Why does the printer wait so long to let the hotend cool down before warming up again???
Hello,
With PrusaSlicer the hotend warms up first then spends a lot of time to cool down to 70°C before warming up again. Why? Is it useful?

As to why, I couldn't present to guess the programmer's intention. But the solution is this: the 70 degree temperature is the idle temperature. Simply go to Filaments>Temperature and change the idle temperature to a more reasonable number such as 150 or 160. Then the wait is not as long. You can adjust the temperature to account for oozing from the nozzle.
