This is really easy to do, and now you don't need to think to get better results.

You're not along if you're having trouble getting a good first layer on your K1 or K1 Max printer. With the Max, we found out that with such a fast heating cycle, and the larger and thin bed we're getting a lot of warpage, but we also found that the warpage didn't stop right away, the bed changed shape and then began to change back. Most of the settling back happened within 10 minutes but it continued for as long as 20 minutes.

In this video I wanted to show you a way to pre-heat automatically so that you don't need to think about it.

**Special note: The Max takes only 5 minutes to reach 100C, it's far faster than most other printers, adding a bit of time back to this heating cycle is a good idea and will give you the best results with the thickness of aluminum plate we're dealing with.

Here is the info you need to copy and paste (Starting with M190 of course) These are all for 9 minutes, I will work towards a follow up video to set a variable time... I don't know how to do this yet.

***WE HAVE AN UPDATE (Originals are first, we also have auto-time adjust below)
Thanks to @stew675 for this very elegant solution
