Some of those printers don't have heated beds. Cura will put a "wait for bed heating" command into the gcode file and the printer interprets it as "wait forever" because there is no bed to heat.
You can open one of the Cura gcode files in a text editor like Windows Notepad. Down a few lines you might see a line like this:
M190 S60
Then open one of the canned gcode files that came with the printer and see if there is an M190 line.
That's the bed temperature line and M190 means "don't do anything until the temperature is reached". With no bed heater it waits forever. If that's the problem then it can be adjusted in Cura by loading the "Printer Settings" plugin from the Marketplace and disabling the "Wait for Build Plate Heat Up" setting. Cura will use an M140 instead of the M190 and that should work. You could then set the bed temperature to 0.

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!
