Add a Software Reminder for Printer Maintenance

Hello!

  I think it would be nice to add a reminder for printer maintenance such as oiling, checking the hardware and cleaning the machine. In my opinion, it is not at all difficult for the software to monitor the printing hours and at each interval of the manufacturer's specified operating hours, the printer will notify us with a message on the display and an audible alarm. After we have done the lubrication and inspection of the printer, we can note that the maintenance is complete and this is reflected in the machine's memory for further maintenance procedures. I would be happy with such an add-on in the next MK4 software update. This is nothing for the developers, but it will be very useful, because for example, I can't remember how many hours the printer was running when I last serviced my machine!

Hopefully the right people will read this because I don't know if I should have written about this idea of ​​mine here… Greetings! 🙂

I agree. It would make also the product more professional.

Like all decent cars tell you to do maintenance.

If you have a GitHub account, this would be best filed as a feature request. The firmware repo is probably the right place: https://github.com/prusa3d/Prusa-Firmware-Buddy.
