Can Cura 5.0.0 handled ‘if’ statements?

[Merlwynd 0]

Does anyone know if Cura 5.0.0 can handle ‘if’ statements in the machine settings start or end gcode? I’d like to add an if statement in the end gcode to raise the print head by 10mm, but only if z height is 10mm less than printer envelope. I can easily do this with an ‘if’ statement in the end gcode…but earlier versions of Cura did not allow this…or it wasn’t recognized.

It does not support logic or math in the Start or End gcodes.

Unless your prints are always at max height you can use a relative move of 5 or 10mm's to get the nozzle off the print.

Thanks for reply. Ya, I could do that, and also reduce z height accordingly under printer limits to be sure no issues, but thought it would be neat if it could handle the logic…maybe in future….

My printer lists a Zmax at 250.  I didn't like the way the bowden and cables were bent when it's that high so I lowered it to 240 in cura.  I can still use the 250 if I need it.  I go back into Machine Settings and move the height back up for just that print.  It doesn't happen often (I think once for me).

There is a slicer (PrusaSlicer?) that does math in the StartUp and End gcodes but I'm not sure if it can do logic.

Just for Information Yes they can do it ( Prusa And SuperSlicer) Ie for Ender-3 end Gcode

Yes thanks...I also use Prusa Slicer and that is where I got the idea from. Wanted to use with Cura as well if that was possible....but I guess it isn't.
