Version 2.3.3 (flatpak)
Fedora 34 Silverblue

Behavior

  • When a model has custom g-code such as "Pause print (M601)" assigned to a layer. Then the user selects PrintSettings > OutputOptions > CompleteIndividualObjects (checked) they get a warning message (as pictured).

  • If instead the user selects PrintSettings > OutputOptions > CompleteIndividualObjects (checked) before they try to pick a layer and add custom g-code, there is no message about the exclusion of custom g-code in sequential print mode. If the user tries to add custom g-code by right clicking the layer bar, the starting layers arrow is moved from the bottom up, but no message or prompt is made that might indicate that adding custom g-code is not implemented. The issue looks like a bug someone might come here to write up. Alternatively this could be noted in the pop up help info for PrintSettings > OutputOptions > CompleteIndividualObjects.

  • That's it, I just wish there was a message.

Making My Case for Custom G-Code in Sequential Mode

  • I use the custom g-code pause for small parts like knobs with a hex nut embedded. If some extra filament ooze gets into the following print layer it is not a big deal for small parts. If I have a pause with minutes of delay, and there is some other larger part on the plate, the next layer on the larger part will usually be quite poor due to the lack of priming.
  • Normally, I just print parts with embedded fasteners separately, but I am trying to organize and share a larger project with around 50 printed parts broken up into 9 groups of related parts. I am trying to keep my project as simple as possible by sharing Prusa Slicer project files for all nine groups with modifier settings on several parts. I do not want to compromise some of the larger project parts by pausing the print unnecessarily in the middle of them. It would be helpful if I could manage a project file with both sequential printing and g-code. I don't know how else someone can share a large project that is organized at a higher level by intuitive design, and is easy for end users that may not want to take a deep dive into understanding the details of a project. Maybe you know a better way?

Thanks for taking the time to review this.

The warning was already added in PrusaSlicer 2.4:

Closing the issue. I'll keep #3944 open as a feature request to extend the custom gcodes to sequential printing.
