      Anybody have a good source for a bill receptor (if that's what it is called) ? User feeds it a dollar and in turn it plays a music track. Feed it $5 and get an hour of 3D printing service (or 6 music tracks). Find a pub, arrange to locate the printer and watch the money roll in 🙂
      Just got to figure out how to deliver the printed part to the customer in such a way that they can't mess up the process.

        ... and if it's not obvious, add a smiley face to my last post!

          But seriously folks, I would love to have the printer play a different jingle for all the major events that require operator attention. Unfortunately my printer is run 99% remotely so I'd never get to hear it 😞

              @engikeneer .... I am not an engikeneer so I didn't think far enough. Wish I would have finished my degree ...

              I am sure the neighbours will also really appreciate the sound tracks !

                Conveyor bed that automatically ejects prints 😄 I've seen it somewhere just not in a public machine. I think the hardest part would be reliability, but it is possible. You could also set it to cancel and kick a job out if the time runs out before the print is done xD I haven't used bill receptors because they're expensive, but I did put a coin selector in a claw machine I built 😄 It was just some generic thing from ebay and it works quite well surprisingly.

                  Downside is, that it totally blocks Daemon.g for other purposes.
                  Would be cool to block it only while playing the sound.
                  Any ideas? Renaming the original file and replace it with Davids two-liner and back again?

                  If you already have a daemon.g file that is coded as a while loop so that it never terminates under normal conditions, and it spends most of its time in G4 delay calls, then you may not have the original problem anyway. The reason that not having a daemon.g file causes interruptions to timed tasks such as playing tunes is that every 10 seconds RRF will try to open daemon.g if it is not already open; and trying to open a non-existent file on the SD card requires the whole directory to be searched, which may require several sector transfers.

                  Of course you could also choose to have daemon.g play the tune, triggered when it sees a global variable change state.

                    Is it enough to have a blank daemon.g or does it need contents?

                      You could add something like the below lines in your Daemon.g (empty or not) to have a controlable looptime.
                      Set a low value when you need faster processing or higher, when you don't.

                      while  true
                              //do other things
                             ....
                              G4 S{global.DaemonLoopSpeed}

                        It need to have a loop with a delay call in the body.

                        I have it in mind to add a new GCode command to start/stop daemon.g.

                            Here is my favourite in the code text below. I just found it, and i've been imagining it for weeks I tell you, WEEKS! Its the commodore 64 tribute from GTA Vice city. I think I'm going to use this for my main sound. Also, this thread had a bunch I shared earlier:

                            Also Don't be scared to make your own:

                              Set a low value when you need faster processing or higher, when you don't.

                              while  true
                                      //do other things
                                     ....
                                      G4 S{global.DaemonLoopSpeed}
                              

                              So I tried exactly that (but with {global.DaemonLoopSpeed} replaced by a 1 as I didn't want to add a variable in my configuration.g) and the DWC is not unresponsive.

                              I'm going to pull the printer apart to get the mSDCard out once I get the kids in bed tonight.

                              I presume that even though you put it in code blocks that I shouldn't have used it exactly as you wrote it?

                                I believe, you wanted to say "now unresponsive"?
                                IMHO, a one second loop time for daemon.g shouldn't be too short, but there's a reason why they set the default loop time to ten seconds...

                                With a global variable, you wouldn't have to pull the SD-card. Maybe you can overwrite daemon.g by replacing it through DWC download instead of editing the file?
                                I recommend trying it with variable loop time until you figured out the best setting.

                                  @dc42 Unfortunately, adding a daemon.g file with a loop didn't fix it for me. I have a music macro called from my S3D ending script. If I run the macro while no job is running it works fine. But almost always, at the end of a print, the third note doesn't sound. Not a big deal, but I don't know why it does this.
