Changing my temp!

Hi there.
New user to simplify3d. Running on a MacBook Pro with my Flashforge Creator Pro Duo 2016.
How come when I slice my file, S3d reduces my Bed temp to 120 degrees?
The ABS I'm using has adhesion problems on first layer at that temp.
Luckily, I can immediately pause the job and increase it on my printer on the fly.
Is this a bug as I'd like to get around this.

Thanks
Kev

Re: Changing my temp!

Pretty sure that GPX doesn't allow bed temperatures over 120 degrees, so that's probably why you can't set it higher

Re: Changing my temp!

There's a newer version of GPX that allows higher bed temperatures, but Simplify3D doesn't ship with it by default. You can replace the GPX file in the Simplify3D application directory with one from here: https://github.com/markwal/GPX/releases Anything after 2.4.2 should allow you to set your bed temp higher.
