Preheat resin on Form 4

Does anyone have a method to trigger preheating the resin on a Form 4? I would like to be able to trigger it when I start preparing my print file so the resin is already at temperature when I hit print.

Waiting for the resin to heat up is adding 20-30 minutes to my print times, which since most of my prints are around 1 hour is a significant increase.

I know there are feature requests for this going back years, I’m looking for workarounds that people have discovered. I’m wondering if it’s possible to make a blank print file for example that when printed will heat the resin but not adhere anything to the bed. Or maybe there is a mechanical intervention that triggers it like taking the resin tank in and out.

Settings > Configuration > Resin preheating

Off by default but when activated resin will heat when opening and closing the lid; reinserting the resin tank or uploading a job (including dummy jobs) from Preform.
