dubtec 0 Posted April 12, 2014 in Change lcd "printing" to Filename? Hi, I wonder if its possible to get the LCD to display the filename of whats printing instead of "printing". I fully understand how to change the text to anything, but not sure how to pick up the file name? any thoughts David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hreedijk 4 Posted April 12, 2014 in Change lcd "printing" to Filename? David, What I normally do, in Cura expert settings, on the tab Start/End-Gcode, in the left below window, change the M117 command. I put there the filename of the gcode file I'm preparing to make, import the STL file into Cura and save the GCode file equal to the filename I put in the M117 command. Example: M117 any text you want Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dubtec 0 Posted April 12, 2014 in Change lcd "printing" to Filename? Sounds a simple solution, is there any way to automatically pick up the filename and add it to 117? would this work ? found it on sli3r M117 [input_filename_base] ; display printed file on LCD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bdmfab 0 Posted September 16, 2017 in Change lcd "printing" to Filename? Hi, Wondering if this was ever solved? M117 {filename} is not valid as well as all other combinations I have tried. Currently using Cura 2.7 . Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
