Macro For auto clearing print bed for hospital face shields
-
I have an idea for upping my output of printing face shields for my local hospitals by using a macro to say
Print shield.gcode
execute move to eject parts from bed
repeatIf there is not repeat can I nest the macro or just copy paste the command say 10 times so I can sleep 10hrs or so.
Example
Mxxx Shield.gcode
Mxx t 5mins ;cool bed
Mxxx Shield_eject.Macro
Mxxx ;repeat or nest this macro -
Using RRF3 you should be able to do a loop.
If not look at M98 (or possibly M23+M24 if there is a reason M98 shouldn't work with the print g-code) and just copy paste the codes needed 10 times.

Yeah I'm trying to write it now reading that. Is there a good way to say wait fro bed to cool to x degrees C instead of wait for heat?

I don't know if M116 works both up and down; but I guess you can test it

@bearer It does indeed wait for cooling

Good to know!
