Nice! Some suggested small optimizations [discussed here](https://forum.snapmaker.com/t/better-start-gcode-to-mitigate-first-layer-clogs-all-metal-hotends/38802).

1. Start heating the bed (140) before homing, then wait (190) to save some seconds.
2. Better, preheat the bed to the target temp minus 5 degrees. _Then_ start heating the hotend(s) and bed to full target temperature and wait for all.

These might knock 1-2 minutes off the start time.
