Print Temperature won't go higher than 215°C

I’ve just changed filament to a low carbon PLA and set up the material as recommended in Luban at 230°C and exported to the USB dongle
Despite a supposed print temperature of up to 250°C the print head refuses to get hotter than 215°C.
It’s seriously effecting adhesion and making printing with this material impossible.
Anyone know of a fix?

Can you upload the GCode so we can double check that it’s generating the temperature correctly? It’s not supposed to start printing until it hits the target temp for the initial layer.

Here’s a RAR of the GCode. Not sure what I could have done differently, though I’m still a little new to 3D printing.

I’m unable to decompress that rar file. I’ve tried on a Mac, Linux, and Windows 10 machine. They all say it’s an unrecognized format.

I’m mostly interested in the temperate set commands. ie, the output of egrep '^(M104|M109|M140|M190)' steamcontrollerleftbumpermechanism_slow.gcode

If you’re on Windows, the first ~100 lines of the gcode would work as well.

seems to open fine in 7zip

Ah, at least I know where to look now.
Wasn’t sure I could even manually edit gcode, but it apparently opens in notepad.
Made the edit and it seems to be printing fine now.
Not sure why it capped me at 215⁰c in spite of material settings though.
