CURA temperature changing along printing

[stan_bulgaria 2]

Hello,

 

may be this question is already discussed. Sorry if so, but I don't find it in the forum.

 

Can I set different temperatures, fan and print speeds along the print height in Cura?

For example:

1. Start raft at one setting.

2. The first lets say 10 layers of the model to be with second setting.

3. The rest of the model to be with third setting.

 

If yes how to specify that?

 

My printer is Ender 3 V2.

 

Thanks for your time.

I've read this is possible on Ultimaker but from the printer menu, something as fine tuning. So you do this as "hardware change", but can you specify it in the slicing process?

You can look at the post processing scripts in Cura, maybe that helps.

Thank you Smithy. I checked the post processing scripts, but to make one is way above my knowledge and ability. I switch the settings manually at the printer menu until, if may be, it becomes available in Cura.

No need to develop something, there is already a ChangeAtZ script:

 

 

But I haven't tried it myself, but give it a try.

Thank Smithy,

 

Now I found it. I'll try it.

Be careful or keep in mind that a post processing script remains until you remove it again with the screen above. So don't forget otherwise you have it on every print job.

Good to mention. I see it also shows an icon with a hummer and wrench next to the SLICE button.

Yes that is also an indicator that you have something activated.
