I’m testing several new filaments for Polymakr. The thermistor in nozzle one (RHS) has come out of its casing so that nozzle is out of service. So I’m creating new filament profiles and doing my test prints using nozzle two.
But I notice that Repetier Host always loads up the default PLA profile for nozzle two, instead the one I’m using and saving. Why is that? I can change it manually to go back to my settings, but I don’t know if it’s adopting the flowrates I’ve chosen etc.
Is this a bug or user error? 
Have you set in the settings that you have 2 nozzles?
I just tried it on my Repetier config and I don’t have that problem.
Cheers,

Really? I’ve just reproduced the bug here at work. Perhaps I should have been more explicit. These are the steps.
-
Load an object. Assign extruder 2. Go into the Cura config settings, click filament and save the default PLA as a new filament type, say “test”.
-
Then change the print temperature to a new value. Then slice the object and hit print. You can do this with a virtual printer if you like and get the same result.
-
If you look at the temperature setting while it prints, you’ll see that it has retained the previous default values instead of the values you set for your “test” profile. In fact this seems to be the case if you assign extruder 1 as well.
Note that if I change the default PLA values and save it, then these changes are loaded when you slice and print. The problem is when you create a new filament profile in the Cura config, the new profile seems to get ignored?
The bug (if that’s what it is) can be reproduced for both extruders.
You need to select the new profile in the slicer settings window.
Also make sure you select it for the extruder you want to use. In your case extruder #2
Ah, thank you so much. I did initially suspect user error!
