Hi,
thanks for the Settings :)
i tried out Cura 4.0 with the Settings for Geeetech A30 from this download today.

In the Start-Code are the Lines
M109 S200;Heating nozzle
M190 S60;Heating bed

why?
Doesn`t it means, it allways heats the Nozzle to 200°C and the Heatbead to 60°C, ignoring my Settings in the Main Menue of Cura.
This is what happened now to me.
My Temperature-Settings get ignored and Geeetech is using the setting of the Start-Code.

(sorry for my english)

Hi,
You can try to delete these lines at the start code.
Then it will work.
When you set the temp at the start code then it won't add your cura temperature setting into the start code.
(I think the author add it for the newcomer then they don't need to take a look for the temperature setting)

@Tomyuan

but bad for beginners who may not start with PLA and don`t know the gcode very well. (Like me two weeks ago *g*)
You won't be happy if the printer ignore the temperature information from Cura until you find out that the start code has fixed settings for the Temperature *g*.

A30 and A30Pro printer are not in the list. I tried both with Cura 4.6.2 and 4.7.1
If I choose A30M and disable one extruder, the printer's display shows something like "gcode is impossible to open".
Note: I have an A30pro, I would prefer to find the A30pro in the list.

Thank you

Hello

Dont look for Geetech! Look for Shenzhen Getech Technology, there you will find the A30...
