Hello,

I am new to 3D printing and I was just wondering if there was a way to change the settings in Pronterface so that the heatbed won't start cooling immediately after printing.

Thanks

You can add some G-code (final tab in Sli3er) to make it stay hot. Look up what the G-code is, add it. That should do the trick. Or you could manually add it to your G-code file.

I don't know what slicer you're using, but it should allow you to add "end" G code which is code that is added to the end of the G Code file. There you can add code to turn it back on.

To be frank, I'm not sure it's a good idea. At least for me it wouldn't be. Many times I leave printers to finish unattended - especially if the job is going to take another 5 hours and it's time for bed. I'd hate to leave that bed on accidentally for the whole night.
