Problem printing PRUSA G-code to K1-Max
I'm using Prusa 2.6 Win64. I have a K1 Max printer, but using Creality Print, I get shadowing on the embossment for some reason, even on the print preview after slicing. I thought I'd go to the Prusa slicer using the same .stl. I used it yesterday and it took 18 hours to print what should have take about 2-3 hours. I went ahead and printed it and the embossing came out fine. Today I went in to change the parameters to match the K1 Max, and I got the projected time down to about 2.5 hours. I have a problem with the printer printing because it says the nozzle temperature is too low. I'm setting the nozzle temp at 230 in the Filament Settings>Filament tab. Is there another place I need to set it?
Not sure how this printer works, but it first goes to 220 nozzle temperature then drops down to 150 nozzle temperature and does some gyrations. It is when it is supposed to ramp up to 230 that it tells me the nozzle temperature is lower than the minimum allowed.
I guess I'm not allowed to upload my gcode. If there is anything else that can help resolve this, please let me know.

Changed to RepRap/Sprinter and it is now printing. Will let you know if that completes as advertised; about 2.5 hours. Is that best setting for me?

To attach files you need to zip them up. However far more useful than gcode would be a saved Prusa Slicer project file. With a 3mf saved from PS (File>Save Project As) then we would get all your settings from the 3 in use profiles as well as the model and can generate the same gcode anyway.
If you could zip up your project file as well as a gcode sample generated from Creality Print then we could take a look at it.
I'm guessing that there is something incorrect with your printer profile being used. The K1 uses a form of Klipper iirc and so it might be that your profile isn't passing over the correct placeholders.

One of the videos I saw recommended RepRapFirmware. I'll try with the default which was sprinter also. Meanwhile, here are the 3mf files from both Creality Print and Prusa. Parmesan3mf is the Creality Print 3mf.

Sprinter worked.
