Feature request: Option to set print queue to automatic, ie. "set ready" is always pressed and the next print starts automatically without user input
Hello,
I'm mass producing tall and narrow parts. They release from a cooled down bed really easily but for some reason like to be printed one by one and not like 20pcs at once on the print plate so automatically printing them one by one would be the perfect solution for me.
I've been able to add a simple bit of GCODE to the "End G-Code" portion of the filament tab that turns off the hotend and moves the nozzle away from the part, then simply waits for the bed to to cool down and rams the part away using the X axis rods. I've set up my printer on an incline and they release perfectly with very little force every time and fall into a tray! 👍
I'm looking for a better way to start the next print, it would be really convenient if I could just have the print queue run automatically without having to press the "set ready" button between prints.
Currently my workaround is I first export the GCODE from slicer then open it with notepad and loop the printing part which is a bit cumbersome and leads to huge file sizes but does work somewhat fine.

I made a feature request on github. I hope it's not a problem to post it on both the forum and github.
RE:
I have exactly the same problem, and would like to 2nd this request. I thought just adding the gcode command M72 S1 to the end of the file would be enough to set the printer to ready status and automatically proceed with the next job, but the printer doesn't seem to be acknowledging the command. I still have to click "Set Ready" at the end of every print, which defeats the purpose. For all the reasons the original poster mentioned, manually copying and pasting multiple prints into one big gcode file is really something I would prefer not to do. Automatically setting the printer state to "Ready" after the end of a print is really the feature that I need.
