Shutdown printer after printjob complete
Posted: Sun Feb 10, 2019 12:24 am
Hi Everyone:
Loving Simplify3D as a new user, very impressed. While I may be fairly new to 3D printing, I'm a real life inventor with several patents and products under my belt already. Naturally, I want to hot-rod things and make them better, faster, stronger, etc. This feature request is more about power saving, however. Many software programs have the option to 'Shutdown Computer' when a task is complete, or files are down downloading,etc. This is basically the same thing- Shutdown the 3D printer after the print job has completed. Not only would it save electricity, but also reduce wear and tear on fans, for one. With a 9.8kW solar grid, I make my own power, so I'm still kind of stingy with it, even though I have plenty to spare. So- what say you? Would this be a good feature to have?
