Bug found, and a related feature request
Hi folks,
I found a bug in a text string in PrusaSlicer version 2.5.0+win64 that should be an easy fix for the next release, and would be easily findable in your localisation strings file without the below steps to reproduce. And then I've got a feature request which led me to finding this bug in the first place. =)
First, the bug!
Text reads :
The sequential print is on.
It's impossible to apply any custom G-code for objects printing
sequentually.
"sequentually" should be "sequentially".
STR
Load PrusaSlicer-2.5.0
Right-click on the print-area and select "Add Shape > Box"
Set the newly created Box location to X 30, Y 90
While the Box is selected, press CTRL-C to Copy the Box
Press CTRL-V to paste that copy
Select the new Box
Set the newly created Box location to X 150, Y 90
GoTo "Print Settings" tab
GoTo "Output Options"
Set "Complete individual objects" to True
GoTo "Plater" tab
Select "Slice now"
In the Preview pane, hover the mouse cursor over the "+" icon next to the layer height indicator
Observe typo in text as described above.
If you really need images for this, let me know, but it's pretty easy to repro with 100% reproducibility following the steps above. =)
Now, the feature request :
Can we please add the ability to add custom G-code while the "Complete individual objects" setting is True?
I came across this bug thinking I'd be able to put a pause in between objects to change the filament colour to enable printing multiple objects in multiple objects in a single print run.
Presumably I can do this by adding the relevant commands in the G-code manually after generating it with PrusaSlicer. I imagine there would need to be some restrictions on the maximum height of objects to ensure the lower X-axis rod (for a Prusa Mini+, for example) didn't clip any previously printed objects, but it does all seem eminently do-able.
I'll come back to this with my gcode file once I've hacked it in and made a successful print with it. =)
Thanks!
RE: Bug found, and a related feature request
Hi, the forum is mainly user to user. The devs very rarely pop in here. Even most of the moderators are volunteers.
All issue reports as well as feature requests need to be made at the Prusa Slicer github repository. When posted there they are given an issue number and are tracked.
Please do a search first though before posting as there are many and it may have already been reported. There are over 2300 open issues and over 6000 closed.
Also please follow the guidelines for opening new issues there, but please DO report anything you find that is new.
The location is https://github.com/prusa3d/PrusaSlicer/issues There are similar ones for all the various prusa projects like for the mk3 firmware and the mini firmware for example.
The restriction of colour changes (or other things) for individual objects has been reported many times and its that way by design at the moment. For example https://github.com/prusa3d/PrusaSlicer/issues/7404
https://github.com/prusa3d/PrusaSlicer/issues/3944
https://github.com/prusa3d/PrusaSlicer/issues/5626

Thanks for this.
I had tried the Help > Report an Issue menu option in PrusaSlicer, but didn't have a github account and figured the forum was the next best bet.
Thanks for clearing it up for me. I guess I'll start learning about github now. =)

Is this of any use?
If I understand you correctly this is the place I would start.
Or maybe I would adding more tools and assign tools to parts 🤔
Prusa i3 MK3S+ FW 3.11.0 (kit dec -20), PrusaSlicer 2.6.1+win64, Fusion 360, Windows 10
RE: Bug found, and a related feature request
YES!
Brilliant, thank you! =)
I hadn't even seen that option; I hadn't scrolled down far enough on each option page!
