Weird Octoprint Temp behavior

3D Fabrication
#1

I used the dropdown to set temp. After a few minutes it reset the target to 180C (from 250) While printing it was resetting the target every few minutes. This was on PP 92

That has been normal for all of the years I’ve been a member using the PolyPrinters. If the bed is not fully at temp when the print is started then the hotend is set to 180c. Once the bed hits its temperature then the hotend is reset to 260c. I believe this is to not cause the filiment to burn inside the hotend chamber while it waits for the slow bed heat up.

I must just never have noticed. I usually preheat the bed and head and do some test extrusions before printing. Makes sense though.

Thanks
