Auto Temp Tower temperatures imbedded in other prints?

Posted · Auto Temp Tower temperatures imbedded in other prints?

Hi.

 

Ultimaker Cura 5:2.1

 

I decided to print Auto Temp Towers for all filaments I currently have. I wanted to make sure I print them at the correct temperature. I only have about 11 rolls.

 

I downloaded the "Auto Towers" extension and printed a couple but then had to print something else I needed to print.

I printed with the current filament which was still in after the temp tower. The correct temperature for this is 190C.  I couldn't understand why it was stringing. I checked and the temperature was 230C. I cleared the building plate with Ctrl-N and opened the STL again and printed again. (I have a Duet board and checked as it prints in the browser.) And then, at layer 4 the temperature changed to 230.

I downloaded the code and searched through it and noticed that the whole script is almost scattered with AutoTowersGenerator code. I realised that although the STL changed, Cure still used the Auto Temp Tower's temperature settings.

Here is The first piece of code where I realised that Cure didn't clear the Temp settings:

 

;LAYER:4
M104 S230 ; AutoTowersGenerator setting temperature to 230 for first section
M117 Temp 230 ; AutoTowersGenerator added

 

I found with regular intervals M104 commands to drop the temperature with 5C.

 

I know that when doing Auto Temp Towers that I had to remove the script where I manually created script to change the temperature every so many layers.

 

Please advise if I am doing something wrong or is there a script I need to run to clear the AutoTowersGenerator script from Cura's head?

 

Thanks.

        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.
