Automatic Switch off MK4 after print job cmpleted?
Hi,
Is there a GCode that can be used to turn off my MK4 after the job is complete and the head is moved out of the way?
If yes, can you also please share with me screenshots of where I need to add in the specific GCode command?
Truly hope this can be done.
I am also using Prusa Connect, if that might be of any help.

You can find a list of Buddy compatible G-Code for the MK4 here : Buddy Firmware Specific G-Code

I wouldn't do that. You should leave the printer on until the print head cools down and the fan stops.

I agree - ask me how I know (and had to buy a new nozzle whilst I try to clear the blockage in the old one).
I actually run my printer through a Kasa smart extension lead: https://amzn.eu/d/7GbKoLy - this is a surge protector and remote 3 way extension lead in 1. Once I see in connect that the print has finished and the temperatures have gone down, I simply switch off the printer; been working that way for over a year now - the nozzle blockage was entirely my fault because I never let things cool down and had a problem with heat creep.
