Thanks, Everyone!
Using the advanced mode executable:
After choosing to export, and selecting print settings with the wizard, I was able to insert a temperature change line into the gcode (via the tab_gcode _editor tab) , hit the save icon (still on the gcode tab) to create a .3w export file.
I took the exported file on SD card to the printer, and started the print. The display showed the extruder heat up to 185c and then the print head moved to the right to lay down the cleaning strip. Here, the printer paused, and I thought that I had damaged the export file. After a couple of seconds wondering what to do, the printer layed down its purge strip, and began to print.
There was no way to view the temperature from the machine while it was printing, however, I was able to start and cancel a print, and the status monitor showed the extruder at 211c
I used white Hatchbox PLA, which has a recommended temperature range of 180-210c
210 may be too hot for the slow speed that I chose, and may have added a few small strings and blobs.
My previous attempts at benchy, using the default speed and 185c temperature all had holes in the sides , and floors of the ship.
The result was the best 3dbenchy I have printed to date on my jr.
