Temp towers printing at slicer temp setting.

[g4dgetboy]

Hi, I recently had an issue where the petg temp tower would print the base at the slicer setting (230) as expected but when getting to the temp change would pause, raise temp for next section (250), then immediately the temp would drop back to the slicer set temp (230) It would repeat this until the end of the print.

I tried this multiple times with the same results.

Not willing to give in I tried “the Microsoft method” and uninstalled the extension then reinstalled it and it seems to be working again.

Running a print now and the temps are changing and holding as usual.

Just thought you’d like to know.

Awesome work :D

Iv been trying to find the solution to this. My temperature kept dropping back down to 195c. "small Layer Printing Temperature in cooling settings was set at 195c. changed that back to its fx value (same as printing temperature), inspected the GCode and the only M104 commands are now the ones injected by the script.

I've thought I had the same problem for g-code generated by Autotowers and Cura in Cura 5.10.1. But then I read something on reddit that the autotowers temp towers is only supposed to be used to test layer adhesion. That you want to assess that by trying to break it at the notches between sections. So the goal is to print that autotower, try to break the layers apart and the one that sticks the best is the temp you want to start calibrating from.

So this autotowers for temperature isn't messing up when it goes back to the defined material printing temperature. It IS supposed to do that.

Then you will print the retraction settings to eliminate the stringing issues you probably will get.
So this autotower temperature is just the first step of the process.

I've been printing for 5 years but relying on the Ultimaker S series to do it all for me. I'm now trying other brand filaments and so just learning about all this tuning stuff.

Hope that info help you. I"m off to learn the retraction tuning now that I found my filaments optimal temp to be printed at.

fyi.. you'll need openSCAD but you probably already knew that. just mentioning in case you don't.
