Request - Ability to perform action after print finished. #102

Open Vantage-DS opened 1 month ago

Not sure if this is possible.

For my printers, I usually add GCode to the end of a print to retract 3mm, just to prevent oozing and allow the next print to go down clean, without intervention.

On Repetier I can do this universally, so I don't need to change the slicer machine/filament gcode, it will just apply it to whatever printer I want.

Is it possible to have post printing options on The Panda touch? Turn the light off, pull filament back a few mm, or other features people might like?

While executing single lines of gcode should theoretically be allowed by the API, it is unfortunately blocked when attempts are made to execute them. Only 3mf files can be printed. A workaround could be to allow print queues and then to completely hack the start code in Bambu studio so that the second 3mf file is nothing more than a retraction command and this is the second print in the queue. Printing queues are something that we have planned in the roadmap.

Interesting! That could be a way around it.

Alternatively, the Panda can make the extruder move in both directions via the touch screen, is it possible to have a basic retraction movement happen automatically after a print has finished? Or can it not execute a command without user input?
