Does Cura remember material settings on a per-printer basis?

· Does Cura remember material settings on a per-printer basis?
The answer is surprisingly complex. Yes, Cura can have a single material that has different print temperature settings for different printers, provided that the two printers have two different printer definitions that both say that they come with their own set of profiles that are not shared between the two, but Cura does not have the interface to set that up. You would have to edit xml files by hand.

Ideally, I would select S1Pro as my printer, and then go to Materials, and edit RobPLA to print at 215C, and then change Printer to my Qidi, and then set RobPLA under my Qidi printer to print at 210C. Then if I go back to my S1Pro, it should show 215C again
Please realise that that word "ideally" is relative to your situation. Others may say "why do I have to change the settings for all my different printers? I want to change the value for all of them". Cura, not its developers, can read your mind while using Cura. Hence the current behavior.

In the Cura 5.8 stable release, everyone can now tune their Z seams to look better than ever. Method series users get access to new material profiles, and the base Method model now has a printer profile, meaning the whole Method series is now supported in Cura!
We are happy to announce the next evolution in the UltiMaker 3D printer lineup: the UltiMaker Factor 4 industrial-grade 3D printer, designed to take manufacturing to new levels of efficiency and reliability. Factor 4 is an end-to-end 3D printing solution for light industrial applications
