ive been trying to make my 3d prints look better and needed to update cura so i updated cura and sliced a benchy with 200 degrees for the nozzle but when I put the sd card into the printer it only heated to 175 and I had to manually increase the heat to 200 for my PLA. After I did this I would wait for it to start printing and when it started printing it would get a bit into it then scramble itself. Anyone know why this happens and/or how to fix it I would be grateful thanks!

@xphillyboy it works fine for most people.  Something is wrong.  What kind of printer are you using and what did you select for your machine profile?

 

Actually - just post your project file.  That will answer my question and also show what profile and settings you are using and show us your model as well.  To do this go to "file" "save project..." and post that file here.

    Hey all,

     

    Failed printjobs can have a lot of causes. 😖

    Causes can be found in your printer, but also in your slicer. 

     

    Do you have a project file for us? It contains the printer and settings we need for troubleshooting. 
    To save a project file go to File -> Save project.

    I noticed in version 5.1 of Cura, it now has a standby temp of 175 for pla.  It preheats nozzle to 175, then heats bed, then resumes heating the nozzle to print setting.  This is part of the start code in your machine profile.  Might want to see if this is part of issue.

    From what I've read the Creality definition file for the Ender 3 Pro (at least) was altered to add that "heat to standy" line to keep down oozing during the Auto-Level routine.  It's in there whether you have an ABL or not.  You can stick a semi-colon in front of the line and the printer will ignore it.

    I would suggest that you change it to M104 S{material_print_temperature_layer_0}.  That will start the hot end heating and start the bed heating without waiting.

     

    This is from the new definition file:

    ; Ender 3 Custom Start G-code

    G92 E0 ; Reset Extruder

    G28 ; Home all axes

    M104 S{material_standby_temperature} ; Start heating up the nozzle most of the way

    M190 S{material_bed_temperature_layer_0} ; Start heating the bed, wait until target temperature reached

    M109 S{material_print_temperature_layer_0} ; Finish heating the nozzle

    I figured this out and I'm putting this answer in every forum I've found for this topic as none of the solutions I've seen in them were the solution that fixed my problem.

    Cura was starting at the right temp but as soon as it started printing, it dropped the temp to 175. For my issue, it was related to the specific material I had chosen. In settings under Materials, check the material(s) you have selected for your print. On the Print Settings tab, there is a standby temperature. Changing that to the actual print temperature fixed this for my situation. I may be late with this but hopefully it helps you or someone else searching for this problem.

    Better late than never. I believe this is the answer to those facing this issue. I will say this only started when I recently decided to update my Cura to 5.3.1. I was previously on 4.x.x. (cant recall). Thank you!
