Hello all.
Does anyone know how to set the build temperature to 120 without having to go into the gcode everytime you build? I'd like to keep the temperature at 120 deg. for all prints.
Thanks in advance!

Change the value in your start.gcode file.

thanks! I did a search for the start file, and it seems there are 69 different files named start.gcode on my machine.
How do you know which one to modify?

In ReplicatorG, go to the GCode -> Edit Slicing Profiles (via the menu).
In here, select the profile you are using then click the "Locate"
button. On my box this opens a window to that particular profile. From
there, go into the "alterations" directory, and edit the start.gcode
file there.
BUT, that's not all! :) There are a couple others that can be used at
different times - a different start.gcode is used if you are dual
extruding, for instance. Do a search of the group for "start.gcode" and
most of other locations are discussed at various times. For myself, I
just started looking through both the ReplicatorG directories for
start.gcode files and changing the ones that were reasonably applicable
to the Replicator. Then I did the same to the settings directory (under
Linux it's ~/.replicatorg ) This is probably overkill, and a bit of a
drag, but you learn your way around ReplicatorG much better as a result.

Shawn's method would probably work, but it's quite complex :)
should be in "installation directory\machines\replicator"
In my case I have it in:
"D:\My Stuff\ReplicatorG\replicatorg-0037\machines\replicator"
Dual_Head_start.gcode -> start code used for a Dual extruder (1 extruder active)
Dualstrusion_start.gcode -> start code used for doing a Dualstrusion
Single_Head_start.gcode -> start code used for a replicator with a single extruder
You'll see the extruder temp in there as well, but don't worry about that (unless you do not use Print-O-Matic)
