Changing bed temperature during print

Post by woody3dp »

Hi all,
I often print in ABS, I was used to put 105°c for the first layer (for a good bed adhesion) and then use 95°c for the other layers (to prevent the print from being deformed due to an excessive temperature coming from the bed)
I'm trying to do the same with Kisslicer (I noticed my print was deformed at its base). Is it possible to do that with Kisslicer ? Thank you for your answers.

Here is a workaround with 2 steps:

1 - Define a custom G-code token for the material, e.g. "<COOLBED>=[M140 S95]"
2 - Use that previous token either in:
  • Every N Layers with N = 1 or 2 or whatever (but then you can't use every N layers for other N values)
  • Cool Same Ext G-code (if you know the extruder will cool down for the second layer)
thanks,
Jonathan

Thank you for this quick answer. With all those tips and questions that find an answer in this forum, kisslicer will soon become essential and thereby my primary slicer... :D

That works perfectly, I used the Cool Same Extruder G-code :D
