Print Timer

There's one thing about the MK3 firmware that really bugs me.
There's a timer that tracks the print time on the info screen. It starts when you begin a new print.
But it doesn't stop when the print ends!
Please, firmware gods, can you make the timer stop when the print ends, so the display shows how long the print actually took?
Thank you in advance!

Re: Print Timer

I am not sure, if we have the same MK3. The final time is on the bottom as message, doesn't it?

I'll look again, but the timer on the info screen is definitely still counting up on my printer after the print ends.

Last night I started a 1-hour print before going to bed. In the morning the timer said 8+ hours and the printer was long done and cooled down.

I figured it out. In the end g-code for the MK3 there's a command:

G4; wait

I removed this because it was confusing a post-processor I was using, and seemed to serve no purpose.

When I put the command back in, my printer started displaying the total print time at the end of the print. So apparently this command serves to stop the print timer and display the print time message.
