SimplyPrint Slicer variables
In this article, we'll explain how to use variables with the SimplyPrint Slicer & Gcode Macros!
Before reading;
You should know about our Gcode Macros & Gcode Snippets feature first! Read all about it here; Gcode Macros & snippets
Slicer-specific variables
{temp}
: Hot end temperature{bed_temp}
: Bed temperature{fan_speed}
: Active cooling fan speed (usually 0-255){material}
: Length in mm of material (filament) used{layers}
: Total # of layers{layer}
: Current layer number{height}
: Current layer height in mm{progress}
: 0-100% state of print output{tool}
: Current tool in use {nozzle}: Alias of "tool"{tool_count}
: Number of tools used in print{tool_used_n}
: Whether tool # n is used in print{z_max}
: Max build height in mm{z}
: Current z position{e}
: Amount of filament extruded{has_abl}
: If the printer has an auto bed leveling sensor{use_abl}
: If the printer should perform auto bed leveling on start of print (defined in the printer's settings){direct_drive}
: If the printer is a direct drive printer{abl_gcode}
: The printer-defined G-code for auto bed leveling{range(from,to)}
: Evaluated using {layer} and {layers}{extrude_abs}
: If the printer should extrude in absolute mode (defined in the printer's settings)
Conditional logic; IF
-statements in Gcode
{ }
The SimplyPrint Slicer supports conditional logic - "if this is true, then do this". Example;
;; IF { layer >= 10 && layer <= 20 }
;; ..... inside 10-20 layer={layer}
;; ELIF { layer >= 15 && layer <= 25 }
;; ..... inside 15-25 layer={layer}
;; ELSE
;; ..... did not match previous tests layer={layer}
;; END
You can read more about Gcode variables and the conditional logic in the Kiri:Moto slicer documentation (which the SimplyPrint Slicer is based on); https://docs.grid.space/projects/kiri-moto/gcode-macros
