Pre-heating. . .

To all fellow printers,

I'm trying to get Slic3r to run correctly for me to use with my Mendel, and I'm somewhat irritated that it uses that 30 seconds of waiting for the heat to be correct, even though I manually pre-heat through Pronterface.

Is there a good way to get rid of the pre-heating timer in the settings, or what would you recommend to get rid of it?

Thanks, in advance.

Sincerely,
RR

That is a setting in your firmware not slic3r, but you can set the temp in slic3r to 0 and it will leave out the M109's that cause it to wait.

If a delete the M109 at the beginning of my Gcodes, is that enough to stop it from waiting, even if I keep a set temp in slic3r settings?

You would have to delete the M109 and the S number after it but that is the same as turning off the temp in slic3r.

If you want to set the temp automatically and not have it wait you should look in your firmware config for #define TEMP_RESIDENCY_TIME 15 // (seconds) and lower it.

Or

Set the temp to 0 in slic3r and then add M104 S190 (or what ever temp you want) in the start gcode (M104 is set temp but do not wait)
