Segmented bed heating
Is it possible to force this printer, using some G-CODE or menu setting, to heat the entire bed before and during printing and not just segments based on the model's location?
I have a boxed printer and when printing from ASA, I would like the entire plate to be heated to maintain the temperature in the box. If the printer only heats a few segments, heat retention in the box is not good.
I tried activating the "box heating" in the slicer and set the temperature in the box to 50°C. I assumed that the printer, even though it does not have active heating, would heat the entire bed, but this did not happen.
Thank you for the advice.

Printer LCD > Settings > Hardware > Heat Entire Bed. Tick it on.
There is start and end gcode in Printer Settings > Custom G-code in the slicer in regards to the starting absorb heat phase and turning off the heatbed at the end. So I assume you can modify those code blocks a little to achieve your goals.

BaconFase: Thank you, perfect 👍 . The menu is so extensive that I didn't notice this feature. 😊
