Settings input in Cura during slicing are not being used by printer

Sovol SV06 Plus
1

I have a newly purchased SV06 Plus, and when I adjust any settings ( temps, print speed etc) during slicing, using Cura 1.5.6, my printer seems to ignore these changes and just does it’s own thing. I can manually adjust some of the settings during printing via the printer touch screen, but that seems to defeat the object of creating the settings during slicing? FYI I am transferring the settings from my laptop to printer via micro SD. Any ideas as to what I’m doing wrong, or have I bought a faulty printer?

Do you have 1.5.6 on both the laptop & computer…??
Also, is this the old Sovol Cura…??
The newest Cura is 5.9.0.

If you don’t have the same version on both, this is your problem.
If you do, just Export your Profile from one & Import it to another.

Hi Lion! I’m using Cura 1.5.6 that came installed on the TF card ( micro SD) that came with the printer, I’ve installed that on my laptop from the same card. The only info I can see displayed on the printer touch screen is the firmware version which is V1.1.5.

Hi,
As @Lion says, you can download and install the latest version of Cura from the Ultimaker website.
This version includes the SV06+

I don’t know if the Import/Export option was there in 1.5.6, but if it is, you will find them here:

Like @mich0111 said, you should download the newest Cura…you will loose some speed settings…but you will gain so much more.

Good Luck

Cheers both…I’ve downloaded Ultimaker-Cura 5.9.1 on to my laptop…do I have to update my printer somehow too? ie will the printer automatically be able to read and interpret the sliced file created in Ultimaker-Cura 5.9.1?

No, nothing to do on the printer side.
For your information, when you want to slice a model (stl files, 3mf or something else), you need to choose your printer profile on the slicer software.
In this profile, the shape of the bed, the capabilities of the printer (size of the build for example), and depending on the filament, printing speed, temperatures, jerk and so on.
With all these datas, the slicer will generate a g-code file according to your model and it is this g-code file that is operated by your printer.
