Hi folks,

I’ve used Cura as my main slicer with my Flashforge Creator Pro for several years with no major issues. It was a while since I had upgraded (4.12) and I decided to try out the latest version (5.6).

My printer and slicing profiles seemed to transfer over automatically, but when I tried to slice and print, I encountered a strange issue: It no longer heats the extruders or the bed.

It just starts “printing” immediately with stone-cold extruders and bed. The temperature settings in my slicing profiles seem unchanged from 4.12, so I’m a bit at a loss as to what is happening.

I can verify that this is not a hardware issue with the printer, as I can run print jobs generated in Cura 4.12, and the heaters work just fine.

Anyone else encounter this or a similar issue? Any known fixes or recommended troubleshooting advice?

Thanks in advance!

    The gcode command should be either

    m104 e0 160

    Sets the first extrider to 160, doesn’t wait

    Or
    M109 e0 190

    sets the first extruder to 190, waits to reach temp before moving on,

    I would consider checking with a usb connection and setting the hot end temp manually that way, if that works, it’s something in the gcode, and you can pull up a gcode reader (or text file,) and search for them.
