Yes! I did find the machine settings and will continue with learning the software.
Thank you for your help.
-
Thank you for the gcode Mari.
I can see the difference in the gcode, telling it to heat up both and wait.

Got it Gr5. (Thanks for your help on this!)
Everything's good to go! I removed M105 and it didn't make any difference but it was my unknowing that once the bed was heated the extruder would heat, so my original question has been resolved.
Do you have anything else before editing the machine settings in Cura?

Ok, I'm used to having the extruder and bed heating at the same time but with Cura, the bed heats first and then the extruder. Can Cura heat both at the same time?
What issues with the machine settings are you referring too?

I'm using Ultimaker Cura 4.6.1 with a Creality Ender 3 v.2.
When I set any nozzle temp in Cura, the printer is not being set when I run the print, the temp has to be set manually. When I create the gcode in PrusaSlicer it works fine. I can see the gcode telling the printer what to do:
M140 S60
M105
M190 S60
M104 S200
M105
M109 S200However, the printer will start unless I manually set the temp on the printer. Oddly there's no issue with bed temp.
Any input would be appreciated.
Regards,
Kevin
Cura settings to cover gaps in top layer
in UltiMaker Cura
Posted
What settings in Cura can adjust to tell it to cover the small gap in the top layer? There are 3 other areas similar to this on the part but they are filled in properly, the rest of the print is good.
3 Top Layers
1 Top Surface Skin Layer
0.6 mm Nozzle
0.32 mm Layer Height
0.55 mm Line Width (For All Line Widths)
40 mm/s for Top/Bottom Speed
30 mm/s for Top Surface Skin Speed
