Build plate cools down when print starts on Ultimaker 2+

· Build plate cools down when print starts on Ultimaker 2+
Are you using tinkermarlin? It has a power budget feature which may be turning off your build plate.
More likely you have a loose wire such that when the bed is down it's fine and when the bed is up the heater isn't making contact. You can test this by sliding the bed up and down manually.
Usually, the problem is right where the 2 larger wires connect to the heated bed. Either you need to loosen the screws, stick the wires in again and retighten or slightly more likely - you need to reflow the solder that connects the terminals to the heated bed. Are you an electrical engineer or do you have a friend who is one? You could potentially ask your reseller for another heated bed if retightening the screws that hold the heater wires in doesn't help.
In the Cura 5.8 stable release, everyone can now tune their Z seams to look better than ever. Method series users get access to new material profiles, and the base Method model now has a printer profile, meaning the whole Method series is now supported in Cura!
We are happy to announce the next evolution in the UltiMaker 3D printer lineup: the UltiMaker Factor 4 industrial-grade 3D printer, designed to take manufacturing to new levels of efficiency and reliability. Factor 4 is an end-to-end 3D printing solution for light industrial applications
