M109 just disappears from the start script when compiled

[reight]

Has anyone else had M109 just disappear from their start script when a gcode file is made in version 3.1.0?

I was setting up a new printer with Repetier, and for the life of me I couldn't figure out why my printer started the print before the extruder was up to temp.

;Begin Starting Script
G28 ; home all axes
M323 S1 ;Enable Distortion Correction
M190 S[bed0_temperature] T0 ;Wait for Heated Bed Stabilse
M117 Bed Heating
G4 S600 ;Wait 600 sec/10 mins for heat bed to fully heat soak
M104 S[extruder0_temperature] T0 ;Set Extruder Temp
M109 S[extruder0_temperature] T0 ;Wait for Extruder Temp to Stabilise
M117 Extruder Heating
G1 X0 Y0 Z10 ; Move up
;Finish Starting Script

The result was that the extruder was turned on, but wasn't waiting till the taget temp was reached, berfore printing.


I removed M104 from the script
Result was printer started to print and no extruder temp set at all

I looked at the gcode files, and the line where M109 was supposed to be was missing!

I've used M116 instead M109 which works and is fine for now, but i don't see why M109 would disappear.

I know if you try to do an M109 S0 it won't let you, since that causes many printers to just hang forever. So maybe that's what's going on.

If you want to post your factory file, it would be much easier for others to help

My Factory file or FFF Profile file? If it's the factory file you are after I wouldn't have a clue how to upload it to here.

Here's the FFF File with the M109 command in it.

Ah, didn't see the button down there I thought it would have been in the top tool bar.

Here's the factory file.

[CompoundCarl]

It seems like you're using a custom firmware file. That may be the problem, since it's possible those settings are incorrect. Can you go to Tools > Firmware Configuration and export your firmware file? Or if you've already done that, just attach that file too.

[reight]

Yeah custom firmware settings, I'm running Repetier on a Rambo.
