[Request] Additional overlays

[cengelbracht]

If this is a feature request describe it here

Please add Infill, layer height, hot end temperature, and bed temp overlay options. Maybe using the parsed custom gcode script thing or something. Thanks :)

It would be useful to see these settings in the video when prints fail and when they come out great.

Please consider becoming a patron

If you like this project, please support my work by becoming a patron, and consider adding a 'star' to the repository. It takes a lot of time and effort to maintain the project and respond to issues. The cost of test prints, software, cameras, printer parts, etc. can quickly add up, so every bit helps.

Thank you for the suggestion. I will leave this open and will update the ticket if/when this gets added.

FYI, these values are somewhat harder to implement than the existing replacement tokens, but I think it is possible.

[cengelbracht]

Thanks, fantastic tool, nice work. Could you have the user have it added to the gcode via that script (example below), have the slicer populate it, and octolapse parse it? Maybe allow any replacement token that is called out in the "Global Settings" and skip it if it does not exist in the present gcode. (I'm really only familiar with Cura so far so forgive my ignorance.)

I've got a few ideas on how it could be done. Layer height can be extrapolated or extracted as you have suggested. Current temps could be queried from OctoPrint. Regarding infill, not sure what you are wanting there (percentage or current feature type).

Never mind I found a workaround that provides the same information. I modified the end gcode script, with the "print settings", as follows:
