Simple Temperature Tower In Cura 5.1.0 - It's Now SO Easy!

3d Printer Temperature Tower

In this video I'm going to show you the super simple way to create a temperature tower in Ultimaker Cura 5. The exact same process works in Cura 4.13 too if you are not on Cura 5 yet.

The whole process will take about 5 minutes and will enable you to find the perfect printing temperature for any 3d printer filament you want to print with.

Now very easy, just choose your tower. Slice and export to disk. Add to your printer and all is ready to print. Thanks Ricky. Best instructables on the net. Thanks for your no bullshit. An example for all other tubers. Just starting and you give very usefull information. Best regards. Willem

You're a real champ for making such a simple and concise tutorial, thanks!

That temp tower script has a big problem that most of these scripts share. Its using an M104 command to change temperature. 104 doesn't wait for the temp to complete changing before continuing. So each band is cooling as its printing: You don't have a band that is just one temp. In a normal print you want that smooth gradient and not something obvious in your print. That's not the use case in a temp tower. Here you want an M109 which is "change and wait", so that each band of change is truly that one temp. I usually go through with Notepad++ and find/replace all those M104 to M109

I have been watching your videos on this subject since 1 year ago when I wore my sonic pad device. I learned a lot. Your explanation is very clear. Thanks.

Clear and straight to the point. You've earned a sub! Keep up the great work!

This has saved me so much time searching through temp towers that didn’t work properly. Thank you for all your helpful advice!👍🏻

The fact that you only have 3k subscribers baffles me. Loved the vid. Short, sharp and concise.

[LoeKie_Aus]

Amazing work sir, without playing in the geode, not that confident yet. This makes it so much easier to comprehend. Thank you.

I will have to resort back to my basic math skills, which were not one of fav topics in school, but hey anything that will help feed my addiction. Thank you for the great video. Much appreciated.

[jettech]

As others have said thank you for making such an easy video for a beginner 3D printer to follow! You have earned a new subscriber!

[LeadSkillets]

Thank-you! Found this after sifting through a million outdated and convoluted guides. So much better.

[raywilliams]

Pleased I found your video on YouTube very clear precise instructions, I will look for more of your videos.

[remghoost]

Quick, thoughtful, and very informative.
This is how all tutorials should be.

[theratdude]

I don't usually comment on videos, but you really helped me out with this tip that this extension exists. Thanks!!

[JustinPulsipher]

Thank you for the simple, and above all: concise tutorial without all the rambling some other tubers do. This was video exactly as long as it needed to be and no more. Thank you again.

[ajustice]

awesome info! i would love to see a diag section with these tests, like how do we select the correct temp what are we looking for? same with other tests

[pepegrillox]

Thank you ! I got my printer about a week ago and I’m trying to hone it in to start making what I want lol and this is very helpful !

[sebeck]

Great tutorial. This is my second time back here to learn how to do it again because I forgot. Thank you!

[megabiv]

Thanks, great video and easy for someone new to temp towers and actually all the marketplace and scripts you can get in Cura were new to me too. So yeah this is really helpful, thanks again.

[Hephaistos-qb]

Thank you for again a clear explanation. I had to increase the Cura temp tower by 2, 125% to ensure every temperature "layer" was 42 layers on my Ender 3 V2 with every layer 0.2 mm, thereby using an offset of 4 layers and a distance of 42, the temperature change occured at exactly the same place in the tower for every temperature "layer". I was a bit confused until I found out that in the gcode the first layer is layer #0, while in Cura the first layer is #1.
