question on multiprocess

i want to print 6 different 20mm cubes, to understand the impact of temperature and extrusion multiplier on each cube. By the suggestion of another user, i created 6 different processes and duplicated the object 6 times. So i want to apply a different process for each cube.

I proceed and create the processes and assign properly to each object, using the "select models" option. I am also using different temperatures on some, for this i also check the "wait for temperature to stabilize" to begin printing.

As i press prepare to print, i ave to select all models, so it is only one file, using the option of "layer by layer" instead of object by object.

The print starts, but the temperature does NOT change when the extruder moves from one object to the other. Is this a bug ? or how can i fix that ? I even wonder if all the other parameters that i tweaked are actually changing or is it only using the one for the first. I am attaching the factory file if you want to check it out. Any ideas? thanks

I think changing temperatures between each cube, multiple times per layer would get shakey. I would recommend doing three different prints of three cubes each, that way you can keep constant temperatures for each print.

For instance:

@190 C, extrusion width of .95, 1.0 and 1.05
@205 C, extrusion width of .95, 1.0 and 1.05
@220 C, extrusion width of .95, 1.0 and 1.05
