I agree. It’s really irritating. I’d love to be able to turn it off.
I noticed it has gotten a bit better because there seem to be more places to mark the bed as clean now. Yet, I can’t help but wonder if the effort that was needed to implement that couldn’t have been spent on creating a checkbox to turn this behavior off for good for those of us who don’t need it (or don’t care for it).
The Octoprint Plugin already has a way to disable this in its latest version and we’re expecting a new version of the AstroBox (v 0.21) to be released in the Beta channel which will include a way to disable it.
@Rainer_Fuchs, nothing is ever as easy as “creating a checkbox” 
I know too well!
And glad to see you’re tackling it.
Its nice to see that this has been addressed. However the latest version of the plugin was released 11 days ago according to GitHub, and there is no mention of this in the release notes or in the pull request that was merged. Would it be possible in the future to actually include information in the release notes? That is usually where developers will put useful information such as bug-fixes and new features.
I’ve also had multiple times I think I started a print, only to come back an hour later and see it is waiting for me to click “bed is clear”.
Additionally the fact that the button to clear the bed doesn’t show up until after I’ve submitted a job means I can’t preemptively mark the bed as clear ahead of time, or after each job finishes.
You can find release 0.21(1) in the Beta release channel

Great! Installed the new release right away.
Life is good again!
Apart from the fact that the thermistor on my Mk3S broke and I had to order a new one, but I guess I can’t blame Astroprint for that …
What have i missed,
I’v updated to the latest Beta FW and i see no option to disable the Clear bed option,
Iv rebooted and rebooted
Every time i try to print is say make sure it clear i hit the clear button but the printer disconnects !!! ahhhhh
The option is in the printer profile section. Do you see it there?

Wonder why my Prusas do not have the option to turn this feature off in Settings, Profile. I too find this a right pain. In 6 years + using Astroprint I have never once forgotten to prepare the bed so I find this feature completely useless. I’m not a noob.
?? I see it for both my Prusa Mk3S and my Prusa Mini profiles. Did you update your Astrobox(es) recently? It came with one of the recent updates.
Yep, both fully up to date. Very odd. I will try and force another update.
I’m using the TouchUI builds. I wonder if that is requiring a further update to expose that setting option.
Ive just installed the beta version 0.21 and it now shows. Awesome, thanks Daniel.
thank you, i hate this feature.

Would be great to roll this out in an official release… don’t really want to go load beta versions on all my boxes.

Please make it optional. It just makes the experience worse for me.
