Repetier default temps and changing them.

My abs needs the hotbed temp at 100 to stick. The default temp set is 80-85. I changed the default temp to 100 on 'printer settings' but as soon as a job starts OR for no apparent reasoned default temp jumps back to 80 spoiling my job in a couple of minutes if I do not notice the immediate change. How can I set the temp to 100 and stopping the jumping back - where is the true default setting?

 

There's a setting in slic3r. When you start a job those settings get sent and override the "defaults" within Repetier.

I'm on a Mac so I don't know what it looks like on a PC (I know there are slight differences in menu names) but on a Mac, if you go to the slicer tab (next to Object Placement) and then hit "Configure" it'll bring up Slic3r's configuration screen.

Then, under "Filament Settings" and "Filament" (on the left window) you'll see on the right side a set of text boxes for Temperature. This is where you set Temp for the extruder during the job.

 

love your work Melody Bliss, thanks

 

In a slightly related note, I set my config to print a skirt with two layers. When I change it to one, then save, it reverts back to 2. Do I have to delete my configuration and do it over?

 

I saved it as the original and even tried renaming it. As soon as the save is finished, you can see the number flip back to the original #2. I don't recall the other setting on that window, the first one at the top, is also set at 2. That also flips back. I have made other changes to the config, like lowering the default temp and those stick. It's only the skirt tab that doesn't want to accept my changes.

 

cosber, I've run into the same thing- seems to me to be a bug in the software. In my case completely closing/reopening the application and then resetting the value worked (the new value then "stuck").

 

ashokanman, are you using Repetier-Host for Windows or Mac?

 

Windows (at this point).
