Both bed and hotend heaters come back on after print is finished

AstroBox Troubleshooting
#1

I use Repetier-host/slic3r for all my slicing needs and I have customized the end code to ensure it sets the hotend and bed back to 0 degrees C after the print finishes. For some reason, after a print finishes Astroprint turns my heaters back on to 5 degrees C. I upload the G-code instead of the STL file so unless Astroprint is adding more lines this code this shouldn’t be happening. Has anyone ran into this issue, is there a setting somewhere doing this that I’m missing?

One other thing. When I used Astroprint to slice the model and print, it would use my webcam to take a picture of the completed model and send it in the completed print email. Ever since I started just uploading the g-code, I still get the email just without the picture. Is there a way to get Astroprint to send the picture again?

#2

What is the temp on the room? The point of setting it to5 is that it’s very likely be less than ambient temp which results in no heating applied.

Do they actually come back?

#3

For the picture to be taken, the timelapse feature has to be on.

#4

The ambient temp of the room at night will go as low as 20 degree C, so I see your point of it not actually running due to this. I still think it’s weird that after it finishes the g-code and is set to 0 degrees that it increases to 5, but I guess I can live with that if it’s not actually running.

#5

The AstroBox sets it to 5 in the stop sequence. Note that we don’t know that the file’s GCode already contains a set temp command so to be sure we set it again.

I think that some printers might have had a problem with the 0 and that’s why a low number was chosen instead. This limitation might no longer be true with modern firmwares but since the end result ( heaters off ) is the same, we haven’t changed it.
