Does it heat when you use the preheat function from the menu?

Re: I cant get slic3r to work

yea it preheats fine and its not the printer , since I wrote a bit of my own g.code and it preheated , so now I am going to  try to simply use one line from the g.code that aparantly heats the nozzle . Heres the g.code link

its marlin so my printer can run it
I will try running one line of g.code freom this file

Re: I cant get slic3r to work

I ran one line and it worked fine . Oh yea and my first print with slic3r worked fine . I did tinker with the filament settings. but all I did was turn off fans , since Im printing with abs

Post your complete start gcode as is. Let's see what it is doing?

Re: I cant get slic3r to work

this is the gcode it gave me

Re: I cant get slic3r to work

it works when I preheat . If after I start preheating I start the print the bed tempature heats to what I set in slic3r  instead of what it normally preheats to . I cant know if its the same with the nozzle because I have that set to what the printer preheats to

This is what it should do. Slicer settings always override manual settings. So yes it will heat to preheat temps. But once you start the print it will change to the settings in the slicer. Is this what I understand is happening?

Re: I cant get slic3r to work

I dont think so , because when I print without preheat it says I set the nozzle to 0 so no heat . But when I first preheat and then print itl heat the nozzle to the tempature when it normally preheats . Im lucky that the tempature I was going to print with was the same as when it preheats (not from slic3r)

Re: I cant get slic3r to work

which version of slic3r are you trying to use?

I ask because there are several variations out there, and each is slightly different

SD4 #1 & #2 - Lawsy carriages, E3D v6, Rumba controller board, mirror bed plate, X motor fan, upgraded PSU & Mica bed heater
SD4 #3 - in the works ~ Folgertech FT-5, rev 1
Printit Industries Beta Tester - Horizon H1

Re: I cant get slic3r to work

I have had a similar problem with Slicer, Slicer PE, and Cura.

If I start a print and I"m not already at or above the start temps for both bed and extruder, it just sits there and does not heat up to temp. I've used all three of these slicers and upload to Octoprint. I just have my pre-heat temps a few degrees above my print temp. As long as I don't start a print before it reaches temp, it works fine.

I assume it's my start gcode but it looks good to me and my workaround is easy enough.
