Layer number on screen. Remove "Layer" word.

hi all,

 

Cura 4.3.0.

 

I'm using post processing script to show the layer number and file name, as I find it very useful.

 

The problem (maybe improvable matter) I see is the full word "Layer " on the screen is useless, I'd only need the "L" following the number. For example: "L234"; instead of "Layer 234".

In regards of the temperature, for example, there is only the thermometer icon (1 place of the screen).

 

What I'm currently doing to remove the (L)"ayer" letters is using the Find and Replace tool of notepad, modifying the gcode file.

 

"Open with" the gcode file with notepad > Edit > Find and Replace (Ctrl+R) > Look for: "Layer ", replace for "L" > Replace all. > Save changes > Close file.

 

It works fine this way for me, but it's a mess for every file. Do you know an alternative (automate) way of doing this task?

 

thank you.

    You can add a Search-and-Replace postprocessing script to do this (Extesions -> Post Processing -> Modify GCode).

     

    Search: M117 Layer

    Replace: M117 L

    Use Regular Expressions: unchecked

        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
