Simplify3D User Forum

I have a FlashForge 3D Pro and when I was using the ReplicatorG software it heated the build plate and the extruders at the same time. It seems that Simplify3D always heats the build plate first and then starts heating the extruders. This waists several minutes when starting a build. I know you can use the Machine Control Panel but is there any way to do this automatically?

Thanks,

Randy

This is actually pretty simple to change. You click Edit Process Settings then go to the Scripts tab. Under the Starting Script, you'd change the following. This is for the right extruder profile, but the principles are the same for the left extruder profile and both extruders profile.

Original:
M140 S[bed0_temperature] T0
M134 T0 ; stabilize bed temperature
M104 S[extruder0_temperature] T0
M133 T0 ; stabilize extruder temperature

Replace with:
M140 S[bed0_temperature] T0
M104 S[extruder0_temperature] T0
M133 T0 ; stabilize extruder temperature
M134 T0 ; stabilize bed temperature

1. Give the Build Plate the temperature command.
2. Wait until the Build Plate is at proper temperature to do any further steps.
3. Give the Extruder the temperature command.
4. Wait until the Extruder is at proper temperature to do any further steps.

Sweet! I was hoping there was a simple way to correct that.

Thank you very much!

Would love a tick box to make this happen on an ad-hock basis.
