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!

    Thanks, this is my start gcode, which is unchanged between 4.12 and 5.6:

    M140 S{material_bed_temperature, initial_extruder_nr} T0 ; set bed temperature
M134 T0 ; stabilize bed temperature
M104 S{material_print_temperature_layer_0, initial_extruder_nr} T{initial_extruder_nr} ; set left or right extruder temperature
M133 T{initial_extruder_nr} ; stabilize left or right extruder temperature

    How up-to-date is the file on fieldofview? There doesn’t seem to be any deprecated variables…
