Topic: Repetier - start print - bed heater off
I'm experiencing the nasty problem, that when I start a print job, the bed heater is switched off.
How can I avoid this?
I'm using my Solidoodle 2 with Repetier 0.8 and Slic3r 0.95
Thanks
Kurt

Please post your g-code for an affected print file.

Re: Repetier - start print - bed heater off
M190 S0 seems to be the problem. It set the bed temperture to 0. Setting it to 0 in Slic3r is supposed to let you set it manually, and not actually set a 0 temp in gcode. It seems like a bug because it didn't used to do that. You can switch to an earlier version, or just delete that line from the gcode.
Re: Repetier - start print - bed heater off
it looks like you are using a version of my improved start.g-code
M190 S0 ; set and wait for bed temp to be reachedand
G1 Z100% F200 ;move platform close to nozzleare both problems.
Can you post up what you have in the start g-code field of slic3r and we should be able to fix it.

Re: Repetier - start print - bed heater off
I had the same problem yesterday. I just set the bed temp to 90 in slic3r, if i need it hotter i just turn it up manually during the print. im sure the next release will fix this bug.

Re: Repetier - start print - bed heater off
macmub, you can go remove the line that sets the bed temp from the start g code, then the problem goes away ..
Re: Repetier - start print - bed heater off
Yes, I'm using lawsy's improved start.g-code:
G21; set mm units
G28 ;home all axis
M190 S[first_layer_bed_temperature] ; set and wait for bed temp to be reached
M104 S200 ; set extruder temp and start heating
G90; set absolute coordinates
G1 Z5 F300 ;move platform down 5mm
G1 X10 Y10 F3000 ;move to front left corner
So it's probably the issue with the variable [first_layer_bed_temperature]
I've changed it to
M190 S90
and it's working now.
Thank you all for your help.
Re: Repetier - start print - bed heater off
In Slic3r, you can set the first layer temp to a different value than the rest. Usually this would be for increased stick with a higher temp. If you want it to work the original way, just match the first layer temp to the normal temp in the slic3r profile.
