Mainsail supports so-called presets. They are often used for preheat & cooldown, but also execute normal gcode.

## Setup
In Mainsails interface settings you will find a section called "Preheat Presets". There you can set your presets via "ADD PRESET" and the following dialog.
### Preheat
Enter a name \(e.g. name, color and type of filament\) and the temperatures obtained. You can disable individual heaters and even specify a custom gcode for the preheat phase.

### Further Examples
#### Z-Offset
To quickly switch between different Z-offsets \(flexplates with smooth and textured surfaces\), you can create presets and deactivate the heaters.
As G-Code you simply enter `SET_GCODE_OFFSET Z=0.2`, of course with your determined offset.
