Ultimaker 3 Custom Material not syncing to printer

Posted · Ultimaker 3 Custom Material not syncing to printer

I have inherited an Ultimaker 3 from the former 3D print guru at my company.  Everything is going ok, except he had a bunch of custom filament that I want to use, but I cannot figure out how to get the printer to recognize that it's loaded.  They don't have the RFID Chip, so I've CREATED a custom material and given it the name, manufacturer, temp, etc. and loaded it into the Material 1 in Cura.

 

I've added some materials using the Martkeplace, if they are available, and they have made it to the printer somehow.  But, at least one is not, requiring me to completely create a new material.  It's in Cura, model is sliced, and Cura says there is a configuration change needed, or some such, and still the material is not listed on the printer to select and satisfy Cura.

 

I'd really like to be able to add some of these filaments into the printer and make things a bit easy.  I haven't found a guide online that has helped at all.
