Custom G-code after extruder hit temperature possible?

I'm running Slicer 1.0.0RC, I was wondering if there's any way have a short section of custom G-code such that it's run after the extruder has reached target temperature? I tried putting it into the start G-code box but that seems to run after the bed has hit temp but before the extruder is brought up to temperature.

OK, I figured out how to do that...

Insert a

M109 S[first_layer_temperature]

into the startup G-code box and what I want to happen after heat is reached after that

Now for the next question..........
Is there any way to combine the

G1 Z0.300 F9000.000
G1 X85.050 Y85.230 F9000.000

that Slic3r starts with on first layer into a single command, so it moves all 3 axis at once?

Edit the gcode file and combine the two lines, Slic3r does not do this.:
G1 X85.050 Y85.230 Z0.300 F9000.000

OK thanks, I was hoping there was some setting that would do this automatically but if editing the G-code is the only way I guess that's the answer sad smiley

Edit : A thought... Could a suitable routine entered in the "post processing script" be used to combine those two lines after Slic3r has done it's work?

You could always add the above codeline into customs start code as a virtual start point.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll look into that, do a few tests, see if it can get the head moving the way I want to smiling smiley
