I’m interested to see the responses that people post regarding this question.

But from what i’ve seen i don’t think there really is. You can manually edit your g-code to remove the bed leveling if you want (but i would make sure to still home it every time). I’ve played around with trying that on few that i was impatient to wait for the bed leveling sequence on my mini when i was testing things. But there have been a few times the distance has changed by a few millimeters, enough that when the print starts it is suddenly slightly too close or slightly too far away from the bed that the first layer does not stick or even extrude. In those cases i’ve had to cancel the print and try again, so in all honesty the bed leveling sequence is probably more helpful than it may first appear. You could experiment with changing the speed that it homes at if you so wish though in an attempt to speed it up (something i have also tried). But again that’s all up to how much risk your willing to do and live with. If something goes wrong suddenly your printer is moving at a much faster speed than before.

I want to say that the probing itself can be reduced from the “fast touch and the slow touch” routine by changing the G29 command to G30 which should only touch it once instead, but i’m not sure. If that is true and works that is another potential way to speed up your bed probing.

Here are a few topics that were created around the same question, but for the mini. I think there are more, but these are the first two i found.

> I am printing multiple parts in multiple print runs consecutively on the Mini with default firmware. I am running S3D but have the start and end gcode generated from Cura included. Can the auto-bed leveling check be skipped after the first print since nothing is changing between setup/prints? The machine is not power cycled or disturbed between print runs so I would think the Z-height would be correct upon restart.

> I love that the Mini comes with self leveling built in, its a great feature, in the scheme of a large print this function doesn’t take much time, But for smaller parts/less precise parts, Is it possible to skip the self leveling by using the terminal to input the last offsets? any ideas? thanks i know we can delete/change the start g code to skip the leveling, but then it prints like 3mm in the air For reference i’m using cura on a windows machine.
