Re: Check temp before begin build

Exactly. Note: Referring to my DaVinci (now with Repetier FW), when the temps get to target, they fluctuate +/- 1 deg and I found using the M109 and M190 cause the machine to wait until both are at target temps - causes much delay. I found using M116 works best for me...

Re: Check temp before begin build

This is what I came up with, finaly got it to work with some existing gcode online and some lines deleted and added. =)

Now both bedtemp and extruder heats up before the print starts. Even got the bed to lower before extruder moves over the edge.

I read a old post when I google for codes, that the M116 didnt work in repetier, and thats why I didnt use it from the start, but it seems that they have fixed that.

M140 S[first_layer_bed_temperature] ; Bed (no wait)
G90 ; set absolute coordinates
G28 ; home all axis
M190 S[first_layer_bed_temperature] ; Bed (wait)
M109 S[first_layer_temperature] ; Extruder (wait)
M116
M117 Start
M300 s1000 p400 ; Beep
M300 s1500 p400
M300 s2000 p400
