I don't have an ultimaker printer, but I use Cura to print with. I had to attach an acrylic base plate to my printer because the original got trashed on the first print. My problem is that the acrylic is melting. I need to be able to raise the head, heat it, then put the head down and start printing. I tried writing some G-Code to do this. When I click the print button, the printer heats, on the print bed, then raises, then stops, and does not continue.

Hello,
I don't have an ultimaker printer, but I use Cura to print with. I had to attach an acrylic base plate to my printer because the original got trashed on the first print. My problem is that the acrylic is melting. I need to be able to raise the head, heat it, then put the head down and start printing. I tried writing some G-Code to do this. When I click the print button, the printer heats, on the print bed, then raises, then stops, and does not continue.
