Simplify3D start print immediately, no preheat
Hi all, been searching on this but nothing yet.
I ran my first print via USB and S3D and it started to print right away and not wait for preheat.
Any thoughts?
Re: Simplify3D start print immediately, no preheat
On the Temperature tab make sure you have "Wait for temperature to stabilize before beginning build" checked.
In my own Scripts tab I have these lines added:
M115 U3.0.8 ; tell the printer latest firmware varsion available
M92 E172.8 ; Set extruder steps per mm
; M301 P20.05 I1.34 D75.15 ; Set PID parameters for booted hotend
M104 S[extruder0_temperature] T0 ; this will take the layer 1 temperature for extruder 0
M140 S[bed1_temperature] ; this will take the layer 1 temperature for bed 0
M190 S[bed1_temperature] ; this will take the layer 1 temperature for bed 0
M109 S[extruder0_temperature] T0 ; this will take the layer 1 temperature for extruder 0
G28 W ; home all without mesh bed level
G80 ; mesh bed leveling
G1 Y-3.0 F1000.0 ; go outside printing area
G1 X60.0 E9.0 F1000.0 ; intro line
G1 X100.0 E12.5 F1000.0 ; intro line
DO NOT include the M301 line unless you have gone through the PID tuning and have your own numbers!
Also, I probably should update the M115 to 3.0.9 but I'm not quite ready for that yet.

I did have those checked. I got it to work, well at least once now, we'll see how it goes. I think I had read somewhere about this but what I did that seemed to work is to remove the FFF I added to S3D from Prusa then add the i3 profile that is in S3D then add the Prusa FFF back in.
Thanks for the suggestions.

Look on the support front page and download the lastest Simplyfy3d profile from Prusa Research the RC4 fff file And then import as an fff file in Simplyfy3d . That will get you started on the right track. Save files to an SD card and print from that directly inserted into the printer and not from a computer. Select the profile from the drop down menu for the Prusa I3 Mk2 RC4 profile and start printing with Simplyfy3d. I use Simplyfy3d across my six different 3D printers, I just change the process file as needed. It is the best slicer out there.

Anybody know the purpose of telling my printer what the latest firmware is? Does it really care?

That is what I am using. Like I said I did figure it out, at least it has started working. I uninstalled the RC4 FFF profile then added the default MK2 profile from S3D then imported the RC4 FFF again and now it is going ok.
Someone mentioned elsewhere that this process worked for them on resolving this issue and it seems to have worked for me also.
I seems I remember a note on the RC4 FFF that it was a work in progress. So maybe there is something in loading the S3D supplied one that helps. Anyway it seems to.
