Topic: How to make extruder turn off heat after print

Just got my SD2... Works great! (For now?). Very pleased with it, nothing damaged in the 3,000 mile transit.

Anyway, I want to do some longer overnight prints but I have heard that idling your extruder at 200C will increase probability of clogs. Is there a way to make the extruder turn off after it finishes a print?

Thanks!
