Custom Gcode box

Open drake7707 opened this issue 9 months ago • 1 comments

I'm trying to set this up with my Voron 2.4 Stealthchanger build where it homes and quad gantry levels with T0 and then tool changes to the cutter but for that I need to change some gcode in the file.

It would be nice to have a textbox where I can save some gcode that gets injected into the file (similar to how slicers do it in the machine gcode tab).

Ideally I would just do a CUT_START MODE={cutting_mode} similar to PRINT_START where I set up the printer for cutting/plotting. So instead of hard emitting a G28, just emit the start gcode textbox (that by default has G28 in it so behaviour is the same).

Similarly I would like to have a box at the end to do CUT_END for cleanup (dock the cutter/plotter and move back to T0).

That would add a lot of flexibility to set things up regardless of printer configuration.

Great tool btw

Yep, got that planned too :) I'm in the process of moving the printer and cutting mat stuff from the Align tab into a separate Printer Configuration window. That way I can add Start GCode, Stop GCode and (if I end up smartening up the processors) also add GCode between each object.
