Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Most of the time I do not want to repeat bed leveling so I turn it off. However there are known times when the bed should be leveled before starting a print. I would like to see this automated.

Describe the solution you'd like

I am not sure how much of this can be done in just the slicer, but in combination with the firmware it is not a complicated feature.

  1. Identify all the times when the bed should be leveled before printing.
  2. If any of the conditions are true then automatically add bed leveling to the start of the print.

Conditions that I know of that (probably) require the printer to run the bed level calibration.

  1. After a failed print - any print that is stopped before completion
  2. after the printer has been power cycled. This is based on my belief that the printer does not save bed calibration across power cycles
  3. after a firmware update
  4. when the plate type is different from the previous print
