Heat up both extruders and platform?
I am hopefully just unable to find it, but is there a setting for heating up both the extruder(s) and the platform at the same time? Whenever I start a new print, the bed heats up first and THEN the extruder, which doubles the preparation time. Any tips?

Re: Heat up both extruders and platform?
starting gcode, make it:
I believe you may also want to go to the temperature tab and turn of wait for temp for each individual controller
Although it is usually not recommended to do this, as your extruders will be at temperature for a long period (bed takes a long time to heat up) and you will most likely have oozing before the print. You could set the M104's to something like 100 degrees to have it at a warm temp but not printing temp
Code: Select all
M104 S[extruder0_temperature] T0 ; set temp for extruder 0 do not wait
M104 S[extruder1_temperature] T1; set temp for extruder 1 do not wait
M140 S[bed0_temperature] ; set temp for bed do not wait
M190 S[bed0_temperature] ; wait for bed to reach temp
M109 S[extruder0_temperature] T0 ; wait for extruder 0 to reach temp
M109 S[extruder1_temperature] T1 ; wait for extruder 1 to reach temp
G28 ; home axis
