Very simple firmware feature request

Rather than clearing the elapsed time when the print ends, could we please have the final total print time left on display? That way if I come back later long after it has finished, I have some idea as t how long it takes to actually print whatever the object is.

Re: Very simple firmware feature request

Mine is showing "sleeping" now instead of print time. Even more useless. I need to see if there's a setting to change for that.

The only time I have seen "Sleeping" is when using OctoPrint.

I'm only printing via SD card. I was used to taking a look at the print time when removing the part, but it's started showing the sleeping message instead. Not sure what I changed to cause this, but it wasn't intentional. I'm pretty sure it was operating normally when I first flashed the latest firmware version. I must've selected something inadvertently.

Mine also says sleeping. I'd much rather see what the total print time was.

I noticed the "sleeping" message when I changed my end gcode to do a bit more than the default. Have you changed yours?

Well, yes, although I'm using simplify3D.

Interesting. Yes, I've tweaked mine to reset extrusion M221 S100, retract a bit and chirp. Am not printing any custom messages though. I'll try bog-stock Prusa settings next.

I had forgotten that I generated some files using KISSlicer, which is apparently responsible for that message. Glad to know where to hunt it down and remove it! Thanks.
