Is there a way to reduce startup time on the a1 mini?

everytime i start a new print the printer takes like 8 minutes, i dont really care about the auto bed leveling or the time that it takes to heat up but for some reason it flushes filament 2-3 times before printing and i dont think its needed because 1 flush will probably be enough and its also a waste of filament. also i use an ams and i dont know if that affects it

(timelapse is turned off i dont know why its still showing it)

Just turn bed leveling and dynamic flow calibration off on the menu before the print

@CoolUser123456 will try, but do you know why it flushes so much filament before printing? like even if its to switch from one color to another I still think it’s too much and it also takes some time

It’s for the dynamic flow calibration. I think they decided that more wasted filament is worth it for better print quality. When i first got my printer, it wasted a lot less, but when I updated it to 01.04.00.00 it started using more filament.
