Can you see your project's current layer as it prints?

[Dead3ye 2]

I was wondering if there was a setting to see the current layer that your project is printing

While I have never used the setting myself, I know of the following:

Extensions -> Post Processing -> Modify G-Code -> "Display Filename And Layer On LCD".

There is also a "show progress" variant, but judging by the settings in that one it'll show time remaining and/or the percentage it's at.

Just note that that script won't work on all printers - the script itself is fine, but the user interface of the printer's screen doesn't display messages.

 

I know (first hand!) this is a problem with many newer Creality printers but I'm not sure if there's any others it applies to.
