Is there a way to add some startup G-code that would warm the extruder, poop some filament, and then wipe the nozzle before it moves when starting a new print? The way it starts now it moves, warms, and wipes, which always flings the ooze from the previous print onto the build plate. I don’t always remember to clear the ooze when I remove a print, and my printer is in a detached garage so I’m not usually near it when I start a new print.

This is quite excessive oozing. Is your filament dry?
I believe so. I have a Sunlu dryer and I keep all of my filament stored in a sealed storage box with desicant. The offending ooze in the picture is black petg but it also happens to a lesser degree with pla. The filament prints flawlessly. It just oozes after the print has finished and the filament has re-wound back on the roll.
I’m going to try turning on the auxiliary fan the next time it happens to see if that will blow it out of the way.
It would definitely possible to modify the start gcode.
But it would require some analysis to figure out where to insert your required code.
