Auto Shutdown

I have an i3 I got about 6 months ago, assembled in factory.  How do I get it to auto shutdown after a print?  I added M81 in the custom gcode, of a print, but it didn't work.    What do I need to change?

Best Answer by JoanTabb:

Hi boethos3, 
for automatic shutdown to work, you need a power supply that will auto shutdown. 

the Prusa power supply does not have this feature. 

some people use an octoprint set up, with a software controlled power switch, 

 

if you set the RasPi to monitor extruder temperature after gcode end, you can shut the power off after the extruder falls below 50C

 

regards Joan
