# Macros ## Recommended !!! note If you have already installed other UIs then you may have these macros already, and it's usually asked by KIAUH None of the following macros are strictly required for KlipperScreen, but they provide the toolhead parking at pause and cancel. These can be assumed sane defaults, but should be checked and modified to your own needs. ### Pause ```yaml+jinja title="printer.cfg" [gcode_macro PAUSE] description: Pause the actual running print rename_existing: PAUSE_BASE gcode: PAUSE_BASE _TOOLHEAD_PARK_PAUSE_CANCEL ``` ### Resume ```yaml+jinja title="printer.cfg" [gcode_macro RESUME] description: Resume the actual running print rename_existing: RESUME_BASE gcode: ##### read extrude from _TOOLHEAD_PARK_PAUSE_CANCEL macro ##### {% set extrude = printer['gcode_macro _TOOLHEAD_PARK_PAUSE_CANCEL'].extrude %} #### get VELOCITY parameter if specified #### {% if 'VELOCITY' in params|upper %} {% set get_params = ('VELOCITY=' + params.VELOCITY) %} {%else %} {% set get_params = "" %} {% endif %} ##### end of definitions ##### {% if printer.extruder.can_extrude|lower == 'true' %} M83 G1 E{extrude} F2100 {% if printer.gcode_move.absolute_extrude |lower == 'true' %} M82 {% endif %} {% else %} {action_respond_info("Extruder not hot enough")} {% endif %} RESUME_BASE {get_params} ``` ### Park ```yaml+jinja title="printer.cfg" [gcode_macro _TOOLHEAD_PARK_PAUSE_CANCEL] description: Helper: park toolhead used in PAUSE and CANCEL_PRINT variable_extrude: 1.0 gcode: ##### set park positon for x and y ##### # default is your max posion from your printer.cfg {% set x_park = printer.toolhead.axis_maximum.x|float - 5.0 %} {% set y_park = printer.toolhead.axis_maximum.y|float - 5.0 %} {% set z_park_delta = 2.0 %} ##### calculate save lift position ##### {% set max_z = printer.toolhead.axis_maximum.z|float %} {% set act_z = printer.toolhead.position.z|float %} {% if act_z < (max_z - z_park_delta) %} {% set z_safe = z_park_delta %} {% else %} {% set z_safe = max_z - act_z %} {% endif %} ##### end of definitions ##### {% if printer.extruder.can_extrude|lower == 'true' %} M83 G1 E-{extrude} F2100 {% if printer.gcode_move.absolute_extrude |lower == 'true' %} M82 {% endif %} {% else %} {action_respond_info("Extruder not hot enough")} {% endif %} {% if "xyz" in printer.toolhead.homed_axes %} G91 G1 Z{z_safe} F900 G90 G1 X{x_park} Y{y_park} F6000 {% if printer.gcode_move.absolute_coordinates|lower == 'false' %} G91 {% endif %} {% else %} {action_respond_info("Printer not homed")} {% endif %} ``` ### Cancel ```yaml+jinja title="printer.cfg" [gcode_macro CANCEL_PRINT] description: Cancel the actual running print rename_existing: CANCEL_PRINT_BASE variable_park: True gcode: ## Move head and retract only if not already in the pause state and park set to true {% if printer.pause_resume.is_paused|lower == 'false' and park|lower == 'true'%} _TOOLHEAD_PARK_PAUSE_CANCEL {% endif %} TURN_OFF_HEATERS CANCEL_PRINT_BASE ``` ## Extrude Panel ### LOAD_FILAMENT / UNLOAD_FILAMENT These macros are used in the Extrude panel `Load` and `Unload` buttons. and they will be hidden from the macros panel. The selected speed in the panel is transferred as a parameter. The following examples show how this can be used: ```yaml+jinja title=" printer.cfg" [gcode_macro LOAD_FILAMENT] variable_load_distance: 50 variable_purge_distance: 25 gcode: {% set speed = params.SPEED|default(300) %} {% set max_velocity = printer.configfile.settings['extruder'].max_extrude_only_velocity * 60 %} SAVE_GCODE_STATE NAME=load_state G91 G92 E0 G1 E{load_distance} F{max_velocity} # fast-load G1 E{purge_distance} F{speed} # purge RESTORE_GCODE_STATE NAME=load_state ``` !!! warning `variable_load_distance` will depend on the printers distance from the extruder to the nozzle. For printers with long bowden tubes you may have to increase the extrude only distance in the configfile ```ini title=" printer.cfg" [extruder] max_extrude_only_distance: 600 # default is 50mm ``` ```yaml+jinja title=" printer.cfg" [gcode_macro UNLOAD_FILAMENT] variable_unload_distance: 50 variable_purge_distance: 25 gcode: {% set speed = params.SPEED|default(300) %} {% set max_velocity = printer.configfile.settings['extruder'].max_extrude_only_velocity * 60 %} SAVE_GCODE_STATE NAME=unload_state G91 G92 E0 G1 E{purge_distance} F{speed} # purge G1 E-{unload_distance} F{max_velocity} # fast-unload RESTORE_GCODE_STATE NAME=unload_state ``` if it loads too fast and your extruder can't keep up, you should adjust the `max_extrude_only_velocity` in `printer.cfg` ## Hidden by the interface All gcode_macros with the attribute `rename_existing` are hidden , because these are default Klipper Gcodes and these should be implemented in KlipperScreen itself with buttons already. [This is the same behaiviour of other UIs](https://docs.mainsail.xyz/overview/features/hide-macros-outputs-or-fans#macros-with-rename_existing) [LOAD_FILAMENT and UNLOAD_FILAMENT are also hidden](#load_filament-unload_filament) ## Hide Macros Macros can be completely hidden in the interface by prefixing the name with an underscore. ```yaml+jinja title=" printer.cfg" [gcode_macro MY_AWESOME_GCODE] gcode: _MY_HELPER_CODE [gcode_macro _MY_HELPER_CODE] gcode: M300 ``` `MY_AWESOME_GCODE` appears in your interface settings, but `_MY_HELPER_CODE` does not. ## Prompts It allows macros in Klipper to trigger dialog prompts to interact with the Firmware and will enable the user to choose between options or to close the dialog again in case it's no longer needed. !!! warning This feature needs the `[respond]` module of Klipper. So please check if this is enabled in your Klipper config. ### Supported Macro prompt commands Begin the prompt and set a title: ```yaml+jinja title="Start" RESPOND TYPE=command MSG="action:prompt_begin My Prompt" ``` Add a button: Both `prompt_button` and `prompt_footer_button` work but at the moment of writing this they are equal The options are label | gcode | style Supported styles: primary, secondary, info, warning, error ```yaml+jinja title="Add a button" RESPOND TYPE=command MSG="action:prompt_button button_text|RESPOND MSG=test|info" ``` !!! info Only 4 buttons are allowed, the rest will not show due to screen space concerns Show the prompt on the screen: ```yaml+jinja title="Show" RESPOND TYPE=command MSG="action:prompt_show" ``` Optional: Close the Prompt: ```yaml+jinja title="Close" RESPOND TYPE=command MSG="action:prompt_end" ``` ### Examples ```yaml+jinja [gcode_macro SHOW_PROMPT] gcode: RESPOND TYPE=command MSG="action:prompt_begin My Prompt" RESPOND TYPE=command MSG="action:prompt_text This is an example of a prompt" RESPOND TYPE=command MSG="action:prompt_button primary|G28|primary" RESPOND TYPE=command MSG="action:prompt_button secondary|RESPOND MSG=test|secondary" RESPOND TYPE=command MSG="action:prompt_button info|RESPOND MSG=test #2|info" RESPOND TYPE=command MSG="action:prompt_button warning|RESPOND MSG=test #3|warning" RESPOND TYPE=command MSG="action:prompt_show" ``` ![Prompt_1](img/macros/Prompt_1.png) ```yaml+jinja [gcode_macro SHOW_PROMPT_2] gcode: RESPOND TYPE=command MSG="action:prompt_begin Nevermind just close this >>>" RESPOND TYPE=command MSG="action:prompt_text Do you want to load a new filament?" RESPOND TYPE=command MSG="action:prompt_footer_button Load|LOAD_FILAMENT" RESPOND TYPE=command MSG="action:prompt_footer_button Unload|UNLOAD_FILAMENT|error" RESPOND TYPE=command MSG="action:prompt_show" ``` ![Prompt_2](img/macros/Prompt_2.png)
