#Any way to force the Centauri Carbon to heat the chamber before printing inside of Orca Slicer?

I am experiencing low adhesion when printing PLA, but I suspect that it's due to the ambient temperature in the room being below 20C. Adhesion improves drastically after running for a while, where I see the chamber temperature hovers over 25C. Additionally, I have manually warmed up the chamber by heating up the build plate prior to printing, which also fixes my adhesion issue. I enabled the Chamber Temperature setting it in the filament settings for my filament as shown in the image, but this appeared to have no effect.
Is there any way I can force it to do what I'm doing manually? (setting the bed to a high temp, waiting for the chamber to reach around 25C, and then printing?)
And is this a reasonable way to solve my problems or am I masking another problem?
Thank you!

It sounds like you are successfully identifying the issue with low adhesion due to a low ambient temperature. Manually pre-heating the build plate is a good approach to improve adhesion. However, it's important to note that simply setting the chamber temperature in the filament settings may not be sufficient to address the issue, as the printer may not actively regulate the chamber temperature during the print.

To automate the process of pre-heating the chamber before printing, you can look into using a plugin or custom G-code scripts with your slicer software. These tools can be used to add commands to pre-heat the chamber before the print starts. This way, you can ensure that the chamber temperature reaches the desired level before the print begins, improving adhesion.

While pre-heating the build plate and waiting for the chamber to reach around 25C are effective solutions for your adhesion issues, it's worth noting that consistent adhesion can also be influenced by factors like...

if so you can likely write a macro, otherwhise you'll need to manually preheat iirc

Printer's fresh out the box, and I don't think klipper is installed

#

it's worth noting that it does tell me the printer's chamber temperature over the elegoo monitoring thing that I can access inside of orcaslicer

should probably be near the start, if not the first thing, depends on what order you want to do things

like you might want to start the bed along with the enclosure, but i dont know enough on enclosures offhand
