Got my 1st 3D printer, an Ender 5 Pro, 2 days ago. Lots of interesting problems and issues, along with a ton of learning since then.
My current issue is how to print the SmartTemperatureTower_PLA_180-225. I loaded the STL into Creality Slicer 1.2.3, then saved the gcode. As a check, I opened the gcode file in Notepad++. I looked for M104 and M109 commands, looking to see that the file would cause the temp to change at each new object layer. It didn't.
I obviously don't want to try printing until I know the temperature is going the change as it supposed to.
Is this an issue that I should be using genuine Cura, or some other more advanced slicing software? Is it something else? I've been in high tech for many decades, but I'm a new born babe when it comes to hands-on 3D printing, so any help would be appreciated.
