Hi All,
I am running a cold plate on my printer which suggests the build plate temp should be around 35 degrees. When the printer is doing the calibration or pre-print routines, it heats the bed up to 50 degrees before waiting to print when it hits 35 again. Is there a way to disable this as I am sure that it is majorly impacting my first layer due to the heat on the plate and how reliable the bed levelling is?
Hi! I didn’t try manipulating pre-heating but it should be hidden in the Machine G-code settings:
Please check if you have set good temperature in the filament settings also:
Printer can pre-heat the bed to check if the heating module works properly. I hope it will give a clue for you. I am not a gcode specialist, but as I searched it can be M140 command in my example - you can set your own temperature after the command. More information that I found in the Google:
And here you have also similar question from UltiMaker forum Build Plate Temperature Initial Layer is ignored · Issue #17233 · Ultimaker/Cura
Let me know if it works for you

So sorry I didn’t see this sooner.
No it didn’t sort it! I think I’ve seen online I need to root the machine but I’m very hesitant to do so just incase I mess it up. The bed temp is completely fine throughout printing, it’s just the pre-print process and calibration. I wish it would remember I’ve got a cold plate on and not heat it as I’m sure that the reason for the first layer not adhering properly.
