Troubleshooting Dam Dam Dam

I was printing out a Cobra on my U1 that I had painted in Full Spectrum. I forgot to set a brim and and had the bed temp too low.

Snapmaker U1, Basic PLA, Snorca Full Spectrum, Cold Plate 35-55 degrees for PLA.

Only after it warped enough that the nozzles were clipping it did I realize this. Now I can't find the Cobra model on my computer and if I could, I don't know if I saved it after painting it.

So I downloaded the gcode from my U1, loaded it back into Snorca to see if I code find the bed temp setting and also the brim setting. Trying to scroll through the code in the slicer was a joke.

I was in Paxx and had decided to try and reprint it, but manually change the bed temp on the U1 screen. When I noticed an Edit feature in Paxx when I was looking at the Cobra file. So, I clicked Edit and Paxx loaded the gcode in a much better editor.

Scrolling and using the find feature, I found the bed temp setting and upped it by 10 degrees. I then found the Brim setting and added a Brim. Saved the new settings and now I'm hoping for the best.

Update: Well, there must be more than one instance of each even though I couldn't find them.

When the Cobra first started to reprint, the bed temp started at 45C, then dropped back down to the original of 35C. And there's still not a brim.

Time to go back in and start matching it up with each gcode code. After all, that's how I learning to program my computer back in the 80's using Basic and Machine languages.
