I'm doing a project right now with sunLU wood filament. I tried the temp @215C, which is right in the middle of the manufacturer's range of 200C to 230C. It came out stringy. So, I printed a temperature-stringing test tower & found the ideal temperature on my setup is 180C.
That leads to my issue. When I tried changing the temperature to 180C and print my test model, I noticed that the printer suddenly changed the temperature to 230C. I don't know why it's doing this.
I tried 3 times in a row & it did the same thing each time. I looked at OctoPrint's Terminal window & could not find only M104 S180 & M109 S180 command. I even copied the contents of the terminal window to Notepad++ and searched for other M104 or M109 commands. There were none.
Finally, I used the LCD screen to override the temperature & set it to 180C.
The real question is, what the heck could be causing this? My understanding is that the firmware only does what it's told to do. How is the printer overriding the gcode commands?
