when i change the Cura setting to allow for a .6mm nozzle it would appear that cura is overriding the printer default some how and settings the hot end temp to 230. While the PLA i am using seem to cope with this high temp it not right.

 

I am no g code expert but i think i would be expecting a "S" command to set temp and i can't see one in the code see below.

Even if i know what i was looking for i don't want to start editing g code. 

so i am hoping its a Cura issue and can be fixed with a update or moving back to a earlier version

    Cura does not add temperature commands for "Ultimaker 2" gcode-flavor (a.k.a. UltiGCode).

     

    The material configuration on the printer includes temperature- and retraction settings for 5 different nozzle diameters. 230C is the default temperature for PLA and 0.6mm nozzle. You can adjust it there, if you want:

     

    Material -> Settings -> Customize -> Temperature

        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.
