Hello Orca Slicer Team,

First of all, thank you for the amazing work on this slicer. I am a Linux user (Ubuntu 24.04) and a 3D printing enthusiast who relies on Orca Slicer for my workflow.

I am writing to request a small but significant change regarding the Heated Bed temperature settings. Currently, the software seems to enforce a minimum of 1°C or prevents the field from being empty/zero in certain validation steps.

The Problem:

I own an Artillery Sidewinder X4 Plus with a defective heated bed. To keep printing, I have modified my Klipper printer.cfg to disable the heater and the sensor (setting sensor_type: None and max_power: 0.0).

When the slicer forces a "1°C" command (M190 S1), Klipper throws an error because the heater is technically disabled or out of range, stopping the print before it even starts.

Which printers will be beneficial to this feature?

All

Describe the solution you'd like

Please allow the "Bed Temperature" field to accept "0" as a valid value without triggering warnings or forcing it to 1°C. This would allow users with hardware failures or those using non-heated surfaces to generate G-code that doesn't attempt to trigger a disabled heater.

Current Workaround:
I am manually deleting the M190 lines from the Start G-code, but having native support for 0°C would be much more efficient for the community.

Thank you for your time and consideration!

Best regards,
Oscar
