I searched but didn’t find what I was looking for. I am not a fan of the wipe, is it possible to remove it? I have had so many times that it doesn’t fully wipe it clean so when it goes to probe for auto cal it slams the nozzle into the disk and the print needs to be restarted. So I now baby sit the printer and manually wipe it anyways.

You can, it’s in the startup or shutdown Gcode section, you just remove that code.

Have you updated the firmware? There was an update a while ago that improved the wipe and cal procedure, it will redo if it gets bad reading then.
