Description

Hello. Is it possible to extend the list of variables available for G-code? I would like to create a similar G-code like Cura but there are missing variables like

Total estimated time (seconds)
Elapsed time for each layer (seconds)
Used Filament (m)
MINX
MINY
MINZ
MAXX
MAXY
MAXZ

Version of PrusaSlicer

2.6.1

Operating system

macOs Ventura 13.5.2

Printer model

Elegoo Neptune 3 Plus

Total estimated time and used filament are already present, at the end of the gcode

I too am however interested in time for each layer and MIN/MAX X/Y/Z

Doesn't look too difficult honestly, as the size data is already used in the slicer:

@martin-badin if you are especially interested in MAXZ (which I am too), in your post-processing script you can count the number of instances of layer change macro calls, subtract 1 (the macro definition) then multiply by layer height
