Topic: HBP Temp

Hi all,
So I have just bought a new 3d printer from my step fathers work place (i got a very good price) which they have developed here in Australia.

It seems to be working well after ironing out a few bugs along the way.

My question
"Is it possible to change the HBP temp during the build, from what I understand the first layer of the build is the most important I have found that with this machine 120 degrees is a good temp as it prevents curling on raft. I would like to drop HBP to maybe 90 degrees after raft so no warping occurs is this possible? I understand that the code M109 in replicatorG that I am using relates to HBP temp, is it possible to place the M-Code further down the gcode file to change temp after raft but before build?"

Re: HBP Temp

Manually, yes. Just insert it into the gcode where you want it.

Re: HBP Temp

I did enter this further down past

"(<raftLayerEnd> </raftLayerEnd>)"

but didn't change plate temp I am using replicatorG v0.0029_r2 I was unable to load v0.0040 as 3d print driver not support i dont think or I could get it to go anyway still learning how everything is connected only had printer for a week. Any suggestions, have you been able to get this to work or was the comment given on a sense of logic?
