Bed heating stops when paused by filament runout sensor My CR-10 S5 has a feature, that stops the print, when the filament runs out.
However, when the printer pauses, the bed cools down and the print plops if the bed. Is there a way to tell the printer to keep the bed heated, when paused (by the runout detector)?
There is no easy way to keep the bed heated during pause
Looking at the sourcecode, I am pretty sure that the current version (10/29/2019) keeps the heated bed at the right temperature.
Features are built into the firmware. You need an Arduino and some wires to write new firmware to the built-in SOC. Adjusting the code should be as simple as commenting a single line.
That is some serious shortcoming of the CR-10 S5! I can't imagine a reason why not to leave the heated bed on.
The command that keeps the heated bed at temperature is in Marlin_main.cpp:5664:
