Often, the pre-generated G-code is enough for start and end. However, sometimes we want to have something different. In this case: how to generate an audible alert of something like 4 bleeps at the end of the print, after putting the printer into the end position and when the bed has reached a "safe" 30 °C?

Let's put the parts one by one:

  • Wait for bed temperature being at 30 °C: M190 R30
  • Play Bleep for 1/5th of a second: M300 S440 P200
  • Wait for 1/5th of a second: G4 P200

That gives:

M190 R30
M140 S0
M300 S440 P200
G4 P200
M300 S440 P200
G4 P200
M300 S440 P200
G4 P200
M300 S440 P200
G4 P200

Trish's version is good but wait for bed temperature being at 30 °C (M190 R30) before setting the temperature to 0 °C (M140 S0)

So this is my version:

G91 ;relative positioning
G1 E-1 F300  ;retract the filament a bit before lifting the nozzle, to release some of the pressure
G1 Z+0.5 E-5 X-20 Y-20 F9000 ;move Z up a bit and retract filament even more
G28 X0 Y0 ;move X/Y to min endstops, so the head is out of the way
G1 Y150 F5000 ;move completed part out
M84 ;steppers off
G90 ;absolute positioning
M190 R30 ;waits until cooling to 30 °C
M300 S300 P1000 ;beep
M300 S300 P1000 ;beep
M300 S300 P1000 ;beep
M300 S300 P1000 ;beep
M104 S0 ;extruder heater off
M140 S0 ;heated bed heater off

  • S perimeter is "this or more" - 60 is more than 30, so triggers S. – Trish Oct 04 '19 at 13:54
  • ups yeah my bad..I was talking about the M190 R30 gcode but - hey - you used the "R" right so my fault..I'm gonna edit my answer – jæk Oct 04 '19 at 14:34
  • Yur order of commands in the revamped... You do realize that you set the bed off (M140 S0) and then demand the printer to target 30°C after that and not turn off the bed again? – Trish Oct 05 '19 at 15:23
