Turn on the Heatbed complete XL / Turn on every Tile
Hi Folks!
How do I turn on the heatbed completely and not just for the area where the model is printing?
I'm having a hard time maintaining a good heated environment without an enclosure so I hope this helps.
I couldn't find an answer elsewher.
Happy Printing!
RE: Turn on the Heatbed complete XL / Turn on every Tile
You can trick the machine by printing a thin nothing on every tile, like a perimeter. I haven't seen a way to turn on the entire tile bed independently.
RE: Turn on the Heatbed complete XL / Turn on every Tile
There’s an option in the „Hardware“ submenu. Unfortunately you can only access it when your not printing.

i am hoping i am posting this in the right channel.
But douse anyone know if it is possible to switch on the entire bed heating as a setting coming from the file you send to the printer?
This would be very helpful when printing ASA for example.
I would really like to see this be a box in the filament settings.

Yes, you can send the bed temp GCode (M140) set to any temp you want, but the key is to do it BEFORE the "Set Print Area" GCode (M555). Then, the printer pre-heats the entire bed. This is the technique I use.
You should be familiar with editing GCode so you don't screw something up. If not sure, some web searching to learn should be your first stop.

Dear Nikhil,
Thank you for the tip. i tried to do so but if i use that setting before M555 it switches to a smaller area after heating.
I have been working on a code were it automaticaly sees when printing with ASA or ABS. and will then switch on the entire heat bed trough the entire print, including a higher resolution probing but i keep getting errors. do you have some more advice?
for some reason i am unable to add the txt files as media so see code below:
