Feature Request: Don't heat the bed when using the autoload/unload filament menu #2295

Description

@Josh3D

The current way of changing filaments is:

  • Select autoload/unload filament menu

  • The printer will then ask you to select a material that you are either loading or unloading

  • The printer then will preheat the Hotend AND heat bed to those temperatures

I propose the following when selecting the autoload/unload menu, and the temperature selection pops up that it only will heat the Hotend and NOT the heat bed.

Some benefits of this are:

  • Not accidentally burning yourself on the heat bed when you touch it changing filament or taking off the purged plastic that has dropped down on the bed

  • After removing the filament you had in your printer previously, loaded in the filament for your next print, the bed would then still be room temperature so you can wipe it down with IPA effectively and then be able to start your next print right away.
