Had my first failed print today. Anyone know why?
I did 5 prints so far of various shapes and sizes. They came out beautifully. Even with a solid 250g print. No warping. Something that never worked with my Ultimaker Original without a heatbed.
Today I had my first failure. It lifted up from the heatbed faily early on. I cleaned the platform for the first time and re-started. Then I noticed it only wanted to set the temperature to 175°C for PLA. Back in slicer, it was setup for the mini instead of the i3mk3s.
Any idea why it chose that temperature and the mini settings? Can I delete the mini settings all together?

hold on a moment, I need to polish my Crystal Ball...
are you using the Prusa Mini? Knock once for Yes and Twice for No... Lol...
Ok... As far as I am aware the Mk3 printer profiles, do not have two stage start up where as the mini does a two stage heat up.
to try and reduce Dribble.
here is a copy of the Mini start up G code
G90 ; use absolute coordinates
M83 ; extruder relative mode
M104 S170 ; set extruder temp for bed leveling >>>>> this is the initial extruder temperature
M140 S[first_layer_bed_temperature] ; set bed temp
M109 R170 ; wait for bed leveling temp
M190 S[first_layer_bed_temperature] ; wait for bed temp
G28 ; home all without mesh bed level
G29 ; mesh bed leveling
M104 S[first_layer_temperature] ; set extruder temp >>>>>> this is the final extruder temperature that is invoked after Mesh Bed Levelling
G92 E0.0
G1 Y-2.0 X179 F2400
G1 Z3 F720
M109 S[first_layer_temperature] ; wait for extruder temp
; intro line
G1 X170 F1000
G1 Z0.2 F720
G1 X110.0 E8.0 F900
G1 X40.0 E10.0 F700
G92 E0.0
M221 S95 ; set flow >>>>>> just for interest this the command that reduces the Flow rate to reduce over extrusion

If you drop the configuration menu, there is a configuration wizard menu,
inside that you can select which printers you want to appear in the slicer setup.
I have Mini, Mk3S, Mk3S MMUv2, Mk2S and Mk2MMuV1 as well as SLI selected.
this allows me to choose which printer type I set the printers to...
If I choose Mini, I get the Mini Startup G code.
If I choose the Mk3S, I get the Mk3S start up code.
I don't own a Mini, but it is useful to have the profile loaded so I can try and help with Mini queries, and queries like this one.
hope this helps, Regards Joan
