Printer Does Not Start Printing when Using Simplify3D

kevintong116

It is fine when printing using the Repetier host.
But when I print using Simplify3D, after the heat bed/ extruder temperature reach the target (not even stablized), Simplify3D does not receive any feedback from the printer.
What's happening?

There is a config setting to fix this. I had this problem early on.

Go to the settings, then look in the "Temperature" tab. You need to check the setting "Wait for temperature controller to stabilize before beginning build"

I'm pretty sure this option is turned off by default. When turned off, the software will issue the heatup commands, and will start almost immediately before the printer has time to heat up. This is great time saver if you pre-heat your bed prior to starting the print job.

This is what happened. The bed temperature reaches 70 degree and stop sending feedback to simplify3d. But the printer is still kept stabilizing the temperature. After I stop the print, the feedback resume.
