Something fun: R2D2-ish Alerts for your G-Code (...if your printer has a buzzer)  

Something fun: R2D2-ish Alerts for your G-Code (...if your printer has a buzzer)

I thought to make my printer less boring and more talkative... so, I made this g-code sequences to produce buzzer sounds for various situations.
I am only using some, in my start and end g-code, but I thought to share them with you, in case some finds them interesting.

You can test them by saving the snippet on a .txt file on your SD card, rename the .txt to .gcode, and then simply load it on the printer as if it were a print file. It will show a warning the gcode is not complete, but that's fine. You'll hear the sound in the buzzer.

Then, you can add it into the custom g-code on prusa slicer (or octoprint) whenever you like ...
