Cura adds heating commands before my start code which contains other heating command

Posted · Cura adds heating commands before my start code which contains other heating command

Is this a bug?

My Start code in Cura contains the following
M104 S180 ; sets hotend temperature for bed leveling (warm but not dripping)
M140 S60  ; sets bed temperature layer_0 for your material
M109 R180 ; sets hotend temperature for bed leveling and wait until temperature reached
M190 S60 
Despite that Cura is adding in the generated gcode other commands for heating
M140 S60
M105
M190 S60
M104 S210
M105
M109 S210

I don't understand why it is doing this. It defeats the purpose of having a start code and it does not give the control to the user.
Why is that?

    You should use replacement patterns with curly brackets like so:

    M104 S{material_print_temperature_layer_0} ; sets hotend temperature for bed leveling (warm but not dripping)
    M140 S{material_bed_temperature_layer_0}  ; sets bed temperature layer_0 for your material
    M109 R{material_print_temperature_layer_0} ; sets hotend temperature for bed leveling and wait until temperature reached
    M190 S{material_bed_temperature_layer_0} 

     

    Cura looks for those replacement patterns (ie: the text + the curly brackets). If your start gcode includes those, Cura will not add its own preheat sequence.

        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
