Altering Print Temp Settings

Will it be possible to alter the print temperature settings -ie Extruder Temperature -for each filament used in the MMU2?

So for example i'm printing in PETG with extruder temp set at 235 then I want to print some support material but that needs an extruder temp of 215.

Will Slic3r and the MMU be able to manage this or do I need to find a support material that matches the temp of the main material I'm using? Easier said than done with the high temp materials.

Re: Altering Print Temp Settings

This "feature" is already available - even for MMU1.

The only issue is that currently M104 is used (heat, don't wait) and if the temperatures are significantly different you may want to use M109 instead.

Please let me know how this works for you. I assume that you will need to work with a support material that's at least a little bit fusible with your model material.

Re: Altering Print Temp Settings

it should use the filament temperatures set in your slicer for each filament. it works for doing filament changes manually at least. I even think they have "warm up and cool down pauses"

I have a Prusa,therefore I research.
