    Extruder not heating with Simplify3D

    I just purchased the Simplify3D application in hopes of getting high quality prints. I've been trying to print a simple batarang and I can't get the extruder temperature to go up. Every time I start a print, the bed temperature does go up as it should but the extruder doesn't. I checked the GCode and I do indeed have the extruder temperature set to 220 C

    See below for GCode:

    ; **** Replicator 1 dual start.gcode ****
    M73 P0 ; enable build progress
    G162 X Y F3000 ; home XY maximum
    G161 Z F1200 ; home Z minimum
    G92 Z-5 ; set Z to -5
    G1 Z0 ; move Z to 0
    G161 Z F100 ; home Z slowly
    M132 X Y Z A B ; recall home offsets
    M135 T0 ; load right extruder offsets
    G1 X150 Y-70 Z30 F9000 ; move to wait position right hand side of the table
    G130 X20 Y20 Z20 A20 B20 ; lower stepper Vrefs while heating
    M127
    M140 S110 T0
    M134 T0 ; stabilize bed temperature
    M104 S220 T0
    M133 T0 ; stabilize right extruder temperature
    G130 X127 Y127 Z40 A127 B127 ; default stepper Vrefs
    G92 A0 B0 ; zero extruders
    G1 Z0.4 ; position nozzle
    G1 X110 Y-70 E25 F300 ; purge nozzle
    G1 X120 Y-70 Z0.15 F1200 ; slow wipe
    G1 X110 Y-70 Z0.5 F1200 ; lift
    G92 A0 B0 ; zero extruders
    M73 P1 ;@body (notify GPX body has started)
    ; **** end of start.gcode ****

    The way you have it set up, you heat the bed all the way to 110 before you apply any heat to the nozzle because of that M134 T0 in there. This is required for some under powered bots. If you have a FlashForge with a 350W power supply, you can heat them both at the same time. So you can set the nozzle temperature before the wait:

    M140 S110 T0
    M104 S220 T0
    M134 T0
    M133 T0

    I would suggest going to help --> reset all settings, and then when you restart the software select the FF Creator Pro from the drop down list. This will make sure that you are using those same settings that you were when you first installed the software.

    For reference - my FF Creator Pro heats up just fine with the stock settings. Never had any issues with that.

    It was the stock startup script that came with Simplify3D when I installed it, I changed it as warkmal suggested and it works just fine

    I am having the same issue and I am sure it is in the code. I am accustom to CNC machines reading multiple lines to start functions. Did you change it in the startup script for the machine? And, did you put the codes on the same line together instead of one under another?

    Thank you,
