Accurate layer progress in the secondary screen of the printing panel:
#### Cura
Install the extension: `Display Filename and Layer on LCD`
#### IdeaMaker
* Open IdeaMaker
* Got to: `Slice` > `Manage templates` > `Click on your template` > `Edit`
* Select the tab named `Gcode` > `Layer Change Gcode`
* Paste this:
```ini
M117 Layer {layer_index} / {total_layers}
```
### Accurate layer progress in the secondary screen of the printing panel:
The layer number in the secondary screen of the printing panelis calculated according to object height and provided layer height.
It will be innacurate when using variable layer height, but can be fixed by providing klipper with the correct data.

PrusaSlicer/SuperSlicer:
Printer Settings > Custom Gcode > Start Gcode
#### PrusaSlicer:
* Open PrusaSlicer
* Go to: `Printer Settings` > `Custom Gcode` > `Start Gcode`
```ini
SET_PRINT_STATS_INFO TOTAL_LAYER=[total_layer_count]
```
Printer Settings > Custom Gcode > After layer change Gcode
```ini
SET_PRINT_STATS_INFO CURRENT_LAYER={layer_num + 1}
```
#### Cura
Cura doesn't have a way to use this directly (the only "g-code on layer change" post-processing plugin doesn't support variables),
so the only way to work around is by adding a replacement post-processing script and a specific macro to Klipper.
To add the script to Cura, use the following steps:
* Open Cura
* Open the `Extensions` menu, then `Post processing`, and click on `Modify G-Code`
* Click the `Add Script` button, and select `Search and Replace` from the options
* On the `Search` textbox, enter this:
```
;(LAYER|LAYER_COUNT)\:(\d+)
```
* On the `Replace` textbox, enter this:
```
;\1:\2\n_CURA_SET_PRINT_STATS_INFO \1=\2
```
* Tick the `Use Regular Expressions` checkbox
* Click Close
In Klipper, add this macro to your printer.cfg:
```ini
[gcode_macro _CURA_SET_PRINT_STATS_INFO]
gcode:
{% if params.LAYER_COUNT is defined %}
SET_PRINT_STATS_INFO TOTAL_LAYER={params.LAYER_COUNT}
{% endif %}
{% if params.LAYER is defined %}
SET_PRINT_STATS_INFO CURRENT_LAYER={(params.LAYER | int) + 1}
{% endif %}
```
Then save the changes and restart Klipper.
After this, any new file sliced in Cura will tell Klipper how to handle the layer values
#### IdeaMaker
* Open IdeaMaker
* Got to: `Slice` > `Admin templates` > `Click on your template` > `edit`
* Select the tabs named `Gcode` > `Layer Change Gcode`
* Paste this:
```ini
SET_PRINT_STATS_INFO TOTAL_LAYER={total_layers}
SET_PRINT_STATS_INFO CURRENT_LAYER={layer_index}
```
!!! note
`{total_layers}` doesn't seem to be available in the Start gcode (at least on IdeaMaker 4.3.2)
