Screen message

Hi,

I added a line in the starting script from simplify3d to raise the extruder before printing so I can clean the nozzle.
G1 X0 Y0 Z150

After that a message with the M117 command
M117 CLEAN NOZZLE NOW

Then a dwell for 10 seconds
G4 P10000

Unfortunately the message does not stay and just show a fraction of a second.
How can I display the message for 10 seconds?

Thanks

Re: Screen message


hmm, does not work here (fw 3.0.10-alpha2) either.
just started a print with this at the start of the gcode:

...
M104 S250 ; set extruder temp
M140 S90 ; set bed temp
M190 S90 ; wait for bed temp
M300 S440 P2000 ;beep to clean nozzle
M117 NASEPUTZEN
G4 S10
M300 S587 P2000
M109 S250 ; wait for extruder temp
...

but i can't even see the "NASEPUTZEN" for a short time at the screen (maybe i just blinked in the moment it showed up).
i guess that the lcd refresh routine just ignores the text that has been set by the M117 command...
simply seems to be a bug.

so, until the M117 display issue will be fixed, i'll stick with the acoustic signals.

dem inscheniör is' nix zu schwör...

Re: Screen message

It looks like M117 is broken by rolling filename feature. I tried on vanilla Marlin 1.1.0-RC7 and M117 works there.

Indeed, I think it is overwritten by the other commands.

Now I just raise the printhead and wait for 10 seconds using G4 S10

Displays says 'sleep'

Re: Screen message

Does anyone know if the M117 bug is known by the amazing Prusa development team and is in the pipeline to be fixed?

I was planning on using the OctoPrint plug in that shows the estimated time left for the print on the Prusa LCD display via M117 commands. This can be handy if you don't have an OctoPrint screen nearby when checking on a print.
