    I am wanting to get a Fleks3d print bed set. What zcode setting do i need to turn off extruder heat before auto bed leveling. Then turn on heat extruder and start print after auto bed leveling.

    In many slicers if you put the heating gcode (M104 or M109 / M140 or M190) in your start up script (g-code) manually, it will disable the one that is inserted by the software automatically. This way you can specify that homing and any other command that needs to touch the bed can happen before either the hot end or bed are heated. Just make sure you include those commands after the G28 and G29 pair.
