Slic3r don´t switch off hotbed after first layer

Hi!!

I don´t know if someone could help me! . I have a problem with Slic3r or I don´t know what to do.
I write the temperature of the PLA for the first layer and rest.
I write the temperature for Heatbed in the first layer: 60ºC and rest= 0ºC
But It doesn´t work. Yes, the heatbed works but continuosly without stopping after the first layer.
What I do wrong?

Thanks.

This is just a guess, but in other places slic3r uses zero to select a default value. Have you tried selecting 20C to turn the bed off instead of zero?

dc42 is right. Slic3r uses or use not temperature values with 0.

Often users want a special start gcode to setting up there heaters. In that case I and other users setting the first temperature to 0 in the config and manipulating the start gcode. So Slic3r don't make a M104 or similar to heat up at the beginning.

Same is when you don't want a new temperature for other layers.

Thank you DC42 and WURSTNASE,

You were right. I changed the value from 0 to 20ºC and it was turning the hotbed off. smiling smiley
