The issue isn’t the momentary pause at Z1.2, it is the speed F600 instead of F5400 (or max speed of config.h).
Instead of zipping down from Z275 to Z1.2 at speed F5400, it slowly moves down the center of the bed at speed F600. The extra 10 seconds or so also wouldn’t be too bad except the nozzle oozes filament on the way down (I have a priming extrusion as part of the start up). If the effector moves quickly to the first print location, the ooze becomes part of the brim. Also, I can easily “wipe its nose” on the way to the starting location. When the effector drops that slowly down the center, the ooze makes a puddle of filament in the very center of the bed where the print will be the entire way down, before it finally moves quickly to the first X,Y location.
