A1 printer tests before printing question\

I have a Bambu LAB A1 printer, and it used to go through a bunch of preparation steps before printing a gcode file (like bed levellng, calibrate extruder flow, clean print head, etc.) and now it doesn’t even though I select bed leveling before starting the print and lately it jumps right into printing. This is not a problem, I’m just curious if I am doing something different or if this is an option that needs to be set in the Bambu LAB Studio.

Thanks in advance

I believe (and anyone can correct me if I’m wrong) that if the first bed levelling touch gives back the same reading as last time then it does not do the entire cycle. Only if it measures a difference in reading does it then start the mesh?

Almost correct, the A1 series does 4 touches on the corners and checks if they are in line with the last bed level. If it isn’t, it does the medium detailed test. (The A1 (not mini) does a super fine grid test when performing machine calibration.)
