How to set the percentage complete in Gcode?

moosi · 21 Mar 2022, 19:07

Hi,
I would like to set the percentage via Gcode. I know M73 but according to the wiki it is not supported by RRF.
I could live with either the percentage or remaining time, but I have to set in the code.

Are there any ways of doing this?

thanks for your help

@moosi RRF supports the remaining print time function of M73. See https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/Reference/Gcodes#m73-set-remaining-print-time.

thanks a lot for your reply.
Yes it does support time, but DWC is only showing percentage. M73 has apparently no impact on DWCs calculations. AFAIK it uses filament and byte positions as fallback but no M73.

Do I miss something?

@moosi which firmware and DWC version are you using?

Recent firmware and DWC versions show three different time estimates, of which one is "slicer". That is the one affected by M73.

It´s:
Board: Duet 3 MB6HC (MB6HC)
DSF Version: 3.4-rc1
Firmware: RepRapFirmware for Duet 3 MB6HC 3.4.0rc1 (2022-02-09)

I´m going to check the "slicer" time.

@moosi also I suggest you upgrade to 3.4.0 stable.
