How do I change the Default Temp for generic PLA in Cura 5.3.1?   I have an FLsun v400 and need to up the temp a little for both the material and the bed.  Thank you.

Hi @ednewbold,

 

Just go to "Preference" menu in Cura, then select "Configure Cura" and seclct "Materials".

 

You will see this menu:

 

 

You simply have to duplicate the material with the properties you want to change,

then you have a copy written in "Italic" that's show this is an editable copy.

Edith: The above statement is wrong!

In here you'll see that I've changed the printing temperature to 210.

 

Thanks

Actually the italic means that this is the currently selected material for the current printer/extruder. There is only one italic material at any time.

Hi @ahoeben,

 

Never noticed this Thanks. 🙂

 

Maybe better to change the name to "Generic PLA Copy".
