[ADDED] Allow startup scripts to control warmup

Slic3r and KISSlicer both have the ability to notice temp commands in the startup script and disable their own warmup processing when those exist.

Alternatively, change the warmup behavior of the app to allow both a heated bed and the extruder to warm up simultaneously, rather than waiting for the bed to have to be completely finished warming up before the extruder gets off the dime.

I typically use a script like this:

Code: Select all

M140 S<BED>	; Start bed heating but don't wait.
M109 S<TEMP>	; Wait for extruder heat to reach target
M190 S<BED>	; Now wait for bed heat to reach target if it hasn't already

Re: Feature request: Allow startup scripts to control warmup

Using the variables [extruder0_temperature] or [bed0_temperature] in your starting script will allow you to control the heatup process so that no automatic commands are added. Note that you replace 0 with the correct temperature controller identifier for your extruder (i.e. T0, T1 etc)
