Help with output file naming

Hello!

Please is it possible to find out how are named the variable of the umber of instances - I want the file name to include how many models im printing (I usually make gcodes with 2, 4, 8 instances of a single model / group of models and print them depending on how much time I have). 

Also is there a complete list the variables that can be used?

Thank you!

Try using "num_instances" in your output filename format and see if that works for you. I haven't experimented with this, myself, so please report back if this works.

 

How I found this (FYI if you need to look up other placeholder names): The help text for output filename format states that you can use all configuration options as variables. So I went to the custom g-code editor (click the edit icon on one of the custom g-code text boxes) and found under "Objects info" a placeholder "num_instances" that has the description "Total number of object instances in the print, summed over all objects".
