    While attempting to print my filastruder hopper I notticed that my temp automatically changed after the first layer causing the print to delayer during the print. I set the printer to 190 but it dropped to 180 for some reason. This caused some print quality issues.

    On my second attempt it did the same thing but I caught it in time... so I canceled the print before wasting a lot of filament.

    Why is it doing this?

    How do I fix it?

    any help would be great.

    It is recommended to do the first layer at lets say 190 and the second layer at 185 or 180. This is for adhesion issues. I just PM'd you, regarding the PM you sent me some cool tips. I"m also going to post a new thread re: this.

    in slicer make sure you have it set to print 190 for all layers.
