What? Make my fast printer SLOW? Why?

I recently made a video pitting the Creality K1 against the Bambu X1C in a high-speed torture test showdown. We tried to reach the highest speeds we could with each printer in their stock forms. We were able to get as high as 450mm/s which wasn't too bad. We also raised the inner and outer wall speeds. The results weren't perfect, they weren't terrible either. But it raised the question of whether a fast printer designed to be run at high speeds could produce better results if we slow it down, or would there be other issues that come up if we do?
In this video, we we through far more tests to see if we could get the answer to that question, we even created our own speed test model along with the torture tests.
I've used the same Creality Hyper PLA as the previous video and dried it again thoroughly.
I hope you found this video helpful and interesting!

![Let Your Creality K1 MAX and K1 Printers Soak for the Best First Layers
This is really easy to do, and now you dont need to think to get better results.

Youre not along if youre having trouble getting a good first layer on your K1 or K1 Max printer. With the Max, we found out that with such a fast heating cycle, and the larger and thin bed were getting a lot of warpage, but we also found that the warpage didnt stop right away, the bed changed shape and then began to change back. Most of the settling back happened within 10 minutes but it continued for as long as 20 minutes.
In this video I wanted to show you a way to pre-heat automatically so that you dont need to think about it.
**Special note: The Max takes only 5 minutes to reach 100C, its far faster than most other printers, adding a bit of time back to this heating cycle is a good idea and will give you the best results with the thickness of aluminum plate were dealing with.

Here is the info you need to copy and paste (Starting with M190 of course) These are all for 9 minutes, I will work towards a follow up video to set a variable time... I dont know how to do this yet.
***WE HAVE AN UPDATE (Originals are first, we also have auto-time adjust below)
Thanks to @stew675 for this very elegant solution
