Wrong filament type in GCODE?
Hey folks!
I got my Prusa Mini+ up and running fine so far on the latest final firmware and slicing with Prusa Slicer 2.3.3 arm64 on an Apple MacMini M1.
My problem is, that the Printer shows the wrong type of filament. Everytime it shows PLA and loads the standard temperature settings, no matter what kind of filament I compile an STL with. I'm working with PETG and PLA so at the moment, when printing with PETG I have to correct the temp settings manually when the process starts.
Any hints, what I'm missing?
Thanks in advance and all the best!

Export your project as a .3mf, zip it and post it here, that way we can look at the settings.
Cheerio,

When you loaded the filament did you choose PETG correctly?
RE: Wrong filament type in GCODE?
I think, Mini show's filament type that was loaded last (after unload). Of course, if we print object that was sliced for different filament type, then settings (temperatures) from slicer will be used.
The problem is, we can't do first layer calibration if wrong filament was chosen at load. Too bad, there's no option to change filament type (the same way as we can change print sheet). So, the only solution is, to unload filament and load it back.

Good morning and thanks for the replies.
When I load new filament, the printer doesn't give me an option to choose what kind of filament I want to use...
Last project I printed whas this Pimoroni Pirate Audio enclosure:
Will try again later after work.
Thanks in advance.
