Been googling on the subject of preheating. So far I have been using "Target" on the temperature tab. I see there is a "Preheat Button" plug-in. I am really new to Cura and 3D printing, so some of my assumptions may be way off. Looking at the code of the "Preheat Button" looks like it just plugs in the values into the current page. I was looking for something more intelligent. So when you click on print, if needed then the preheat process would start, and when finished, then the printing would start.
Can I do it with the "start gcode"? Can the gcode be smart enough to wait for a time? Can that time be variable or maybe just wait for a time once the temperature is reached?
