M300 S1174.7 P100 ; Play D6
M300 S1318.5 P100 ; Play E6
M300 S1396.9 P100 ; Play F6

Re: Finished print song?

Just for clarification... If I'm reading the image correctly, insert the code before disabling motors(?)

Re: Finished print song?

Do you want the motors to release before or after the song? I wanted it before. Doesn't really matter.

Re: Finished print song?

When I asked the question, it wasn't clear to me what hardware component was making the "song".

At the risk of dating myself, back in the days of the Commodore 64, some folks figured out how to get their 1541 disc drive to play, "Bicycle Built for Two" (and other ditties...) You may have to crank up the volume to hear it, but live--at the time--it was quite audible.

From context, I gather the songs played by the printer have another means for producing the tones.

Re: Finished print song?

That would be a fun project too but no heroic tinkering is needed to have an end-of-print chime. Just the M300 buzzer/beeper control command (see code).

Think you could figure out the Final Fantasy VII victory song?

Re: Finished print song?

Novelty songs played at high volume on a piezo buzzer are interesting once. Maybe twice. After that, I want a minimal chirp to announce the job is done.

Re: Finished print song?

Actually once the printer gets quiet, this is a real good indicator for me 😀

Re: Finished print song?

Final Countdown by Europe?

Re: Finished print song?

We're usually watching a movie in an adjoining room while the printer does its thing. The beep isn't loud or long enough to hear/discern over the soundtrack, so I find myself squinting every once in a while to see if there's any movement in the spool. (I hate having the spool on top of the printer, but until the MMU gets here and I can set both up properly in my office closet...)

So the little ditties would be helpful for us... if I could remember to paste them onto the gcode! 😳
I'm usually so stoked about having a file ready to print that I forget all about the tunes in the rush to print.
(Now if I could find one that played Foggy Mountain Breakdown, things might be different...) 😀

RE: Finished print song?

Thank you. Fantastic (and fun) idea for noisy environments. 

RE: Finished print song?

I'm trying to this with my Mk3S and I'm having some issues. Whenever I try to play a song it only produces 1 frequency. There are brief pauses between gcode lines and when I set the frequency to 0, but that's it. Is there a firmware setting or a setting in the lcd menu that I need to enable to get different frequencies?

RE: Finished print song?

Good. Thank you much. 1 great idea

RE: Finished print song?

I wonder if you could play Chopin - Funeral March if the print crashes or fails 😀

@msb64x

I think I read in the latest firmware RC that the feature to play notes had been fixed. Maybe making it up, I am very old and doddery.
