Temp Tower 220-185, so what's 175 for? #40

I installed this plugin, and created the temp tower. I followed the guidance here: https://github.com/5axes/Calibration-Shapes/wiki/PLA-TempTower-220---180%C2%B0C

When I inspected the gcode afterwards (to verify post-processing) I see the temperature actually goes down to 175.

Did I do something wrong?

Your cura settings must be linked to this default value : IE Change Layer ->52 and Change Layer Offset -> 5

Cura Layer height = 0.16 and check that the option Use Adaptative Layer is not active

It was the adaptive layer! thanks!

Yes it's a common issue, most of the Creality user who are using the default Dynamic Quality profile doesn't notice that this profile also activated this parameter (assuming you are one of this Creality user).
