color change custom message  

RE: color change custom message

There's M117: https://marlinfw.org/docs/gcode/M117.html to display a message but I found that often gets wiped out by other system messages.

There's also M0 https://marlinfw.org/docs/gcode/M000-M001.html and G4 https://marlinfw.org/docs/gcode/G004.html to wait. I'm not sure if they're supported by the Mini but easy enough to test. Please let us know because this sounds like a good idea. I usually write down the sequence of filament swaps before the print but it's still easy enough to get confused…

RE: color change custom message

Prusa slicer has currently an option to add a custom gcode at the time of color change. I however cannot find any (prusaslicer) parameter which can be used to modify the text each time the color change is requested during the print. This can provide the possibility of displaying the information about the requested filament.

I am looking for something similar to "M117 Change color now to [COLORCHANGE_MESSAGE]", where COLORCHANGE_MESSAGE will be defined separately for each color change in prusaslicer (or will be automatically generated based on color, etc). 

Is there anything similar available in prusaslicer ?

RE: color change custom message

I'm not aware to grab the color programmatically. I believe it's sheer cosmetics in the slicer. Might be worthwhile though to go to the Prusaslicer github site and request to be able to use the filament color in custom g-code as a parameter.
