Printrbot Play Heated bed

I have a Printrbot play with a heated bed and I have added the Headbed to the Temperature Control list. However when I add a Material Such as ABS and set up the the Temps for ABS, when I change between the Materials to say PLA, the extruder temps are correct, but the heatbed temp stays the same in both profiles. If I change it in the other profile, then switch back to ABS, the temps are changed to the PLA heat bed temp. It is not retaining the setting I place for the materials. if that makes sense.

Go to File > Export FFF Profile to save your profile to your hard drive, then open it in a text editor. If you scroll down to the bottom, you will see all of the <autoConfigureMaterial> sections. The tags inside those sections determine what settings are changed for different materials.

So if you want to add a bed and have that change for each material, then just put the <globalBedTemperature>60</globalBedTemperature> tag inside each section and edit the value as needed.

Once you're done, save the file and go to File > Import FFF Profile to load it back into the software.
