[SOLVED] Build summary on top of G-code file

[spilz]

Hello,

My printer is able to estimate the remaining time of a print if there is total build time on the top of the g-code file.

I saw there is the "build summary" on the bottom, so I want to find a wait to have it on the top.

Is there a way to do it ?
maybe with post processing script ? (but I don't find a variable like [build_time] to do it )

thanks for your help

regards

We can recreate most of the build statistics using the following post processing script.

{PREPEND "; Build Summary\n; Build time: [total_print_time_min] minutes\n; Filament length: [total_filament_used] mm\n; Plastic weight: [total_filament_weight] g\n"}

Note: Plastic Volume and Material Cost are not variables available for scripting, so they're omitted from this script.

That is exactly what I needed thanks
I was looking all around the forum but I never found [total_print_time_min]
Where can we find an exhaustive list of variables like this ?
There are some topics about it but nothing exhaustive

Your statements are correct...and your question has been asked before, but never answered!

I suspect that the full list of variables is either not known by Simplify3D, or they don't want us to know the information for some reason!

Thanks

As it seems you know post processing script well, I have some basic questions

what is the langage used ?
(very basic / stupid question but I didn't find it)

is it possible to manupulate the variables like [total_print_time_min] ?
exemple : i found that my printer is almoust 20% slower than the time calculated, so I would like to [total_print_time_min] * 1.2 or something like this

Thanks for your help

It can be dangerous to assume!! Unfortunately, I'm not the best person to answer your follow-on questions, as I don't think I've ever used post-processing.

thanks anyway
I will open a new topic for that
