Disable all heaters when print is finished

Hi, I am asking this here before I make any suggestions on the Marlin github as my issue may already have been addressed and I am missing it.

I recently switched from using a host software (Repetier) to printing directly from SD card, last night I ran a very long print so I left it overnight, this morning the print was complete but I noticed that the heated bed was still hot. Looking at the GCode that Slic3r generated I saw that it only had the code to switch off the extruder and not the bed. I am ok with putting this into Slic3r but I would like the added failsafe within Marlin.

Is there any support already in Marlin to switch off all the heaters when the print is completed? I have looked through the various configuration header files but I cant see anything.

Thanks

Anthony


** I realise that I double posted this, earlier I posted it in the experimental firmware forum, I apologize for this, if the mods could remove it that would be great.

Not sure. Marlin only follows Gcode orders. It doesn't know that your print is finished.
It's the slicer Gcode that tells the heaters to switch off after a print.
Maybe marlin could have a timer added to shut off power after a period of inactivity. I don't think I'd want that myself.
Go to 'Custom G code' in the Printer settings tab in Slic3r.
There is the line there M104 S0 turn off temperature.
Just add the line; M140 S0 (in capitals)

That switches off the bed. You only need do it once. Slic3r remembers it.
