so i just started my first ASA print and from what i read the printer would go into a 30 minute heating mode to make sure the printer chamber is up to the needed temperature, but for some reason after 5 minutes it started the print with the chamber not even being at 40°C, did i do something wrong or miss a setting by chance?
I don’t think that outside of more expensive H2 printers which has active chamber heating, that any other Bambu printer has this feature, that it would wait till chamber is heated to the right temperature,

Only Bambu printers with a chamber heater (X1E, X2D, H2x) will automatically wait for the chamber to reach a preset temperature. In Studio, the option to use the chamber temperature to control printing will be grayed out for all others:
Like my X1C, the P2S has a chamber temperature sensor, so you can manually preheat the chamber with the heat bed and start the print when you see it has reached the desired temperature. (I usually get distracted while waiting and forget to start the print.)
I’ve been able to automate the process using OrcaSlicer and additional G-code from Makerworld. That combination might also work for the P2S.
OrcaSlicer does support using the chamber temp sensor. Activate it in the printer preset, add the G-code to the Machine start G-code, then set the preferred chamber temp in the filament presets. The G-code checks the chamber temp; if it is too low, it heats the bed, turns on the aux fan, and waits for the target temp to be reached before starting the print. If the preferred temp is over 30°C, the code waits an additional 15 minutes to heat soak the chamber. You can adjust the temperature thresholds and heat-soak time in the code.
