I understand that the thermistors register voltage to give temperature readings to the electronics. I understand that if the temperatures for extrusion or bed temps changed dynamically during a print why this would be advantageous. Since the temperatures are supposed to be static, wouldn't a better idea just to have a manual temperature control (calibrated with certain notches for certain temperatures, like an oven) that controlled the temperature with a knob on the front of the printer work just as well and eliminate a little complexity? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,119612,119612#msg-119612 Wed, 11 Mar 2026 03:08:27 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,119612,119756#msg-119756 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,119612,119756#msg-119756
For this i have to remove all G-codes controlling the temps.

For changing the temperatures during print I can insert a pause-G-code, so the print stops and waits until I hit the continue-button ... this is usefull not only for manually changing the temps, but even more for aftercuring and layer-treatment by per-layer-prints with UV- and IR-curing pastes and powderbed-SLS.

But I have to manually change the G-codes of the common slicers or write my own slicer+host ...]]> VDX General Sun, 19 Feb 2012 16:47:10 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,119612,119629#msg-119629 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,119612,119629#msg-119629
I use different temperatures on the first layer, for both the bed and the plastic, so manual control would not be practical.]]> nophead General Sun, 19 Feb 2012 03:46:16 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,119612,119614#msg-119614 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,119612,119614#msg-119614 Mkouri General Sat, 18 Feb 2012 23:25:48 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,119612,119612#msg-119612 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,119612,119612#msg-119612 vulcanrd General Sat, 18 Feb 2012 23:13:58 -0500
