Default Temperature Settings

[BriPriUK 0]

I've just started 3d printing with an Anycubic Mega Zero 2. The printer is working fine, but when I set the temperatures in Cura to 205 and 60 (see screenshot) they are not picked up by the printer when the gcode file is loaded from the SD card - the printer stays at it's default (195 and 0) and I have to set them manually before I start printing.

What am I doing wrong?

Hi @BriPriUK I have a couple of questions.

First how did you add your printer to Cura? I can't add an Anycubic Mega Zero 2 since there is no definition file in the source. So I can't check it myself. 

It could be that this is defined in the start g-code. You can check that in the machine settings. Could you make a screenshot of that?

I use the Anycubic Mega Zero profile in Cura 4.10, as recommended by Anycubic.

There are different temperatures that can be set.  You are in the Basic Setting view and can't see them all.

Above the settings there is a search box and to the right of search box is a dropdown icon of 3 horizontal lines.  Click on that and go down and set the Settings Visibility to "all".

You will see the temperature section of Material like this:

 

I looked at the StartUp Gcode in your printer definition file and it looks fine.  If you would post one of your "bad" gcode files here @fvrmr or I will take a look and see what is going on.

I’m also having this same issue on my creality CR6-se after updating to Cura 4.10

im trying to print pla now instead of abs like I normally use and when changing the temps from 250/90 to 210/60 so I can print the pla, it keeps printing at 250/90 on the printer.

When errors occur they (usually) get documented.  The Cura.log file, your STL file, or a 3mf project file, and sometimes a gode file, may have the clues to a problem.  Without any documention we just have some verbiage that may or may not be an accurate description of what is really going on.

A problem may occur in an installation, in a model, in a definition, In a user's settings, or in the Cura output.  Without a log or 3mf file then diagnosing a problem is like shooting in the dark.  People here are certainly willing to help, but nobody really likes to just guess.

So if you would - Please post a 3mf file and your Cura.log file.
