extra comments in gcode

I have had a few instances where I get a new machine and it's dimensions are different from one I typically use. I tend to keep gcode once I dial things in as far as size, infill, etc. I would however like to also have the original filename in the gcode. I realize I could use factory files but I don't always know if something will need reprinted again on a new machine down the road.

tl;dr
Please add original filename, object size, and infill as comments in the gcode.

Thanks!

Re: extra comments in gcode

The model name and infill settings are already included in the G-Code header. You can prepend the size of the print by adding the following to your terminal commands for post processing input box in the scripts tab.

Code: Select all

{PREPEND "X:[build_size_x] Y:[build_size_y] Z:[build_size_z]\n"}
