Display Filename

I changed my Printer Settings Start G-Code using M117 to provide me with various prompts an info during setup. But when the print starts I want to see the filename that is printing. How or what code do I use to complete this task?

M117 [input_filename_base] perhaps?

Have you tried simply adding one more M117 command with the filename after all your setup prompts? Something like:

M117 [input_filename_base]

Also, if you are using OctoPrint, there are other alternatives.

Thanks "bobstro"

That works perfectly. I'm using it on your g-code startup routine.
