<p>When I run prints on my Creality CR-10S Pro 3D printer (using Ultimaker Cura as slicer), I set the heated bed to around 70&nbsp;&deg;C for PETG. after the first few layers, the heated bed set point changes to 0&nbsp;&deg;C. </p>

<p>Is it normal for a 3D printer to turn the heated bed off during a print, or is this a problem?</p>

<p>I have had some parts warping, and wonder if this is a potential cause.</p>
