Sync Buildplate Type or at least check first

I have several X1Cs and different build plates. I don’t like getting the build plate mismatch warning message several minutes into a print process. This occurs because the printer has one type of physical build plate installed and Bambu Slicer defaults to a different build plate.

Wishes: (1) When the AMS filaments are synced the build plate type could optionally be synced. The print head would travel out to the QR code, scan it and update Bambu Slicer with the detected build plate.

(2) If Wish (1) isn’t supported, at least move the build plate detection to the beginning of the print sequence. Seems like the QR code scanning could happing in parallel to print head and/or build plate heating so that you would at least learn more quickly that there was a mismatch between the physical build plate in the X1C and Bambu Slicer.

I just got bit by this as well. The startup gcode does lots of stuff that is dependent on the build plate, long before it checks to see if it is even there.
