Is there a plugin that can delay print start after preheat?

Hey Everyone,

Just wondering if there's a plugin that lets you delay the print start for a few seconds after the printer reaches target temperature. I’ve noticed sometimes my first layer gets affected if it starts printing too quickly right after heating.

Would be nice to have a 10 20 second pause before the print kicks off, just to stabilize things a bit.

Thanks in advance!

Professionals like https://www.concretesrichmondva.com/ helped me realize how small timing tweaks like short delays can make a big difference in results.

How about just add a G04 10000 after the command to heat the bed to to temp. This will wait 10 seconds 20000 would be 20 seconds.

No plugin needed. This could be done in the slicer.

I agree with Bubba, adding G4 command after the wait for temp would be the ideal way to handle this from the slicer directly. Their example is slightly off though. It would be G4 S20 for example to wait for 20 seconds.
