Newbie Question: Flashforge Creator Pro Temp Question

Hello,

I have a FlashForge Creator Pro and it is running the Sailfish Firmware.

I use Simplify and have it set the temperature for the extruder I am using (Left) and the heated bed and save it to a file for use on the SD Card.

When I run the file on the printer it sets the Bed to the correct temperature (110 C) but it tries to set the extruder to (0 C). If I select to manually override from the LCD Panel, it will set to the temperature I set it to (225 C). I checked the model file and it has the following line so I am assuming it is formatted correctly


; temperatureName,Right Extruder,Left Extruder,Heated Build Platform
; temperatureNumber,0,1,0
; temperatureSetpointCount,1,1,1
; temperatureSetpointLayers,1,1,1
; temperatureSetpointTemperatures,0,220,110
; temperatureStabilizeAtStartup,0,0,0
; temperatureHeatedBed,0,0,1
; temperatureRelayBetweenLayers,0,0,0
; temperatureRelayBetweenLoops,0,0,0
; fanLayers,1

Re: Newbie Question: Flashforge Creator Pro Temp Question

Are you using the stock FlashForge Creator Pro profile from the S3D configuration assistant? I use that profile all the time, and I haven't had any temperature issues. So you might want to try re-downloading it (just go back to the config assistant and select it again).

Also, keep in mind that if you are printing with the left extruder, the right extruder will probably be set to zero (i.e. turned off) during the print, even though the left one is heating up ;)
