Topic: Print Bed Turns Off Mid Print

I've been printing on my Solidoodle 4 and about 10 minutes (but seems to vary) into every print, my bed turns off. Some prints it seems not to affect, but most pop off shortly after the bed turns off. I can't figure out why or how to fix it, but right now, I have to sit with every print for the first 10-15 minutes and wait for it to click down to 30 and then reset it back up to my desired temp. Anyone know how to fix?

OK, found it in Slic3r configure. Default for PLA was first layer 95 all others 30. Do you really want your bed to just shut off after the first layer?

Just set it so they are the same.  90 seems plenty warm for PLA and for ABS you'll want to be closer to 105
