Robox pre-print checks: help wanted

[pelgrim @pelgrim]

I would like to make a checklist I need to go through before each print, all goes straight to Roboxing wiki.
It doesn’t matter if it sounds silly or redundant, I just want it to be complete.

3: I ran these calibrations since I last changed my filament, same type of material: (list …)

5: Robox is powered on and recognised by AM ?

I would like to draw attention to this topic again:

I know you are doing this for noobs @Pelgrim, but there shouldn’t be any need to check anything before you start a new print (other than checking the beds clean). It sound overly complicated!
