Thanks for the video and explaining how to set these temps in Cura. As far as the tedious and repetitious part goes, just change the number of layers over which the temperature change is to take place from 1 (meaning immediate) to the total number of layers in the object. That way you only have to add one single line of code. Plus, you will get gradual temperature changes over the entire height of the project. You can see what the filament looks like while printing at 240, 239, 238, 237, 236, etc... rather than just 240, 235, 230, etc -- All done with one line of code which takes about 30 seconds to insert the code.

Thank you!! This is what i have been looking for.. This is how it gets set up in the Creality Slicer as well.

Very useful for a newbie like me. Thanks so very much.

I know this is an older video, and it is very helpful, I am a newbie to this stuff, started watching all your video's gotta lot to go through, Awesome detail explaining. I bought the Ender 3D Pro haven't unboxed it yet till I watch more learning videos.

He Richard thanks for the tutorial showed me some really interesting features of my slicer!!

[vcancer]

Do this video over with the new version DUDE!

[the.real.ipatch]

was a little tough to make out / depict the text in the screen recordings, that said, otherwise a great video. printing a temp tower as i type this, and things have been shuffled around with the latest version of cura ie. 4.1.x

As for screen recording check out OBS it's free and there are quite a bit of settings you can dial in to get the perfect screen recording going.

cheers 🍻

I can't find a "Plugins Tab" in Cura 4.0 or anything you are talking about after that point. Apparently you can't set heat temp levels with out a Masters Degree in computer science

I have question about cura 4.4 I sliced dado cube but when I loaded it into anet a8 plus there was no hotend temperature it just have bed temperature so I don't know what I am missing in settings to get the temperature to load ?

The "Vary temperature with height" plug-in on my 15.04.06 version of Cura has only 3 entries.

Initial nozzle temperature
Adjust temperature each time height changes by this much
Decrease temperature by this much at each height increment

It looks like this version of the plug-in only requires a single set of figures instead of one for each change in height.

I use 15.04.06 more than the newer versions of Cura because like to I use an initial flow rate of 105% for the first layer and haven't figured out how to do this with version 3.2.1 yet.

[amorton]

Why do you start with the hotter temp and end with the cooler?

[theGermanPrintingNerd]

Nice Video Richard BUT you are using a older version of Cura better would be the New version

[PGGraham]

The reason your times aren't right is because your speeds, accelerations, and so on don't match between cura and your firmware. Cura is set up faster than most third party firmwares are set slower.
