MK4 Printer using Slic3r Linux Non-Planar version start up G Code changes

Just received a MK4. Love the MK4. Thank you, Prusa! I am hopeful that with this printer, Prusa will enable the Non-planar printing in Prusa Slicer. The MK4 is Non-planar ready. So please Prusa, if you read this please consider adding this capability to Prusa Slicer soon.

I need to print non-planar and that is why I must currently use the Slic3r Linux version. What I am trying to do is bring over that start up G code from Prusa Slicer and insert it into my Slic3r. 

Has anyone done this? Here is what I have done which is essentially copy all start up, ending and filament setting G code from Prusa Slicer into Slic3r. Everything appears to execute as it should until the nozzle needs to heat up to the temp I have specified in Filament settings. The nozzle stays at 170 and then I stop the print. So before I make some big mistake and ruin something I thought I would ask. 

Perhaps I just need to manually make some g code changes but wanted to see if anyone had any experience or advice first. Thank you for any comments positive or critical. My little fleet of other printers is doing this, non-planar, well enough but a farm of MK4's printing non-planar will be awesome.
