    FFCX ignores tempeture commands

    Ive used both makerware and replicatorG. I am running the newest sailfish. I litterally just got the printer yesterday and I was printing in ABS fine. But today when I switched to PLA I noticed that even though I set the extruder temps to 180 when it prints it goes to 230 which makes the plastic run. Ive tried both programs like I said, Ive tried making custom profiles and everything. Even when I manually change the GCode it still just does 230. How do I fix this?

    Yes that was it. I forgot to reset defaults when I was installing sailfish so I guess it was some sort of left over of the native firmware
