MatterSlice adds certain automatically generated code before and after your custom start G-Code. This normally where your temperature settings would be applied. MatterSlice will wait for the bed to warm up first. Then begin warming the extruder, run your custom start G-Code, then wait for the extruder to finish heating.
+
 
+
If MatterSlice detects that you have any extruder heating commands (<code>M104</code>, <code>M109</code>) in your custom start G-Code, it will remove these from the automatic G-Code. Likewise for bed heating commands (<code>M140</code>, <code>M190</code>).
+
 
+
Here are some examples of the automatic G-Code:
+
 
+
Before:
+
 
+
    ; automatic settings before start_gcode 
+
    G21 ; set units to millimeters 
+
    M107 ; fan off 
+
    M190 S95 ; wait for bed temperature to be reached 
+
    M104 T0 S210 ; start heating extruder 1 
+
    T0 ; set the active extruder to 0
+
 
+
After:
+
 
+
    ; automatic settings after start_gcode
+
    M109 T0 S210 ; wait for extruder 1 to reach temperature
+
    T0 ; set the active extruder to 0
+
    G90 ; use absolute coordinates
+
    G92 E0 ; reset the expected extruder position
+
    M82 ; use absolute distance for extrusion
+
 
+
== Variables ==
+
 
+
MatterSlice allows you to place certain tokens in your custom GCode that will automatically be replaced with the appropriate values. Here is an example:
+
 
+
<code>M109 S[temperature]</code>
+
 
+
In this line, <code>[temperature]</code> will be replaced with the extruder temperature defined in your slice settings. These tokens can be enclosed in either square brackets <code>[]</code> or curly brackets <code>{}</code>, but for compatibility with other slicers we recommend square brackets.
+
 
+
Here is the list of currently available tokens:
+
 
+
::<tt>temperature</tt><br>
+
::<tt>bed_temperature</tt><br>
+
::<tt>bed_remove_part_temperature</tt><br>
+
::<tt>extruder_wipe_temperature</tt><br>
+
::<tt>z_offset</tt><br>
+
::<tt>retract_length</tt><br>
+
::<tt>filament_diameter</tt><br>
+
::<tt>first_layer_speed</tt><br>
+
::<tt>infill_speed</tt><br>

::<tt>max_fan_speed</tt><br>

::<tt>min_fan_speed</tt><br>
