My Temps Do Not "Stick"
I am very new to 3D Printing. But I have been given a DaVinci 1.0a printer. I installed a E3D-V6 hotend and Repetier firmware 0.92.10M version. Also installed Repetie-Host V2.16.
I can get it to print, but not dependable. I can connect from my computer to my printer dependably. And load prints in Repetier and slice them. The trouble is that I can make my temperature settings in the Slicer configuration settings and they don't change in the print. I make a temp setting and "save" then slice, then print. I go to Manual tab in Repetier to watch the print and the temp has not changed to my set point. For either the filament or bed temp.
I have set my Printer Settings tab in Repetier-Host and the Extruder temps are set at the highest point I want the temps to go. Max Extruder-285C, Max Bed-110C.
I have found that the temps do not change in either Slic3r or Cura slicers from the Slicers tab in Repetier-Host.
Anybody able to tell me why my temps don't "stick?" I assume that other changes I make in the slicer settings also don't stick, but hard to check without proper temps.
Thanks,
Ron

Then check the generated gcode if they have the temperatures for M104/M140/M109/M190. Also firmware has max. values and if you exceed them firmware will reduce them to internal max values. So first check where they get set and reduced. In host activate log and check send commands so you see what gets send. A good test would be to manually set these temperatures and see if you succeed.
Regarding temperature problem none of the pictures is helpful. In host uncheck remove temp requests from log, activate ack and commands in log and set temperature to 285 and see what happens in log. Do you see M104 S285 - if so does firmware report 285 as set temperture afterwards or does someone inject another M104 command or does firmware set it to a different value. Then you know why it gets reduced to something else.
You seem to use Marlin - no idea how marlin handles max. temperatures. But you should see what it makes out of it.

shows clearly it is the firmware where you have a hard limit of 270°C so firmware reduces it to 270 if you try anything higher.
You have
and more important
where the firmware limits come from. So increase these in configuration.h and upload new firmware and it should be accepted.
