This is not a delay, it's the firmware - so unless you want to physically write new code, that's the way it is. Your Hotbed heats up until it gets to 1-2 degrees below set temp, then the nozzles start up. Exactly why, I don't know... it could simply be down to processing power - they are just an arduino mega really.
Yes, it's annoying waiting for the nozzles so you know what you do?
That annoying few seconds when it does its homing axes before a print (the one that moves it to the corner while it compiles the job) this stops the preheat and you lose time and then you have to wait for it to heat up again)
Set your preheats a few degrees higher, so if your bed needs to be 110, set the preheat to 112c, and if the nozzles are 230c for example, set them to 234c. So, when the homing axes crap happens before a print, the small cooldown that it does to .. by the time the job verifies and prints, the cooldown is actually at the printing temp, or thereabouts so you have less waiting.
Please explain to me how to...
