Conditional Settings in Global PLA setting

[clemensk 0]

Hi,

 

I'm using a Snapmaker Artisan and would like to find a way to accommodate different nozzle sizes with different materials. My solution would need a conditional argument in the global material file.

Example: artisan_PLA_Normal.inst.cfg

 

Line:

speed_print = 120

 

I already figured out:

speed_print = =100 if machine_nozzle_size <0.5 else 50  works and

speed_print = =130 if machine_nozzle_size ==0.4 else 50 

works too. But I can't figure out how to create a switch case similar setting.

 

For Example:

 

speed_print = =130 if machine_nozzle_size ==0.4 else =60 if machine_nozzle_size == 0.8 else =180 if machine_nozzle_size ==0.2

 

nothing close to this works. How can I create a conditional statement that uses a different speed depending on the nozzle size?

 

Thanks a lot!

I think it's just evaluating Python, but it will only accept single lines (not blocks, which takes using a match statement off the table).

 

You may have to go into what programmers might all "ternary hell". Or just a big mess. Also I'm pretty sure you don't need the = sign in front of absolute values, just ones drawn programmatically. That could be confusing the Python interpreter. You also need a fallback parameter on your last ternary or it will read the "if" as a statement, not part of an operator.

 

Try:

speed_print = 130 if machine_nozzle_size == 0.4 else 60 if machine_nozzle_size  == 0.8 else 180 if machine_nozzle_size == 0.2 else 100

Works!

 

speed_print = =180 if machine_nozzle_size == 0.2 else 100 if machine_nozzle_size == 0.4 else 70 if machine_nozzle_size == 0.6 else 50

 

changes the speed depending on nozzle size!

Oddly enough, the = before the 180 is needed...
