Preheat extruder slow to start

Is there anyway to change the setting for pre heat the Bed & Extruder?

When I load a program to print, the bed starts to heat and it takes 13 minutes for the Extruder to start heating. Is there any adjustment to lower the wait time for the extruder to start heating?

I am using a Makergear M2 with ABS.

Re: PRE HEAT EXTRUDER SLOW TO START

You could uncheck the option to wait for the bed controller to stabilize. This will tell your printer to heat the bed, then it will also tell the extruder to heat up and wait for the hotend to be at temperture. Hotends typically heat faster than beds, as you've clearly witnessed, so you may actually end up with a bed around 50-60 C instead of 70+. If you're fine with that possibility, uncheck the box.
