  1. The role of preheating should be handled in the script alone, or if someone needs something to do, specific controls for it. I will try and explain why. I run a 400x400 MIC6 aluminum bed, with a 900w AC mat heater (no, I don't move my bed). It takes very little time for me to reach even 120C on my bed. Yet my v6 hot-end is slow to heat, as well as bed leveling even at 300mm/s. I prefer to heat the hot end after the bed leveling or preheat it to 160'ish at the start (PETG), and ramp to print temp after homing, just before bed leveling. This is my optimal setup. The hot end will reach around 220 just after the bed leveling, with a small dwell time before the print starts at 240. This gives me about a 5mm stringer, that I can easily swipe in a routine. If I have the hot end up to temp before homing and bed leveling, I am left with a frustrating mess. That stuff sticks to everything. Just my 2 cents.
