print leveling and temperature

Hi,

 

I've finished to assemble my prusa mini, everything is working fine, but before each print it needs leveling and needs to reach a certain temperature before leveling. is it possible to level the bed while it's eating up for the print? or is there a reason for the temperature of the bed and nozzle to be at a certain temperature for leveling?

 

Thanks

Yes there are reasons.  Things expand as they warm up.  By heating the bed before levelling you get a more accurate and consistent result.  Same with the extruder.  However the extruder heats faster and you dont want filament leaking out during the levelling process.  So it heats to a lower temp where the filament doesnt leak first.  

Then it heats to final print temp just before it actually starts.
