Slic3r temperature settings
July 28, 2015 04:50AM
Hi All,

I am trying to tweak my Slic3r settings, and have this in the Start G-code:
G21 ; set units to millimeters
G90 ; use absolute coordinates
M83 ; use relative distances for extrusion
M140 S[first_layer_bed_temperature] ; Set bed temperature
G1 Z5 F200 ; lift nozzle
G1 X2 Y50 F2000 ; Go to wait for warm position
M116 ; Wait for all temperatures
M104 S[first_layer_temperature] ; set temperature (fake for Slic3r)
G10 P0 S[first_layer_temperature] R160 ; Set tool 0 operating and standby temperatures
T0 ; Select extruder 0
M116 ; Wait for all temperatures

Originally I didn't have the M104, but Slic3r would then insert its own before my custom start G-code.

But it seems more right to use G10 (which Slic3r aparently does not know). What is the best way to have the temperatures set? I would like to have it with the filament settings, so my start G-code is generic. However, the possibilities with Slic3r seems somewhat limited. What about setting temperatures on layer change?

Currently I have only one nozzle, and I am using FW 1.09c-dc42.

Why is G10 better then M104? Just wondering

Because G10 doesn't care which tool is selected, it always sets the temperature(s) properly.
