That would be possible to do. But wouldn't if be better to synchronise it to e.g. a layer change? If the print is interrupted in the middle of printing a curved outer perimeter, then it's likely that a small blemish would result.

Layer change and tool change can be separated by minutes. And the macro call will be late.

Sorry but I didn't expect to get into an argument when I simply asked a question.

What a dispute, a detailed answer to the question - does not mean a dispute.

Why is it particularly after a tool change (but not immediately after) that you want to do the nozzle cleaning? If you need to prime and clean the nozzle, that can be done in the tpost file. If you want to clean the nozzle at intervals, that can be done in the layer change script - unless you want to do it more often than that.

Ок, I try to test M0 function.

@dc42 said in macros wishlist:

File cancel.g is only called (instead of stop.g) if M0 is issued while the print is paused.

Good day!
I checked the behavior of the M0 function and the macro stop.g
At a regular print end, stop.g is called if it exists. The behavior is correct.
But now when you stop printing, the same stop.g is also called! this behavior is completely wrong.
Event completion of printing and manual stop are 2 different events.
If you manually stop the printer, you do not need to turn off the printer, and upon completion of printing it may be required.

Please add a macro end.g to finish printing.

To stop a print manually, use Pause then Cancel.

yes,i do it and stop.g engaged! Not a cancel.g! it is mistake, i think.

Can you confirm that cancel.g exists?

I check it today.

if cancel.g exist - run cancel.g
if cancel.g not exsist - run stop.g

Is it any docymentation about this hidden behavior?

Pause, stop and power fail
pause.g is run when you pause a print.
resume.g is run when you resume a print.
cancel.g is optional, but if present is run when you cancel a paused print.
stop.g is optional, but if present is run when a print finishes normally with an M0 command at the end of the print job.
sleep.g If M1 is issued the firmware finishes any moves left in its buffer, then shuts down, the macro file sleep.g is run before all heaters and drives are turned off.

The firmware finishes any moves left in its buffer, then it executes the macro file cancel.g if present, if the axes are homed and if a print is being cancelled. Otherwise stop.g is run before all motors are put into idle mode. If no H1 parameter is present, the heaters are turned off too. See also M1, M112.

More new! That is, if you set M0 at the end of the file, then do macros execute cancel.g and stop.g?
At the same time, cancel.g is called when a manual stop occurs, and if not, then stop.g is called?
Why such a complicated macro call system? If one is not, then we call another, etc. And the conditions for calling one and those macros overlap. Isn't it easier for each event to single out 1, the only macro that is called only by it?

dc42

M0 causes stop.g to run; except that if the print is paused at the time, it runs cancel.g (if it exists) in preferences to stop.g.
