Octoprint question

When Octoprint is running, can you make MK3 printer TUNE adjustments from the printer LCD front panel control like you can if printing from the SD card?

Re: Octoprint question

You can adjust the print temperature on the fly from Octoprint, providing there are no further temperature changes within the g-code file being printed, adjust the % feed rate and potentially the fan speed for the part cooling fan and even cancel the print job, set nozzle & bed to 0C and raise the head manually on the Octoprint web interface.

You cannot do things like fine tune first layer z value height from Octoprint (as far as I know, there is no G-code to support that) or remotely toggle between normal & stealth modes. Even if Octoprint is streaming a gcode file to the printer over USB, you can still then walk up to the machine and use the tuning menu on the printer LCD screen. I would want to be in front of the machine if I was making any of these changes anyway, so not having them on Octoprint is no big loss.

On that note - if anyone has a list of Prusa-specific g-codes that go off-piste from stock Marlin g-codes ( http://marlinfw.org/meta/gcode/ ) , it would be great to see them.
