Firmware/Slicer annoyance

(posting it here because I'm not sure if this is a Slic3r bug or a firmware bug)

There is a new 'feature' in Slic3r/firmware that is defeating a significant value of Octopi remote access for me.  

I just modeled/sliced a quick print while  preheating remotely (I knew black PETG was already loaded) and sent the model directly to the printer.  Uploaded and pushed print.  

I started watching the pi camera and temperature to make sure I got a clean first layer.  I waited and waited, then realized that the temp display had stopped moving.  Checked the terminal: waiting for user input.  

Went upstairs and found a "there is a new firmware version 3.blah.blah" announcement.  Presumably the firmware picks that up from the slicer file.

I have no desire to immediately upgrade the firmware (this is a new mk3s and I want to dial it in a bit and let others beta test the firmware before I switch). I suspect that means I'll have to head upstairs to manually click through the annoying 'notice' every time I start a new print.

Presumably this is a Slic3r feature.  Does this mean I have to switch to simplify3d to avoid this?  I use S3d for my other printers, but have had good luck with Slic3r on my mk3, but this could change that. 

Anyway to disable this feature?

Remove the nag gcode from your printer profile ...

change

M115 U3.7.1 ; tell printer latest fw version (and nag nag nag ...)

to

; M115 U3.7.1 ; tell printer latest fw version

D'oh.  Obvious now that I look.  A single semi-colon!

For others hitting the same thing, to make it explicit:

- In PrusaSlicer
   - Printer Settings => Custom G-code => Start G-code => add a semicolon before the first line:

Change: "M115 U3.7.2 ; tell printer latest fw version"
to: ";M115 U3.7.2 ; tell printer latest fw version"
(or just delete the line...)

Then save the printer profile (floppy disk icon at the top).

Thanks,

Paul

Now remember to use your saved profile, since you can't (as far as I know) overwrite the stock profiles. Also the stock profiles get updated dynamically every once in a while.
