Slicer Configuration

Macros

RatOS comes with START_PRINT and END_PRINT macros that you can call directly from your slicers. This way the printer knows how to start a print, and you can there easily switch between slicers without worrying if you changed anything in another slicer. The g-code for these macros are found in config/printers/[PRINTER_NAME]/macros.cfg

machine end gcode

END_PRINT

START_PRINT EXTRUDER_TEMP=[first_layer_temperature] BED_TEMP=[first_layer_bed_temperature]

End GCode
