Generic Machine not setting extruder temperature

Anonymous
Not applicable

I am trying to set up Netfabb with a generic machine definition.  However, when I generate the gcode, it heats up the bed, but not the extruders.

I've checked the Print Settings > Extruder tab, and the temperatures are all set correctly.

If I use a built-in printer definition, it heats up the extruder.

Am I missing something?

I know I could set some Start gcode, but I can't seem to find any reference to gcode variables.  (Since the temperature is set in the GUI, I don't want to hard code it into the gcode.  An example from Cura is:

{material_print_temperature_layer_0}

where Cura parses this while slicing.  Does this functionality exist in Netfabb?

Here's the code it starts with.  You can see that there is no M104 command to set the extruder temperature:

Hello, @Anonymous, 

 

Welcome to the Netfabb forum!

 

Unfortunately, the dual extruder support is incomplete at this time and I cannot recommend using it. I recommend using only the single extruder machine and to always check the generated code.

By all means, though, feel free to add the necessary custom g-code in the G-code tab of the print settings.

 

Kind regards,

Steffen
