Why SimplyPrint filament temperatures do not change slicer temperatures

The Cloud Slicer gets print temperatures from the selected slicer filament profile. Temperatures saved on a SimplyPrint material, filament type, or spool do not automatically change the temperatures used when slicing.

The short version

If you want to change the temperature used in sliced G-code, edit or change the slicer filament profile.

Do not expect these SimplyPrint values to change the slice:

• Material temperature
• Spool temperature
• Filament inventory temperature
• Temperature values used for queue matching or file analysis

Those values are useful elsewhere in SimplyPrint, but they are not the same as slicer engine filament profile settings.

Where slicer temperatures come from

The Cloud Slicer uses real slicer engines. Those engines expect filament temperatures to come from filament profiles.

The slicer filament profile can control:

• Nozzle temperature
• First layer nozzle temperature
• Bed temperature
• First layer bed temperature
• Cooling
• Flow
• Retraction
• Other filament-specific slicer settings

The exact setting names depend on the selected slicer engine.

Why SimplyPrint temperatures are separate

SimplyPrint also stores temperature information for materials and filament inventory.

Those values can help with things like:

• Showing expected material temperatures
• Checking whether a G-code file matches a printer or filament setup
• Printer matching and queue workflows
• Filament inventory information

They do not rewrite the slicer filament profile.

This separation avoids surprising changes. A spool record in SimplyPrint should not silently change a real slicer profile that may be shared, imported, or used across multiple printers.

How to change the temperature for a slice

1. Open Slicer in SimplyPrint.
2. Select the filament slot you want to change.
3. Open the filament profile selector.
4. Choose a different filament profile, or edit the current custom profile.
5. Change the temperature settings in the slicer filament profile.
6. Save the profile changes if you want to reuse them later.
7. Slice again.

If you only change a SimplyPrint spool or material temperature, the sliced G-code will not change.

If you search for temperature in settings

When you search for temperature settings in the Cloud Slicer, you may see a note telling you that filament temperature settings are configured in the filament profile settings.

That note is there because temperature settings are tied to the filament profile, not the normal print settings list.
