Is there an existing issue for this feature request?

I have searched the existing issues

I would like to take the 3D prints out of the printers a bit sooner, I mean, I would like a setting to stop heating the bed before printing the last two layers so meanwhile it finishes printing, it starts cooling down... when it's finished printing it would be already half way to cool the plate, like instead finishing at 80C for petg, it finishes at 67C, so i can wait one minute less and optimize workflow without writing a python script.
This is good for impatient people like me who take out the prints while still being 80C and warping the prints cuz plastic it's still hotter than glass transition temperature

Which printers will be beneficial to this feature?

All

Describe the solution you'd like

Add an option into printer settings--> machine gcode --> stop heating bed before which layers
description:
you add an input field where you set a number, the number you set will be how many layers before the print end at which the printer stop heating the bed
like if lastlayer is 300, you subtract the number you set in the input field, like i set 2, and code does 300-2 and at layer 298 it adds the [stop heating bed function]
it's not complicated, it's a simple feature everyone could get benefict if used correctly

Describe alternatives you've considered
