Now I just deal with the 10 minute heat up by turning the printer on and start the bed heating before I set up Repetier Host and slice the files.  And I leave the bed heater on if I plan on doing multiple prints. You can set that up in Repeter's "Printer Settings".

I saw that some people said taht they used a heat gun to heat up the bed a little bit faster, so I was just wondering what temperature you should use on the heat gun when heating the bed.

Thanks
